Hi everyone,
Thought I'd consult the brains trust and see where it leads.
This weekend I'll be taking this to a constructed standard event. It's a greedy deck aimed at hitting 7cmc quick, and spamming Agent repeatedly.
It's not clever or even competitive, but I find it fun to play.
Just a quick mock-up. I need to spend a bit more time with card choices obviously. Panharmonicon seems like a nice alternative to Yarok, so I'll probably make that swap. Blade of Selves could easily be in multiples, but given Thassa blinks creatures, paying the equip cost turn after turn might stagnate my attacking with Blade.
The main card that I recommend adding is Field of the Dead. It means that even if everything that you control is killed/wrathed/countered/etc. you can still grind people out in the long run. You could also add Golos, Tireless Pilgrim and a Cascading Cataracts if you wanted.
Arboreal Grazer is such utility in decks like this, I absolutely want to see it turn 1/2. Her big butt and reach helps to stifle those early attacks that will now be sent in your opponents direction. 28 lands feels like the right amount in Field of the deadArboreal Grazer decklists. I realize you have turn 2 Baleful Strix which is also awesome, it only trades and doesn't give you free blocks early.
With regards to Reclamation Sage I tend to only run one from days past. However, you know your meta better than we do and perhaps you need multiples? I mean it isn't really toolbox deck so I wouldn't fault anyone for running more than one copy
The decks needs 1 drops more than it needs 6 drops. I'd rather see them cut for Grazers.
I think this is the right call.
Agent/Stealing ***** is where I wanna be with this deck, so doing this ASAP is Plan A.
Being able to reset post wrath is Plan B. Thassa should be great for this.

3 Arboreal Grazer
4 Fblthp, the Lost
4 Silhana Wayfinder
4 Murderous Rider
2 Neoform
4 Risen Reef
4 Thassa, Deep-Dwelling
3 Yarok, the Desecrated
4 Agent of Treachery
2 Massacre Girl
And of course I'm thinking of making up a multiplayer version of this.
2 Arboreal Grazer
4 Coiling Oracle
4 Baleful Strix
4 Risen Reef
1 Loaming Shaman
1 Eternal Witness
2 Reclamation Sage
4 Thassa, Deep-Dwelling
3 Yarok, the Desecrated
2 Noxious Gearhulk
4 Agent of Treachery
1 Blade of Selves

Thoughts? How can I improve this?
Another thing to consider is that Eldritch Evolution is often better than Neoform because of the turn 1 Arboreal Grazer, turn 2 Eldritch Evolution for Risen Reef, turn 3 Risen Reef lines.

Field of the Dead nobo with Panharmonicon I think, which would necessitate Yarok. Which is fine.
Still on the fence with Noxious Gearhulk, which are okay, but I'll probably just swamp them for some Deadeye Navigator etc.
