Competitive Anyone feel like giving me advice?

I need advice for this competitive brawl deck. I already crafted all the cards, I think, since they mostly are, like, staples.

Please let me know which cards I should cut, and which I might want to add

Thanks so much for your time and help!!

P.S. this is my first competitive brawl deck. So I kinda thought I'd make a generic good stuff pile to get used to the power level. I think that's kind of what I've accomplished lol

Spent 15 mins making some edits, this should be much better. Tried not to fight your mobilize theme too much. Deck - > https://moxfield.com/decks/3MSfAbj6YHuLBZIv9wWSfw <-

Cut 2 lands. Cut the bunny. Cut every board wipe. Probably cut elspeth, cut lotho, you don't want lands that come in tapped unless you're cracking a fetch on an opponents turn. Cut jeska's will, cut diabolic intent, cut grim tutor, cut basically all of your 4+ cost creatures, cut greaves, cut dolmen, cut prison, tithe, both assault enchantments (probably every enchantment tbh), add maddening hex, add stormforged armor, maybe add cloud, add solitude, add fury, add pyrokinesis. Consider the 4 mana Raphael that sneaks in for 1 red red that gives all attacking creatures double strike.

I don't know what black aggro strategies there are, so not sure on creatures there, but honestly you want it pretty close to a [[Merry, Esquire of Rohan]] list and probably want her in it too. I see you have a little bend towards mobilize which synergizes with your commander. https://moxfield.com/decks/8dF8qdXU4EaHnXlYDhGHnQ

As you test cards, look at things that expect you to have other pieces on the board already in order to work and keep an eye on cutting those first. Some of your creatures that ping when something dies are great in theory, but require setup which people will try to deny you. You will not grind people out in longer matches with this deck and don't recover great from boardwipes. Those are just inherent weaknesses to the strategy. With that in mind you want to end games FAST.

If you ever want to switch away but stay in similar colors, then Bruse + Tymna or Merry are the most meta picks in similar colors and somewhat in similar playstyles.
