I think this is what I build. last card cut was 0/6 wall as a hedge. Bully I think is awful in this deck in sealed, and chaser is not much better. Leap could get cut for something I guess, or just moved to the board. Rev is a little dicey with 14 creatures, but you have 4 dudes for which it basically ends the game.

Oh, Nissa's Revelation is totally 100% bonkers, especially with Metorite and Pilgramage helping you get to 7.
And not to be "that guy" but this pool is totally average.

Nissa'a Revalation, Really? I trust your opinion and i don't doubt it does work. i was scarred to put a 7 drop that doesn't immediately effect the board in the deck. just last night i did a draft with a similar curve to this deck with Gideon's Phalanx which does effect the board the turn played and 4 times I either won or died with it in my hand and on 6 mana. never once cast it. i was really bummed to learn it was the worst card in my deck. In sealed when I don't have a clear cut direction I default to Aggro.

I would like to give it a try and when i do ill let you know how if played

It is a 7 drop so you should have some plan on getting to 7... but scry 5 draw 5 gain 5 or whatever is totally insane.

Think I would've tried this. No real interaction, but Evolutionary Leap and Macabre Waltz seems like a badass CA engine. Fleshbag Marauder recurrence, a couple of death touchers, a bunch of elves. I'd board into red depending on the matchup I think.

I wanted to run Kothoped, but 1 removal spell (and a fight spell at that) doesn't cut it.

I see limited as a bomb format. Kothoped, Leap, Spider, Dwynen, and Maulers are all bombs... and husk can be. Given the recurrence Waltz can give you, I'd give my way a shot. 3 removal spells and some mediocre creatures just seems worse than good creatures and a bomb.
