Thanks for the input everyone. I knew I forgot some stuff like Fleshbag Marauder. Couldn't sleep and was in a bit of a tunnel vision mode.
Original vision was RG elves, but black splash for Shaman of the Pack. Since I felt Golgari Elves we're playing out a tad on the slower side, almost midrange-like, I thought getting red to add something like Exquisite Firecraft as extra reach could help aid the Shamans. Thinking back on it though, black removal can go far and generally hits a large number of targets. Almost anything really if you can fuel Bone Splinters or time Fleshbag Marauders just right.
So certainly I think the consistency of Golgari is strong, and Might of the Masses can act as decent reach once wide enough. However, it's not always interesting to me so I'm still going to try Flameshadow Conjuring for the concept of fun. If it's turns out jank I'll pack it up and play something more consistent after a while.

Flameshadow ConjuringI guess this is kind of where I ended up for initial testing. Red is now purely for Flameshadow Conjuring, which is a bit sad. If it clearly underperforms, it's super easy to dump the concept and transition back to simple Golgari Elves.
Settled with 24 lands since the ball doesn't start rolling until turns 4+. Gatecreepers and scry should help on the land front a bit. No double colored costs outside of green at the moment.
Interested in testing
Evolutionary Leap, but I want to see where Flameshadow Conjuring testing heads first. Also, tempted to reduce the elf focus and swap to more ETBs. However, a quick glance shows its mostly elves that offered a number of ETB effects in the first place and that red didn't seem too impressive on that front unless I underestimate copying the handful of thopter guys. I could maximize scry with Llanowar Empath and find room for
Gilt-Leaf Winnower and
Priest of the Blood Rite, but the deck could be running into a dead end if it doesn't work out from here as the options are growing thin.
Maybe I'll begin looking into Temur colors.
