Look for help on optimsing my squirrel deck

Deck Help

This is my decklist: https://moxfield.com/decks/M8fDqOrYCkyAPiBtdlCjNQ
Hey everyone! I wanted to share my Hazel of the Rootbloom Commander deck built around Squirrel tribal + aristocrats synergy. The main plan is to flood the board with tokens using cards like Chatterfang, Squirrel General, Squirrel Nest, Deep Forest Hermit, and Scurry of Squirrels, then convert that board presence into value and life drain with Zulaport Cutthroat, Poison-Tip Archer, Nadier’s Nightblade, and Bastion of Remembrance.

The deck also leans into token value engines like Academy Manufactor, Tireless Provisioner, and Idol of Oblivion, while Skullclamp and Plumb the Forbidden keep the cards flowing. There’s a secondary life-drain finish with Exsanguinate and some explosive scaling through Beastmaster Ascension or Second Harvest.

I’m aiming for a strong but not cEDH power level — something that can snowball hard in mid-game but still feels interactive and fun for a typical pod. I’d love feedback on consistency, potential upgrades, or cuts that could tighten the game plan even more. Appreciate any thoughts from fellow Golgari or Squirrel fans!
