You threaten the fastest kills against combo by resolving Chalice of the Void and boarding into Thorn of Amethyst, winning the game on turn 1.
If you're playing 1-drops and no Chalice, then maybe Tireless Tribe is a necessary evil because the non-Chalice wall decks have almost 0 interaction with non-aggro strategies. Either way you probably still lose to combo and still lose to Xerox.dec. Durdly creature-heavy strategies don't work unless you heavily disrupt the spell-based decks.
I'm very tempted to try the new kappa cannoneer in here. Powering it out with the 0 cmc artifacts.

Somehow I missed this janky deck before, but it's nice! I may have to experiment with it one of these weeks.
Allosaurus shepherd is not good enough here?
Also maybe a craterhoof for the NO version, for the times you do not have a sac outlet ready and/or it would be lethal (3 0-manas creatures and cradle make pattern+cabal/tower or NO+fetch/arbor/bird a T2 kill, so for one slot it may be worth it)?
Allosaurus should be good enough in the GSZ + NO versions.
Craterhoof Behemoth works with multiple Ornithopter and Phyrexian Walker, but the rest cannot attack without an enabler... So it would often be nonlethal. Whereas Hulk finds Doran + Safekeeper + 12 0s.
To make Hoof better, once you start adding more 0/xs that can attack and more green creatures as NO fodder (Ignoble Hierarch?), at some point it just becomes a bad Elf deck.
Mr. Lee played this version on stream: https://youtu.be/dSBvxT2z33Y pretty fun and won some matches.
Kai streamed this deck with the new card The Pride of Hull Clade.
Matches 1-3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D51Swv8nqCk&t=5931s
Matches 4-5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-c1GnilG7s
Positive record, deck seems pretty solid.
Oh wow the new build looks quite good.
I think this was his decklist? Strategy changed quite a bit
//Lands: 20
4 Urza's Saga
4 Misty Rainforest
3 Tropical Island
3 Tundra
2 Savannah
4 Gaea's Cradle
//Spells: 14
4 Force of Will
3 Swords to Plowshares
2 Once Upon A Time
2 Force of Negation
1 Lorien Revealed
2 Last March of the Ents
//Creatures: 24
4 Shield Sphere
4 Walking Bulwark
4 Delighted Halfling
2 Fog Bank
2 Wall of Denial
4 Arcades, the Strategist
2 Wall of Stolen Identity
2 The Pride of Hull Clade
//Enchantments: 2
1 Assault Formation
1 High Alert
There's a lot of interaction, many ways to let walls attack, many ways to ramp into Pride. The wall package itself is trimmed down. Last March of the Ents is a funny Cradle payoff with x/8s and x/15s.
Draw 15 seems a little dangerous in a Bowmaster format. It's good that you can attack with Pride without its ability.
Edit: I'm surprised the deck doesn't want 4 Wall of Denial. It's Shroud Murktide Regent, very hard to beat in combat or interact with, and it pitches to Force. The only downside is you can't use targetted effects (Assault Formation, Bulwark) but that might just be an argument to reduce reliance on those and use more global effects like High Alert & Arcades.
