I like it. Theme decks are always cool. But you have a lot of cheap creatures, then a handful of expensive spells. Might need some mana ramp to get you from one end to the other faster. The faster you can pump out a big Howl of the Night Pack the better. :D Rampant Growth  is a solid staple. Explosive Vegetation  is also VERY amazing. will get you up there real quick. There are several more, shouldn't be that hard to find. Good luck, though! Wolves are pretty awesome. EDIT: Oh! Almost forgot. If you go for a splash of red, Immerwolf  can help bump your guys up. Might be worth a look, who knows...

Kessig Cagebreakers  could be interesting, though I don't know if it breaks your theme any. Plus, it works better if you have a way to get things into the graveyard anyway. Also a couple Feed the Pack  could be cool, or possibly Parallel Lives  .

Here's a wolf deck I slammed together in another thread for someone. It includes one creature that is technically a hound. It is a little more aggresive than yours because I see wolves as a very aggresive creature type. I have always been fond of Wolfbriar Elemental though. Land 20 x Forest Creatures 4 x Wild Dogs  4 x Young Wolf 4 x Timberpack Wolf 4 x Wandering Wolf  4 x Darkthicket Wolf 4 x Wolfir Avenger Other Spells 4 x Rancor  4 x Might of Old Krosa  4 x Vines of Vastwood  3 x Dismember  1 x Garruk Relentless

Beastmaster Ascension is really for a token deck. If you've attacked with seven wolves you should have either won the game or almost won the game. It is also a terrible topdeck. A simple spell like Overrun  would be better. Primal Rage doesn't make sense because your creatures aren't very big. What do you plan to trample over? Wolfbriar Elemental , Feed the Pack , and Howl of the Night Pack all seem like fun cards, but if you don't have any ramp at all then how do you plan to play all of them? They are expensive spells.

Beastmaster Ascension is good for tokens as well as a deck with heavy creature count like this one. I don't need to attack with 7 different wolves, just attack with enough wolves 7 times. Plus all the spells, though big, give me plenty of tokens to attack with so why not lol? Overrun is good... but temporary, I hate temporary.
Primal Rage is just a card to have just so I can get a permanent trample. Yeah my wolves are small (at first) but that's what the Beastmaster Ascension is for. That's why I'm only going to be running 2 of them.
Every single deck that I own is immensely fast to play, having Wolfbriar Elemental (who's not even that bad considering), Feed the Pack and Howl of the Night Pack may be expensive, however the way I see it, their price is pretty good for the results.
This deck does lack ramp which may be it's downfall but I really don't mind. I'm not looking for an amazing deck that will win every time (I already have a deck for that) I just want something fun to use :D

Mark of Sakiko  I guess could be a good ramp card if I took out 2x Feed the Pack and 2x Howl of the Nightpack  .
