Just noticed there is only 59 cards so I could add another mountain or maybe throw in tibalt. Any suggestions?

An effective wolf deck can lose a few wolves in favor of a stronger card which is not thematic. Strangleroot geist over scorned villager I would say. Full moon's rise is not as useful as I used to think, many people have proven this to me (much to my dismay!) It will not protect young wolf (I know, SO devastating) but mostly, it won't protect immerwolf which, in turn, will leave your battle plan more exposed to weakness!

4 immerwolves is a must and i would add village survivors. how do you plan to handle decks which can deal damage without attacking? Or worse, decks which can simply handle everything wolves can throw! Hellrider is the answer xD

Throw in an Instigator Gang. Do NOT use Tibalt. He needs a very specialized deck to work, and that deck is not aggro.

This.

I would recommend Kruin Outlaw over instigator gang(not that it is a bad choice... certainly works in wolf tribal!) because I am not a fan of +x/+0.... it leaves your super powered creatures open to the same removal they were open to prior to the effect. BSZ, skinrender, rollin temblor, shock/pillar, volley pre-morbid, for some geistflame and gutshot are enough.

Beyond that, Kruin outlaw will give your opponent an immediate threat to deal with, it flips to double strike and, with mayors and immerwolves.... He would be many players' primary target. Sometimes, giving them that distraction for even just a moment is enough.

what jumps out to me is that you only have 19 lands, you need 22-23. 4 Copperline Gorge would be ideal but if that's outside your budget then add some extra forests and mountains

I'm not sold on Lambholt Elders. I would run 4x Scorned Villagers... easy mana ramp, and vigilant when they flip. 4 Immerwolves are a must, too.
