Here's another idea to try out the doubleup mechanic. I really like this mechanic, and it makes for some interesting cards.
Transformation of Oaks
4GG
Sorcery
Put a 4/4 Green Beast into play
Doubleup-Sacrifice a creature
This way, your turning your small elves into giant beasts. It feels cool, and very flavorful for green. Plus, its an uncounterable win condition for an elf based deck.
Transformation of Oaks
4GG
Sorcery
Put a 4/4 Green Beast into play
Doubleup-Sacrifice a non-token creature

I like this although there are a few 2-card infinite combos with this, Mana Echoes, Earthcraft, Hair-Strung Koto, Kyren Negotiations, Pandemonium, Wirewood Savage, and Auriok Champion/Soul Warden come up after a quick look through gatherer.
At its cost it's probably ok.

Just make it "sacrifice a nontoken creature".

That is a great name but "Oaks" seems like it clashes with "beast". Could there be a better creature type?

The art for Might of Oaks shows a Squirrel, but 4/4 Squirrels don't make sense. At 4/4 it's normally beasts, so maybe something more like "Transformation of the Wild". I'd just like to point out that the first one is free at 4GG, and I think it should read "Sacrifice a nontoken creature you control" for completeness's sake.

You can't sacrifice permanents that you don't control.

The squirrel has nothing to do with the Oak in might of oaks. The squirrel was chosen mostly to illustrate a tiny forest creature becoming very large - oaks are strong, and when you pump that strength into a creature it grows large and powerful (also because squirrels are funny). There's nothing intrinsic about squirrels that ties them to oaks. |

Okay, fine. But my point is that they could have as easily used a badger or something to show the spell, but a squirrel is just the most archetypical "small woodland creature." Also funniest. I'm sure they never sat down and thought "okay, we need an animal that lives in and around oak trees."
