Creatures:
4 Wild Mongerel
3 Aquamoeba
4 Basking Rootwalla
4 Wearbear
4 Ninja of the Deep Hours
4 Soldevi Sage

Spells:
4 Accumulated Knowledge
4 AEther Burst
4 Tolarian Winds

Uncommons:
3 Wonder
2 Aether Vial

edit:
10 Island
10 Forest

This deck is extremely aggressive and loves playing creatures at the end of the opponent's turn.  Evasion is everything in peasant and the deck has a very obvious mana curve, so drawing any of the uncommons is house.  The deck has an incredible amount of synergy and builds exponentially especially once Soldevi Sage gets online.  The AEther bursts are more for the early game because late game the deck is simply too aggressive for most decks to handle.  The mana base is also great because any hand with at least 1 Forest and 1 Island is keepable.

There are virutually no peasant tournaments but in testing it consistently beats Affinity and Madness (basically the metagame for peasant) and also has fared extremely well against numerous aggro builds.  The only deck it tends to have a bit of trouble with is burn.  I currently have no sideboard because the deck really doesn't need to sideboard for most of its matchups.  If I had a sideboard it would look something like BEBs, Hydroblasts, artifact hate, and maybe Shelding Plax.

I've also tested the deck with Careful Study, Simic Signet, Coiling Oracle, Deep Analysis, Ideas Unbound, and Obsessive Search and found them all inferior.

Would Deep Analysis be better than Tolarian Winds?  The only creature you can play at instant speed is Rootwalla anyway, and Deep Analysis makes the madness elements better.  I'd also suggest Mental Note, since it makes a lot of the other cards (like Aether Burst, Werebear, and AK) better.

What about Nimble Mongoose?  He gets very good very fast and can quickly go the distance.

2 Aether Vial seems like a wrong choice; it really does seem like the kind of card that is 4 or 0.  You could try Roar of the Wurm in their place, which gets much better with Mental Note as well.  Arrogant Wurm is another good choice for Madness.
