Here is something I've been playing with for a little while, and it's pretty good assuming there isn't too much combo in your meta. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Creatures:39
4 Llanowar Elvs
4 Fyndhorn Elves
4 Boreal Druid
4 Birchlore Rangers
2 Elves of Deep Shadow
2 Quirion Ranger
4 Priest of Titania
4 Wirewood Herald
4 Elvish Visionary
4 Safehold Elite
2 Timberwatch Elf
1 Heedless One

Noncreature
3 Land Grant
4 Skullclamp
3 Sprout Swarm

Lands:
11 Forest

SB
4 Elvish Hunter
4 Wellwisher
4 Gleeful Sabotage
3 Essence Warden

Make the win condition Grapeshot, possibly Predator Dragon.

Add Nettle Sentinel and Heritage Druid to produce disgusting amounts of mana.

One more Land Grant seems helpful and the Sprout Swarms look unneeded.

Glimpse of Nature allows massive amounts of card drawing and Chord of Calling lets you search up your Nettle Sentinels for fast mana production. A singleton Staff of Domination allows a combo with Priest of Titania to randomly spring up. Also, the M10 card Elvish Archdruid has a similar effect to Priest of Titania, although I'm uncertain how useful that combo will be in the deck.

Peasant= No rares and 5 uncommons max. Way to negate all your advice.

Well I have seen Peasant formats meaning no rares so his advice of Nettle Sentinel (common), Land Grant (common), Grapeshot (common) and Heritage Druid (uncommon) aren't that far off the mark.  I would drop the Heedless One for the Grapeshot as a win condition.  But of course dropping the Skullclamps for the Heritage Druids invalidates your draw engine. But the Nettle Sentinels still work well with the Birchlore Rangers.

I did not realize this was an alternate format, I thought he just meant budget which is why I made rare suggestions last.

Bill_Murray, you might want to be at least a bit respectful if you hope to obtain any respect on these forums.

If you get five uncommons, simply ignore my last paragraph and use 1 Heritage Druid and 4 Skullclamps as uncommons. Grapeshot will likely be a good win condition, although it's hard to say for sure because Heritage Druid is a huge mana producer. Luckily, your Wirewood Heralds can search this singleton copy out of your deck and get you rolling. Look at Pro Tour Berlin coverage to get some ideas for this deck and see what you can pull from that.

Yeah sorry about that. I don't know what my problem is sometimes.

It's funny that you make this suggestion, because it was an alternate build I had in mind. I didn't post it because it's boring as hell. I will probably end up playing the Grapeshot version until I'm bored and just kill them with beats. Thanks for the suggestions.

Is Bloodline Shaman too slow for a deck like this?

Try lys alana huntmaster, it's a little expensive at 4 mana but if you get it going you're likely to just win.

Also, up the quirion rangers to 4. They're pretty broken with priest or timberwatch.
