Well here's my take on a old favorite of mine Food Chain. I based it off the Extended version, but added in Sylvan Messenger as the main engine to keep your hand filled. I have to say the deck is a blast to play.
// Lands
4 Forest
2 Savannah
4 Windswept Heath
// Creatures
2 Wirewood Hivemaster
2 Regal Force
1 Fierce Empath
1 Elvish Harbinger
1 Eternal Witness
3 Elvish Visionary
4 Changeling Titan
2 Fyndhorn Elves
2 Birchlore Rangers
4 Sylvan Messenger
4 Llanowar Elves
4 Nettle Sentinel
4 Heritage Druid
4 Elvish Spirit Guide
// Spells
4 Summoner's Pact
4 Food Chain
1 Grapeshot
3 Orim's Chant
// Sideboard
SB: 3 Krosan Grip
SB: 3 Gaddock Teeg
SB: Open Slots???
Card choices:
Food Chain: The main engine of the deck.
Summoner's Pact: Free creature search.
Orim's Chant: Protection. I was thinking of using Swam also but I didn't want to many non-elf creatures.
Grapeshot: Main win condition.
Heritage Druid: The mana engine of the deck along with Nettle Sentinel. You like to see it pre-combo, but it's good to see anytime.
Nettle Sentinel: Untaps alot makes mana with the above.
Mana Elves: Early mana is good.
Sylvan Messenger: Engine to keep your hand filled. While it doesn't always net you cards the times it gets you 4 is awesome.
Elvish Harbinger:Questionable, but it tutors up an elf you might need. Good with Messenger and Visionary, but that's pretty much it. So it's a 2 of.
Birchlore Rangers:You need to make non-Green a couple of times. Can act as a mini Hertitage sometimes. Again useful some times but not all the time so I put it as a 2 of.
Changeling Titan:Now I can hear the WTFs? It's in the deck for a couple of reasons. One is that it Champions a creature. Getting mulitple uses out of your messengers AND Regal Force is so good. Secondly it is a 7/7 and the fact that it counts as an elf.
Elvish Visionary: Replaces itself works good with Harbinger.
Eternal Witness: Sometimes things get put into the yard that you want back.
Fierce Empath: There to help find a Regal Force. I might cut this down to a 1 of since it doesn't find anything else in the deck.
Regal Force: You draw lots of cards.
Wirewood Hivemaster: Pretty much every creature gets you an insect. The Insects turn into mana or more cards with Regal Force.
SB: Wide open.
Basically you want to get Food Chain into play and then play lots of Elves then at some point cast a leathal Grapeshot.
