Well First the deck list.

// Lands
3 Forest
3 Plains
4 Windswept Heath
4 Savannah

// Creatures
4 Gaddock Teeg
2 Mystic Enforcer
4 Nimble Mongoose
4 Watchwolf
4 Troll Ascetic
4 Tarmogoyf

// Spells
4 Lotus Petal
4 Giant Growth
4 Rancor
4 Mana Tithe
4 Tithe
4 Swords to Plowshares

// Sideboard
SB: 4 Xantid Swarm
SB: 3 Harmonic Sliver
SB: 4 Leyline of the Void
SB: 4 Compost

So if you can not tell by now I am running a pretty straightforward green white agro deck. I have a little disruption, some land grabbing. Some of my creatures have evasion, the others are good enough on there own. There are some pump spells, adn a bit of trample. A little tarmo food thrown in for fun.
And thats the deck.

The only cards I am not totally sure about are Giant Growth and Mystic Enforcer.

Firstly, Im puzzled by the creature base. Watchwolf makes sense a bit, so does Ascetic Troll somewhat, but neither Nimble Mongoose, Mystic Enforcer or Goyf looks like they belong. Your obviously not running any cantrips because you don't play blue, so you aren't filling you yard very fast so threshold seems far away. Also Goyf doesn't automatically fit into any deck green. When do people get this. I'll repeat:

Goyf does not automatically fit into any deck green!

Don't take it personally, it is more of a shoutout to the source community.

Anyways, some more comments:
Giant Growth is not so good nowadays. Swords to Plowshares is becoming more and more populair since the rise of goyf so at the best Giant Growth are gonna be a situational healing salve or a situational lightning bolt. Not good enough. Either play some better pump, or just more threats, like Call of the Herd.

Lotus Petal seems okay here since it fills your yard, but as said, I don't see that the plan of threshold is worth going for.

Rancor is fine, so is Swords to Plowshares.

Tithe and Mana Tithe. No comment on this, haven't played much with them personally to have much of an oppinion on these, but my instinct tells me their not good/needed in here. Something.

Sideboard confuses me alot though. Xantid Swarm seems totally out of place and im not so sure about leyline either.

A last concluding question: What do you do against combo? Hope you have Teeg and maybe a Lotus Petal or just scoops?

???

Into any green aggro deck surely, even more when it plays rancor...

Well it is a green white agro deck so off course combo is a little hard.
I was thinking of running orims chant or abeyance. Nimble Mongoose is a good card because it has shrowd. If I hit thresh than thats all fine and good.
I don't know about mystic enforcer either, I usually run Loxodon Hierarch.

Why shouldn't my deck run Tarmogoyf. When I drop him he is at least a 3/4.
More than good enough to run as a 1G beater. I mean why dose everyone think just because I have Tarmogoyf in my deck I have to run my whole deck based on it.

Side Board is a mete call. Your mete is different than mine.

I like the low land count with Lotus Petals and Tithe. Synergy with Goyf is obvious there. Speaking of Goynergy, you might also consider trying to fit in a threesome of Wild Mongrels. Drop a Troll Ascetic, move one of the Teegs to the board and I'm thinking either one of the Giant Growth or one of the Enforcers can take a hike.

I don't like the Nimble Mongoose here either. I'd run Isamaru and Savannah Lions there. The simple fact is, you can't Rancor your one drop. Cats and Dogs like Rancor. Mongeese do not.

I also don't like Mana Tithe. You should really consider Cursed Scroll instead. Cursed Scroll gives you another option when the critters are clogged up.
