The deck seems a little slow since most of your creatures are high in mana cost.
I suggest you look at the folliowing cards: Saproling Symbiosis, Scatter the Seeds, Strength in Numbers, Sporesower Thallid, Sporoloth Ancient, thallid germinator, Mycoloth and Pollenbright wings.

Here are a few cards which will help you a lot to stay alive: Essence Warden and Soul Warden.
For maximum damage try using Mantle of Leadership on A Silhana ledgewalker if you have a good creature generation rate.

On the whole a very good deck.

I did swap in a few Essence and Soul Wardens because I agree, it does need some life gain. Also decided to swap in some Saproling Symbiosis instead of Supply // Demand. For the rest though, I like the cards better that I put in there and I just don't want to make it too large. Oh, and the Hermits are there to be played morphed of course, and will function as fairly low-cost creatures until ready to be flipped.

And as for the Quirion Elves, those are there so they can be tapped for white mana if necessary.

Reworked this deck to bring it down to 60 cards. Finally (I know, only 3 years later) got around to building and playtesting it. Worked better than I expected. On most tests by about turn 8 - 10 it's got 10+ saprolings at 2/2 or 3/3 ready to take someone out, and often a Mycoloth with 8-16 counters (and good luck taking out that beast if you can't target it). Sure there's better faster decks out there, but this one is FUN.
