I'm going to assume this deck's on a budget.

The idea for the deck is a classic beginner build. Throw out strong stuff, swing for damage with a little buff help on the way, turn tempo and quick material into an aggro win.

A lot of the cards you've got have better, cheaper versions that you could swap out very easily/cheaply. Take a look at:

Itzquinth, Firstborn of Gishath
Lightning Bolt
Atarka's Command
Questing Druid // Seek the Beast
Bonecrusher Giant // Stomp
Hearth Elemental // Stoke Genius
Rancor
Zurgo Bellstriker
Gruul Spellbreaker
Renegade Tactics
Domri, Anarch of Bolas
Kird Ape
Vexing Devil
Aloe Alchemist
Hajar, Loyal Bodyguard
Voltaic Brawler
Yavimaya Iconoclast
Vines of Vastwood

Aborneal Gazer doesn't give you enough value for what it does. It speeds you up a turn in development and is a good target for your buff cards, but without them, it just sits there, and ideally you'd want to stack the buff damage on regular damage rather than it being just a direct buff damage target. You'd be much better off with a one-drop damage clock that gets the ball rolling.

I'd also recommend upping the lands to at least 20, as you will eat mulligans with only 18, and you badly want to out material the removal opponent will be running.

I'd be happy to help continue to shape the deck if you'd like.

Couple problems with the build.

Off the bat, shamans are a generally weak tribe. They don't have a good lord or lords like the powerful tribes (elves, goblins, merfolk), they aren't beefy or fast, and they don't have endless interaction like elves or wizards. So, a shaman tribal deck is sort of a bad idea in general.

That being said, if you want to make one, you've gotta make the whole build about using the advantages they have. Trim out the unnecessary or slow cards (Compass, giant growth, renegade tactics, battle rage), and throw in some more shaman-themed synergy. They don't do well as a quick damage build like the previous build, they've gotta rely on swarm tactics and the synergy them have, most of which involves enter the battlefield triggers.

Check out:

Ignoble Hierarch
Burning-Tree Shaman
Eternal Witness
Obelisk of Urd
Icon of Ancestry

Knock the lands up to 20 as well (this is a general rule of thumb to at least be 20 on the very low end).

Not really.

Honestly, you're all over the place at this point. Playing tribal on a budget is very difficult, as all the cards you really want are too expensive for the build. Collected Company, Cavern of Souls, Fable of the Mirror-Breaker // Reflection of Kiki-Jiki, Coat of Arms, Seasoned Pyromancer. Plus, running a dual-color budget in competitive means you can't use the fetch, shock, Surveil, or cycling lands that are a tremendous help in development, color fixing, and deck thinning.

If you're shooting for a competitive budget modern build, I'd suggest scrapping this idea and going for a mono-green aggro, a mono-red burn, or a red/green good-stuff aggro like it was originally with a bunch of BOGO cards to make up for the difference in budget. The simplicity of mono-green aggro combined with how cheap some of its heavy hitters are means you could have a good working deck that's consistent and competitive, and probably wouldn't cost more than $20-$30 in total. That would generally be my suggestion, but that's just how I see it. Not trying to throw shade on you or your decks. If you want to run shamans, run shamans and max out their good stuff and you'll be fine.

Here's an example. That deck should go for $20, and is competitive despite its budget range.

I like 4x Obelisk of Urd over Escape the Wilds. It has instant value, where as Wilds takes a turn to do anything, and Urd is faster, as you'll be able to cast it turn 4 and will be able to stomp faces turn 5.

4x Metallic Mimic and switch Masked Vandal to the sideboard. You really, really, really want to drop a Mimic turn 2 so that all the shamans hit the field with their bonus, and 4 copies will up the chances of that.

Anachomancer isn't as fitting as well, cause it reduces colorless mana, so it doesn't help your noncreature spells at all and about half your critters. Ignoble Hierarch is a better version (faster, guaranteed mana boost, exalted).

Here's how I'd run your deck as is:
