This dude on youtube is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to MTG, listen to him.

This comment is not about your deck, just a useful video for beginners in MTG.

play Brimaz, King of Oreskos Wingmate Roc and possibly even Fleecemane Lion ... brimaz is a wall and wingmate roc is just a bomb. also, play 4 Windswept Heath to get out ur lands and play Courser of Kruphix to combo with them. another great two cards are Hornet Queen and Genesis Hydra they can top off your curve with the deck and be great at any point in the game. i also like Eidolon of Blossoms for card draw. you may want to consider playing Elspeth, Sun's Champion for tokens as well. if you want to mainly play green permanents you should consider Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx (2 of) for devotion ramp and big Genesis Hydra s and even big monstrous with Polukranos, World Eater . anyway, i hope you enjoy magic because it is a great game and pastime.

one prob, do you think he has access to all those high cost cards if he is a new player?

If you can find anyHornet Nest those would be good also. I know this has nothing to do with your deck but I often tell new players to go with an agro deck there normally the simplest to make and play and they win a lot I've seen to many people get frustrated and quit because the couldn't make a competitive midrange deck if you can't get the token thing to work try Boss sly

well i mean i understand because i'm in the same boat with the limited money i currently have as well but there is always christmas, birthdays, etc. and of course i didnt necessarily mean add every single one. and being a new player its all about experimenting. my advice is talk to people who play a lot and ask for advice as much as possible even if you may thinks its wierd. the few that would really help would be nykthos ($3 each), fleecemane lion ($3 each) and an elspeth or two ($24-ish each) otherwise, on-a-budget cards like Mistcutter Hydra or Eidolon of Blossoms . and for some extra fun maybe try a couple See the Unwritten because that card is just awesome i think. and yes, if you have the problem of money, talk to your friends and people at your local game shop and see if they have any advice as well. and good luck playing magic!
