Craterhoof Behemoth and elves. Usually Heritage Druid, a non zero number of Nettle Sentinel and a Glimpse of Nature.

Basically the deck works like this, from what I know:

Play dorks, like Priest of Titania, so you have access to a bunch of mana to play more dorks, which make more mana, etc.. As you play dudes, you want to draw and cast spells like Distant Melody and Elvish Visionary, giving you a ton of cards, and allowing you to continue to dump Elves all over the place.

It's not strictly necessary, but the engine I believe you want to get going is Birchlore Rangers + Nettle Sentinel + Lys Alana Huntmaster. Having this engine going means when you play an Elf, then you get a token and untap Sentinel, both of which can activate Rangers, making , letting you play another Elf, and so on. So the deck has multiple ways of vomiting Elves onto the field, whether it truly combos or not.

Once you get a ridiculous number of guys out, you activate Timberwatch Elf and swing. You can also win through Ivy Lane Denizen or a Viridian Longbow on a Sentinel. And the deck is so good at making mana and refilling your hand that you can sometimes get some crazy number of cards on the table as early as turn 3.
