Willow Elf

Creature — Elf

It there are 4 Green vanilla creatures with a CMC of 1:

And a grand total of 1 colourless creature that fits these criteria:

If you were curious how to do the Gatherer search for vanillas, simply search Rules Text: NOT "A" "E" "I" "O" "U". That will eliminate any non-vanilla.

I can give you a couple thoughts at least.

-Quirion Ranger is very weak in this list- you've only got 4 Forests and Dryad Arbor. What this means is that most of the time, it's going to be a Willow Elf with occasional Maze of Ith effects.

-Natural Order is definitely where you want to be these days. Chaos Elves existed mostly to fight Miracles- a matchup that has dramatically improved since the Top ban.

-You've got 4 Crop Rotations, but really only 1 or 2 lands you'd want to fetch with it.

-Deathrite Shaman is definitely the best mana dork, but with 0 fetchlands to feed him with, he won't be more than a Norwood Ranger most of the time. Better to stick with old reliable for now.

-Your graveyard hate is way too slow in a format where BR Reanimator can go off turn 1 on the play.

-Abrupt Decay, while still a very, very good card, is less necessary in today's meta, and probably isn't needed as a 4-of anymore.

Keeping budget in mind, I'd make the following changes to your list.

-2 Quirion Ranger, -1 Crop Rotation, +3 Natural Order

(You definitely want Natural Order these days, and these cards are the weakest links in your current build)

-3 Deathrite Shaman, +3 Llanowar Elves

(will more reliably produce mana, at least until you've got fetchlands)

-2 Abrupt Decay, +2 Faerie Macabre

(uncounterable grave hate, usable when you're on the draw)

-1 Scavenging Ooze, +1 Bojuka Bog

(fetchable, instant speed grave hate, with Crop Rotation)

-2 Inquisition of Kozilek, +2 Duress

(diversifying gives your discard a bit more reach)

-1 Ramunap Excavator , +1 Progenitus

(the first snake dude wants a different kind of deck than this one, the other puts in a lot of work in the rougher matchups)
