Added Blasting Station and Commune with the Gods. I removed Vinelasher Kudzu and Nylea, God of the Hunt Should play a little smoother.

So many infinite combos in one deck for such a low price! I'd run more unsummon so you have more chance to cast the combo safely early, probably in exchange for Vinelasher / Nylea which seem to be the weakest (hardest to cast) version. Also maybe you could consider some tutoring / drawing cards to thin your deck= easier infinite combo.
+1, though I won't play it, I like having friends.

I'd suggest Blasting Station
for infinite damage, so you won't even need to get Sporemound
off the field to win. And if you feel like it anyway, you can always sac it. Also comes down turn 2 with a turn 1 Elvish Mystic
so it curves perfectly well. I'd also recommend Commune with the Gods
to help you dig for Sporemound
and Life and Limb
since you can't do a thing unless you get both. Also, you could use Sundering Vitae
to stop the infinite combo by destroying Life and Limb
. You can cast if for free with convoke, so that could help you go off sooner, and you could also use it in response to a Pyroclasm
trying to kill off your lands if you had no other choice.

Also, I'd disagree on Echoing Truth being the way to go. It's better if you're bouncing your opponents things, but that's not the priority, is it? Going with more 1 mana bounce instants means you won't have to delay going off a turn until you have enough mana quite as often, and as this is already slow for a combo deck, I don't think you can afford that delay.

I must just be stupid but can you break down the combo a little more in detail? I don't get how it works. Thanks!

@syggsally, Life & Limb makes every saproling a land & vice versa. Sporemound makes a saproling spawn when a land enters the battlefield. But the saproling is a land too, so it spawns another saproling etc. into infinity. Combine with other effects of 'creature or land enters the battlefield', and a card to end it before the end of time itself and you have a win.

Ohhhh okay, reading it that way makes sense to me. Sweet man. And thanks.

Come to think of it, Essence Warden
would be a cheaper way to get infinite life if Courser of Kruphix
is too slow for your taste.

No problem! That looks great! I've just realized what he problem was with my attempt at this deck: I was limiting myself to Bad Tribal formatting fungus. All I might suugest:
Drop Retraction Helix and Unsummon and replace with 2 more Echoing Truth , 4 Negate , and 2 Mana Leak maybe? Or Spell Pierce perhaps? Swan Song could be really good. Muddle the Mixture is cool, what with transmute, but 2 blue. The BANE of this deck when I made it and this one too I'm sure is noncreature spells like Pyroclasm and Electrickery . They wipe not only your creatures but your lands. Fortunately, restrictive counters are far easier to come by, cheaper, and often really useful and better (save for whatever they can't counter.).
