I played my first couple games of Legacy recently, so now I'm brewing badly (as is my way). I have a squirrel problem, and this was the best I could come up with. The basic goal of the deck is to get little creatures out, protect them with counter magic, dig with your standard cantrips, and ramp up to an alpha strike or an infinite combo.

Arbor Elf creates more creatures with Squirrel Nest and ramps with Wild Growth. Intruder Alarm creates an infinite combo with Arbor Elf + Squirrel Nest or with Sprout Swarm and at least 5 creatures. (Deranged Hermit creates 5 creatures all at once.)

Opposition ensures that you have one turn after your infinite combo so you can swing (since squirrels don't have haste, despite their natural agility). If you already have a Squirrel Mob in play from before the infinite combo launches, it becomes infinitely large, and Strength in Numbers gives it trample.
