Assault Formation + Tireless Tribe can be a possible turn two kill if you're on the draw. Here's how:

Turn 1: White producing land; Tireless Tribe

Turn 2: Green producing land (can be the same land from turn 1, maybe Temple Garden); Assault Formation. Attack with the Tireless Tribe and discard your hand to pump him up to do 20+ damage.

Going Budget

The Lands

The lands in this deck can be pretty expensive, but work very effectively, so removing them for budget pays a heavy toll on this deck. Though, they can still be replaced by the common Khans of Tarkir lands to have the same effect.

The Creatures

The only super expensive creatures here are Doran, the Siege Tower and Birds of Paradise, and the deck is based around him so cutting him out is basically ruining the deck. You could however, replace the Doran slots with enchantment tutors for a budget alternative, although it's not the best idea. Birds of Paradise could be replaced with Elvish Mystic or something of the sort.

The Spells

Path to Exile is a pretty expensive card, but it's also the best removal spell in white. To go budget, you could replace it with Utter End, Anguished Unmaking, Hero's Downfall, or Ruinous Path, although it's not ideal.

Updates to the Deck

v 1.0.1

After playtesting a bit, most wins come around turns 3-5, and I added 1 more Shield Sphere (I removed the Sapling of Colfenor) because I noticed a majority of my wins came from that with Assault Formation or Doran, the Siege Tower. Kin-Tree Invocation is also great in here because it can create a huge token for only two mana and that is extremely fast and works well in this deck. Its also great to create a token with it after pumping up your Tireless Tribe.

v 1.0.2

Sideboard added. Reclamation Sage and Stony Silence go in against affinity and other artifact decks. Rest in Peace for graveyard hate. Path to Exile for creature heavy decks, and another Doran, the Siege Tower to recover from removal heavy decks. Surgical Extraction for combo based decks, and Eidolon of Rhetoric for Storm.

v 1.0.3

Replaced one of the Birds of Paradise and one Eladamri's Call and put in two Abzan Beastmaster for games that go later than expected. May go back to version 1.0.2 if playtesting is worse after this change.

v 1.0.4

Realized I forgot to add Murmuring Bosk, which is pretty perfect in this deck. I cut one Blooming Marsh and two Marsh Flats. I'm considering cutting the Shield Sphere's because I didn't realize they had defender. Still deciding though.

v 1.1.0

First major change I've made to the deck (with the help of kjh242 on reddit). The alterations I've made are replacing two of the copies of Shield Sphere with 2 Eidolon of Rhetoric (pretty one-sided for us). The other two copies of Shield Sphere I've replaced with 2 Nyx-Fleece Ram.

v 1.1.1

Replaced Marsh Flats and Plains with two copies of Forbidding Watchtower because I found that sometimes I found myself with lands untapped and unsure of what to do with them. Now I do!

If you enjoyed the deck, be sure to drop a quick +1. It would mean a lot.

And I would never forget to give credit where it’s due. Shoutout to Liquidbeaver and his deck Doran's Demolition Derby for inspiring me to create this deck. Thank you.
