A few lands I remembered.
Murmuring Bosk Cause why not? Replace a Forest and you just got that much more fixing!
Myriad Landscape Weeds out lands for potentially better draws, though is a bit slow.
Krosan Verge Better than Myriad in my opinion because you can fetch one Temple Garden, plus one Overgrown Tomb, or a Godless Shrine if you ever put them in.

Hmm...Triple posting...
Song of the Dryads for permanent (excluding enchantment hate) removal of their commanders...or anything else.

I made a deck quite similar to this, and it works awesomely! I used Pharika, God of Affliction and Athreos, God of Passage and they actually helped a bunch! Thanks for the ideas!

btw, the new DTK card Assault Formation pretty much means another doran in the deck.

Just now looking into making a tiny leaders deck and was leaning towards Doran. Great deck.
I've noticed that this format has limited options for board wipes compared to EDH. That being said, this deck has access to Plague Boiler and Gaze of Granite.

I think that instead of the snare squad, you should run Nyx-Fleece Ram

Thanks for all the comments guys!
Katsudon my though exactly, though I'm not 100% sure should I add it. Most of the times it would just be a dead draw or when you would actually need it, you wouldn't get it. The odds for both "you need it" and "you have it" are ridiculously low.
PacoBob, thanks! Already have Drown in Sorrow and if I decided to add more, I would add Pernicious Deed like winterflame6 suggested. Or Martial Coup
draconwme, as already stated, it's in the deck. It was one of the first cards I added.

you have Murmuring Bosk in the maybe board, you should get that ASAP.
maybe a Courser of Kruphix as well, that will speed you up a lot
for fun, Hunted Horror (you would have ways to deal with the tokens)
and you do have access to white, so stuff like Swords to Plowshares, Path to Exile and even Condemn, cheap removal is always good removal

rshizzle, remember. This is a budget deck.
The only treefolk in this deck is Doran so I'm not that sure if Murmuring Bosk would be a that good idea after all. Courser of Kruphix is a possibility but the pricetag is still pretty steep (even though it has gone down for a lot). Hunted Horror doesn't speak to me at all. Condemn maybe, but I don't think there is anything worse to remove.

hey :)
might wanna play sheltering word & silkwrap?
cheers

DestricteD Thanks!
Sheltering Word looks like it could work. Thanks!
Also, FYI, if you put [ [ Sheltering Word ] ] (without spaces) you will get it properly linked as Sheltering Word :) That also gives an option to tag them as suggested cards. Same brackets can be used with nicknames.

Hero's Resolve and Shape the Sands work nice with doran. Hope this helps!
March 22, 2015 10:14 p.m.
Veteran Armorer possibly? i apologize for triple posting

Th3Rush97 thanks but no thanks. Only good thing about it is the fact that it's flying. 5/5 doesn't mean anything in doran deck where Nyx-Fleece Ram types of cards do the absolute same. Having flying is not worth that drawback.

Found some that might be good.
Forbidding Watchtower I'm REALLY recommending this.
Grim Guardian Maybe. At best he's a 4/4 that can whittle down your opponent 8 times with himself, your enchantments and Nyx-Fleece Ram
Fleetfoot Panther Possibly a Sideboard card for burn and kill decks. Can even bring Doran back so you don't have to pay the extra 2 mana from the command zone. (Though if he gets killed again the tax will be 4)
Brimaz, King of Oreskos A bit much for budget, but a potential 4/4 Vigilance that brings out 1/1's is pretty neat.
Citanul Woodreaders Pretty good if you have the mana, if not, still a possible 4/4.
Benalish Emissary Complete jerk if you can pay Kicker, another potential 4/4 if not.
Athreos, God of Passage Seems like his devotion would be pretty easy to get, plus his effect makes him pretty neat. If they kill your commander and don't pay, then you don't have to pay the tax if you bring Doran into your hand.
Pharika, God of Affliction Another god with an interesting effect.
Dauntless Escort Probably a sideboard card, but it looks like a good one to me.
Bosk Banneret Lowers the Commander tax by 2! Also, your Skinshifter by 1! Other than that, still a 3/3 for 2.
Augur il-Vec NOBODY RUNS SHADOW. So a 3/3 unblockable seems neat. Plus it can give you that little boost if you need it.
Village Bell-Ringer Flash in a 4/4 after attacking! Or when your opponent is attacking and thinks you can't block!
Loxodon Smiter A good sideboard card for hand disruption or annoying counter decks.
