This is a deck idea I had when I found out about Essence of the Wild. It uses cheerios like Memnite to empty your entire hand in a single turn as 6/6s when you get the essence out. Essence of the Wild is a pretty high-cost creature though, so there is also a bunch of ramp in the form of mana dorks like Llanowar Elves and you can get it on turn three with 3 dorks and 3 land. Then if you can get lucky with drawing up to your 3rd turn and have a hand full of cheerios, Elemental Bond and zero drops (and a 1 drop if you put that extra dork out on turn 2) or a Feed the Pack (Sac a 6/6 for 6 more 6/6s), you can easily get a turn 4 or 5 win.

Your opening hand should have at least an Essence of the Wild or Primal Command in it, the rest should be about 3 forests and 3 dorks, but remember to always keep an Essence of the Wild in your hand if you draw more than one in case of boardwipes.
