Inexpensive deck based around the population mechanic. Any thoughts are welcome.

General Game Plan:

T1 - Play land. Not much going on here, unless you sideboard in Beckon Apparition or Dryad Militant.

T2 - Play land. Play Call of the Conclave to gain a 3/3 on turn two, making up for lack of T1 play or set a base up with Intangible Virtue.

T3 - Play land. Play Loxodon Smiter to hold off opponent OR Call of the Conclave + Rancor

T4 - Play land. Use Miming Slime in conjunction with any token and Intangible Virtue/Rancor for high powered token generation OR use Advent of the Wurm, Growing Ranks or Trostani, Selesnya's Voice to put the opponent on their heals.

T5 (and beyond) - Play cards like, Garruk, Primal Hunter, Wake the Reflections , Druid's Deliverance, Rootborn Defenses or Trostani's ability to spam the field with high P/T tokens. With Collective Blessing delivering the killing blow.

Sideboard Explained:

Beckon Apparition - For more aggressive decks or 'from the grave' style decks.

Blind Obedience - Perfect to slow aggressive (haste) decks down.

Dryad Militant - Used against any decks which use graves.

Murder Investigation - Just another way to produce tokens, possibly to be removed from sideboard.

Sundering Growth - Great for populate, but needs a trigger use against Enchantment heavy decks. Possibly even a cheeky mini-combo if used on Rancor if opponent doesnt have enchantments.

Witchbane Orb - Pretty obvious, counter any mill/burn decks.
