Looks more like a draft deck, then a constructed deck. It has a lot of 2-ofs. And your mana base is very low for such a deck.

It should look a little more like this.

8 Forest
8 Plains
4 Temple Garden
3 Vitu Ghazi, the City Tree
3 Selesnya Sanctuary

4 Birds of Paradise
4 Watchwolf
4 Selesnya Evangel
4 Selesnya Guildmage
4 Loxodon Heirarch
3 Kodama of the North Tree
2 Yosei, the Morning Star

3 Seed Spark
3 Faith's Fetters
3 Congregation at Dawn
2 Glare of Subdual
1 Overwhelm

Well thank you for the idea on what I should do. umm no tho, this is a constructed deck, I like to run in pairs or triplets, ummm now temple garden, I dont have four of them, and I would like more vitu ghazi lands, but oh well. haha but about everything else I Have 4 of, even the white leyline, I had 3 in there, but naw didnt need it. the deck does run suprisingly well. I wish i owned a Bird. haha. let alone 4. but se basically, the watchwolf basicallly is my defender while i get tokens and land, then I bring out the giant, and thats my defender, and I will either bring out, or chord the verdant force, (which by the way is an AWESOME card) so that each turn i will be getting atleast one token. and about you saying i have not enough mana??? I dont really agree with that, I always get mana flooded on the field, so i think I am running a nice amount of mana.

with only 17 mana i just can not belive that you get mana flooded

He's running 21 lands. Confused

And if you play no mana accel, then 23 lands is the correct amount in your deck, especially if you're playing expensive fatties.

And you definitely should not play Dryad's Caress or Chant of Vitu-Gazi.

If you want to stay on a budget, you should get more Guildmages, another Watchwolf, some kind of mana accel (prolly Llanowar Elves), and try to play as many 4-ofs as you can.
