Birds or arbor elf since you want a dork t1. And I think yøū have more than enough removal with revenge and prey upon, tracker is too slow.

I like {champion of lamboldt} at the 3 slot vs ooze but it's preference really. I played with 4 silverhearts in mine and it worked out well.

Ooze smashes people so hard... I don't think I could drop him. I'll try without the trackers tho.

Cause I am trying to smash their face, not their artifacts and crap

And a 2/2 with death touch that destroys there lands and stuff works great to smash their face too.

Except a 2/2 for {3}{G}{G} isnt efficient enuf for this fast deck

Acidic slime is used for defense more than anything. Like in wolf ramp run, it prevents opponent from always attacking with primetime. I'd say, if you're running green suns zenith, I'd run 1.

Only thing that I could offer,

I'd say try the Green Sun's Zenith.....even if you can only play with it for a couple months.  Once this deck loses tempo...IE late game it just stinks.  The chance to play a creature, literally any creature is awesome.  If you do run Green Suns (3) I'd play with one slime for artifact removal. It makes you a little more balanced against a variety of opponents is my logic.

Also....Birds of paradise over Arbor elf.  Silverheart / Revenge of the hunted on Birds is a much better play since he's got flying.

-4 Arbor Elf
-4 Predator Ooze

+ 4 Birds of Paradise
+3 Green Sun's Zenith
+1 Acidic Slime

At least try it out and let me know what you think.

{predator ooze} smashes people so hard though!
It also works especially well with {Prey Upon}

I played against a deck similar to this with 4 {sheltering word} and it was very effective. I would say try -1 {predator ooze -1 {strangle root Geist} and -1 {increasing savagery}. It's so good. Think about it, if silver heart is paired and someone tries to remove him it's 2 mana to hex proof AND gain 8 life!

I think you should take out birds as t can't attack here wihout Rancor  and Llanowar Elves would be better for that reason.

I think the birds are a must. Just due to {revenge of the haunted}   Nothing beats a bop turning into a massive two turn clock flyer.
On the topic of mana dorks. How's {arbor elf} working for you? 
maybe {bond beetle} in replace to start swinging faster.

If you are still considering this in pre rotation (I would, I love green) maybe try a couple of {primeval titans} and my favorite tool to go with him and his best buddy dungrove. The {strata scythe}
I love whacking one (or two) on my llanowar elves or big prime for some crazy swing action. And then you also have another meaty target for prey upon removals too :)

Mah {prime time} is too rich for my blood

Any other land pullers will work fine. It's just his is reusable over and over.
