Fires of Yavimaya has always been a favorite card of mine. Naturally, I wanted to fit it into this format, where I can get away with playing pet cards. Here's a rough list I cobbled together.
Creatures
x 1 Flametongue Kavu
x 4 Imperiosaur
x 4 Blastoderm
x 4 Arbor Elf
x 4 Kird Ape
x 4 Wild Nacatl
x 4 Sakura-Tribe Scout
x 4 Horned Kavu
x 4 Fire Imp
Spells
x 4 Fires of Yavimaya
x 4 Arc Lightning
Lands
x 4 Terramorphic Expanse
x 4 Evolving Wilds
x 1 Plains
x 7 Forest
x 6 Mountain
Some thoughts:
Imperiosaur was a constraint in design, which is why I went with Sakura-Tribe Scout and Arbor Elf over more common mana elves. I think a 5/5 for 2GG is good enough to work around though.
Horned Kavu gives good value on Blastoderm, Flametongue Kavu, and Fire Imps.
Some other things I considered were the Jund and Naya Hack/Hushblades from Conflux or whatever. They didn't end up making the cut, but could be worth consideration in revisions.
