What would you guys have built? Was my basic land choices correct? Record in tournament 3-1 with the only loss being to a super aggro deck. If you were curious, the Foils were Savage Knuckleblade, Sultai Banner, Bellowing Saddlebrute.
Your Savage Knucklebone sets your colours, and flying crane technique is begging to be splashed. Your fixing thinks you can run black for free. UG looks like your core colours, since that has the early creatures you want to play. Here's the 5cUG draft, last cut 2x Ponyback Brigade
Manabase (8 basics)
G 4+2 sources for / green cards/morphs
U 3+4 sources for / blue cards/morphs
W 5+1 sources for / white cards/morphs
R 3+1 sources for / red cards/morphs
B 6+0 sources for 2/0 black cards/morphs
Our manabase is not ideal, since we'd like to be able to run 5 different basics so Embodiment of Spring can fix every colour.

Looking at your deck... you built a very similar thing, although you went for red as the secondary colour rather than blue. That's quite defensible, since we barely have enough fixing for Embodiment of Spring to be useable. Not running SAvage Punch seems like a mistake, and I'd be hard pressed to leave Avalance Tusker and Ivorytusk Fortress out as well
