I figured that this would be really good for players who are unable to afford or obtain Earthcraft due to being on the Reserve List who are wanting other ways to make infinite Squirrel tokens aside from Ivy Lane Denizen and Scurry Oak. The Modern Horizon sets sort of gave us an out for players having difficulty obtaining Reserve List cards such as Deep Forest Hermit being a more obtainable version of Deranged Hermit.

If that was your intent then you pushed it way too far. This does the entire combo for 2 mana. It makes it only require you to draw one piece because it tutors the Squirrel Nest for you and puts it into play, while also is an untapped creature so you can immediately make your infinite tokens without any extra mana after playing it.
For comparison Ivy Lane + Scurry Oak requires 7 mana when cast fairly and two different creatures to be drawn. This does it all for 2 mana and one card. To keep the same text it should cost at least 5 I think.
Edit: I think it would be completely acceptable at the current cost if you removed the text that puts Squirrel Nest into play. Though I personally prefer squirrels to be 1/1's. 2/2 Squirrels are just not right imo.
The card probably should've just been titled "Magus of the Craft" with the same exact oracle text as Earthcraft that's a 2/2 Human Wizard for 1G.

For what you want to do in cases like this, consider doing something that accomplishes what you want in an even more dynamic way than the previous design (in this case Squirrel Nest); yet preserves some aspect of challenge for yourself.
For example,
Squirrely Genesis
Enchantment
Whenever a land you control is tapped for , you may put a 0/1 green Squirrel creature token onto the battlefield tapped.
You could even go farther and make it 'whenever a basic land', or 'whenever a Forest' specifically.

Create 100 1/1 Green Squirrel tokens.
This card is on many levels weaker than your card. Do you see the problem?
