Neat idea, I love seeing people making Gruul work in Legacy!
I would run two more Utopia Sprawls over Rampant Growth, they aren't all that pricey anymore (ymmv of course). I'd even run a worse Utopia Sprawl like Blighted Burgeoning or Fertile Ground, either has it's own upsides, and both work very well with your Arbor Elf.
I think with x4 Arboreal Grazer you might consider at least a couple lands, Grazer feels awful when you're short of lands. I'm not sure how much you'd need, but 1 or 2 would be helpful IMHO.
Randomly, Gruul got one of the all time great ramp effects back in Ice Age, Orcish Lumberjack is epic ramp, great if you need to hit a Hulk several turns early. You might want something to prevent your Hulk from getting countered, maybe Rhythm of the Wild? The haste is also VERY good with Lumberjack, letting you drop it and tap it for 3 (though you do sacrifice the Forest) right away, dodging removal potentially. I personally love using Orcish Lumberjack with Mwonvuli Acid-Moss, this way you can effectively Sinkhole people in Gruul, and technically you'd have 1 mana left, even on turn 2. Some people don't fear land destruction and will keep a 1 land hand so it can work sometimes fwiw, and the cost is negligible (it's even a ramp spell if you hard cast it without Lumberjack).
How often do you end up with a decent land count? If you find you can actually hit 5 lands in a lot of games, you could throw in Crop Rotation and Temple of the False God x1, if you aren't ready for a Temple yet you can tutor up a Red source I guess, or a Wolf Run. I'd guess if you pull those Rampant Growths Temple x1 isn't worth bothering with. You could always do that trick with x1 Ancient Tomb, but those aren't as cheap!

thnks everyone that post a comment! , i love all the advices, different points of veiw make decks more interestings!, all advices are always welcome.
DreadKhan thnks for all the advices, love your combo with the orcs and the land destroyers, i dont know if i will use it, i would have to change too many cards, but i found Orcish Lumberjack a very interesting card. i was thinking in adding Urban Utopia. i have to think about Treetop Village, i normally feel that playing a land that enter the battlefield tapped may slow me alot, but i can be wrong!

I'm not sure if it's too 'non-Dragon', but I've had good results fiddling with Orcish Lumberjack, especially in a deck with Mwonvuli Acid-Moss, Lumberjack and Acid-Moss gives you access to a true Sinkhole effect (you can even play it on turn 2), and it can technically find a non-Basic Forest fwiw. Technically you only need to tap the Forest and sac it to Lumberjack to play an Acid-Moss, but Lumberjack can also give you a turn 2 Dragon that costs 5 mana, does your meta feature a lot of cheap kill spells? If not I wonder if that'd be worth your while? I don't know for sure if Atarka had Orcish servants, but Orcs live on that plane, so the lumberjack has a tangential connection.
Also, since it's gone down a ton in price, what about Utopia Sprawl? It makes your Forests better, and you can't cast it without a Forest I understand?
Since you're actually in Gruul, I would just run Mountain Valley over Evolving Wilds, this can find a Dual, or if you're desperate it can still dig out a Basic (that you can use the same turn Evolving Wilds would allow you), the only issue is if decks play cards that blow up non-Basics in your meta (most don't).
It's not entirely budget, but Up the Beanstalk is a very strong card if you actually plan to cast those big Dragons, and it replaces itself.
I'm not sure what your meta is like, but if people run Stax stuff that can ruin your day, you can include Dire-Strain Rampage, this sorcery offers you a Harrow effect if you wish, but it can Naturalize something, or Ghost Quarter someone's important land in a pinch. The best part is that it has Flashback. It's not the fastest effect, but I feel like it's certainly good enough for sideboard (especially on a budget), and since it can also just ramp you it might be fine mainboard, ymmv.
It's an ETB tapped land, but Treetop Village is a reasonable attacker if you end up desperate, with your curve it seems plausible that you'd be able to play an ETB tapped land, maybe x2?

This is a sweet deck! You have a pretty cool and unique commander. I was thinking of some cards that might pair well with him.
Here are my suggestions: Perennial Behemoth, Pair o' Dice Lost, Abundance, Boseiju Reaches Skyward Flip, Goblin Anarchomancer, Greenseeker, Groundskeeper, Harrow, Keen Sense, Nissa's Pilgrimage, Orcish Lumberjack, Ruination Rioter, Snake Umbra, You Happen on a Glade.
There isn't a need to upgrade the deck if you are having fun with it though!
Have a good one! :)

Hey friend, consider the following:
Scapeshift, Awaken the Woods, Crop Rotation, Farseek, Three Visits, Nature's Lore, Staff of Titania, Knight of the Reliquary, Hardened Scales, Orcish Lumberjack, Elvish Spirit Guide, Simian Spirit Guide, Tectonic Reformation, Abundance, Burgeoning, Manabond & Rites of Spring.
Sorry for the long list, but they're all pretty good here.

Brian Stacks' Plow Under (1v1)
1 year ago
I have a deck that was doing something a bit similar, it was Gruul mostly so it could use Orcish Lumberjack. That card/deck got a lot of mileage out of Mwonvuli Acid-Moss, this can help you hit Plow Under mana while further denying your opponent a key land. If you use any dual lands that have Basic land types then Acid-Moss can find them, it specifies Forest. Another card that might be funny is Argothian Wurm, it is on the Reserved List but isn't too pricey, it's great if a deck can hate on lands enough.

I neglected to mention any land destruction suggestions, but if speed is essential I'll limit my choices to low-cost spells:
Also, Orcish Lumberjack may or may not be helpful. You don't have many Forests. I think it would be worth playtesting, at least.
And Elvish Reclaimer is repeatable land sac that replenishes while at it.
Okay, I'm done now.
