Man, this is one easy-to-cast cheap fatty in the right deck.

Use it on turn two with green spells with an alternate cost like Manamorphose, Vine Dryad or Skyshroud Cutter.
Use it on turn three with just about any green one-drop, Firewild Borderpost.

Oh, and then there's also Green Sun's Zenith, where you don't have to worry about any other green spells at all.

Could be fun on turn one as well: Cast Skyshroud Cutter and sacrifice it for Metamorphosis, then you can cast Talara's Battalion and something else for up to 3 mana.
(Or you could even just cast a WUBRG creature, although i can barely imagine any of these suiting into a monogreen deck for this narrow combo...maybe Bringer of the Green Dawn)

Manamorphose, Violent Outburst, or Bloodbraid Elf all make it work.

Turn 1: Forest, Llanowar Elves
Turn 2: Forest, Heritage Druid, Nettle Sentinel
Then tap all three elves to play Talara's Battalion, untap your Sentinel and you're still floating 1G with a 2/2 and a 4/3 trampler. If you can get down another 1 drop you could tap those 3 for one of the lords ie. Imperious Perfect. Then it's turn 2 and you have 4 2/2s, a 3/3 and a 5/4 trampler.

Both Gemstone Caverns and Simian Spirit Guide enable first-turn Talara's Battalion - and, if you're playing Legacy, Elvish Spirit Guide is another excellent option.
