So i have always found mono-green kinda boring, it is pretty good in limited, and flavor wise one of my favorites. I definitely can't say i am a green mage however, way too much into casual combo.
So looking at spoiler's i seem to have found quite an underrated card or two:Genesis Hydra, Hornet Nest.
Add in Garruk's Horde it works well with the beast tracker and will let you keep cards in hand so you don't over extend into a board wipe. You may also want Chord of Calling
Must have been pretty tired i forgot Deck Labels,will fix that soon.
Not exactly sure how Garruk's Horde helps against board wipes. Kinda want to keep the surprise so i don't get smacked by a control deck removal, since i do have a few combos here and there. Also chorde of calling is one of the absolutely best green tutors, also why its not in (too much $$$$). U guys can add him in but Genesis Hydra and Tracker/empath work good enough for me.
Just took it around for play testing, Found it surprisingly fun to play.
This deck is all about spicing up the normal Green fatty deck.
I prefer the solid chunk of life gained from sources like Obstinate Baloth/Thragtusk/Pelakka Wurm rather than devotion-based like Nylea's Disciple. The solid chunk of life gain is much better in situations where you're behind on board and have low devotion count. If you're ahead on board then the amount of life you gain wouldn't matter very much anyways. On the other hand, Nylea's Disciple would get a lot better if the curve of the deck was lower, or you had some creatures with crazy amounts of G symbols like Primalcrux/Khalni Hydra. Thragtusk is especially nice to bounce with Roaring Primadox as Thragtusk leaves a 3/3 creature token when it leaves the battlefield.
I had Borderland ranger originally, but switched it to Gatecreeper vine to smooth out my mana acceleration and come out earlier.
Been finding that i get plenty enough mana accelleration. I never keep hands with less than 2 lands anyways, so i might even take out the 1 drop mana dork llanowar Elves.

Main combos: Fierce empath, Mwunvoli Beast Tracker, Genesis Hydra tutors
secoundary combos:
Nylea's Disciple + green creatures equal life and not a bad combat body at all
Karametra's Acolyte + green creatures equal a lot more ramp, and an Ok defensive body
Somberwald Sage = more ramp
Roaring Primadox + ETB creatures ( 2nd chance at life) (some i didn't cover include Gatecreeper vine, Elvish Visionary)
Acidic Slime/ Nessian Wilds Ravager = removal if needed
mono green flicker lol, if u didn't notice it is this deck's biggest ace.
