I've always been a control player in Standard, but with the advent of pseudo-Gaea's Cradle, I decided that midrange/aggro was calling my name as a brewer, and I looked for ways to get a huge number of creatures out on the board. Naturally, Oketra's Monument is a great way to do this, and since green already has good things like Overcome to include, I settled on straight GW as my colors and got brewing.
As you might guess, the sideboard is in flux due to the lack of meta knowledge this far before the format releases, but the maindeck feels incredibly solid.
it is really worth to run Angel of Invention without Gifts? Regal Caracal can do a total of 9/9 for the same amought of mana. I think Uncage the Menagerie is a terrible card, for 5 mana you draw three, but you don't put nothing on the table, one Regal Caracal would put 4 creatures for the same cost. Sunscourge Champion doesn't look like help much, get more vampire with like link looks better, or Anointer Priest.
Are other ways to populate, Sram's Expertise may be the best, because you can use the second part to cast Itilimoc.
Walking Ballista with so much mana from Itlimoc is a good option to removal and enrage. May consider Bellowing Aegisaur with Balista you could do a 5x +1/+1 counter on that army. maybe Priest of the Wakening Sun could help to find the dino.
I would run at least one Lifecrafter's Bestiary with Itlimoc, if you have that many creatures.
The big problem here looks the lack of removal/protection

Here's my list:
4 Oketra's Monument
Creature (25)
1 Oketra the True
2 Sunscourge Champion
4 Legion Conquistador
4 Drover of the Mighty
4 Ripjaw Raptor
4 Angel of Invention
2 Rhonas the Indomitable
2 Ranging Raptors
2 Regal Caracal
4 Growing Rites of Itlimoc
2 Legion's Landing
Land (22)
4 Sunpetal Grove
4 Scattered Groves
7 Forest
7 Plains
Sorcery (3)
3 Uncage the Menagerie
2 Sorcerous Spyglass
2 Sunscourge Champion
2 Manglehorn
3 Ashes of the Abhorrent
3 Shapers' Sanctuary
3 Cast Out
The deck is, at its core, a midrange deck that occasionally just explodes into an out-of-nowhere win. Cards like Uncage the Menagerie and Legion Conquistador give us our card advantage, while Oketra, Rhonas, and the backside of Legion's Landing give us our mana sinks, assuming we haven't drawn an Angel of Invention or an Overcome and gone alpha-strike already.

With so many token generator, why not run Anointed Procession?
Can help to populate. Paladin of the Bloodstained too, but may cost too much.
