Ancient Greenwarden - Landfall is definitely a subtheme in the deck so being able to double those triggers is amazing. The deck isn't running any fetchlands but it is running Thawing Glaciers and Ghost Town so we are able to get landfall triggers each turn.
Ashaya, Soul of the Wild - The deck has a ton of mana dorks but Ashaya makes all nontoken creatures into mana dorks which can go a long way. Not only that but since our nontoken creatures are now lands, they'll survive boardwipes that specify nonland permanents (Planar Cleansing, Cyclonic Rift, etc.) which is definitely a plus.
Scute Swarm - As mentioned earlier, while landfall is not a core aspect of the deck, this is an amazing green card that can get out of hand very quickly, especially since this deck is ramping like crazy. It can get out of hand very quickly.

Allosaurus Shepherd - It makes practially of all of my spells uncounterable as well as being uncounterable itself. The deck doesn't have that many elves (6) with Freyalise being the only other source of elf production. That being said, it's still amazing for a monogreen deck.

Barrier Breach - Being able to exile 3 enchantments is no joke - especially when up against a pillowfort deck and wanting to get through with Polukranos.
Colossification - This is just hilarious in any commander deck. It turns any commander into a one-shot player eliminator. It taps down the creature, but if Polukranos is protected, then next turn it might definitely start eliminating players from the game.
Gemrazer - For just 3 mana you can mutate this under Polukranos to give it trample and reach. Oh, and when it mutates it naturalizes. It's definitely worth testing since Polukranos loves having trample.
The Ozolith - 100% going in the deck. Resetting Polukranos means we lose its +1/+1 counters. With this artifact we can store those counters and then put them back on Polukranos afterwards. Definitely going in the deck.
Titanoth Rex - For just 2 mana we draw a card and give Polukranos a trample counter at instant speed. The combat tricks alone are worth testing this card. It's also an 11/11 with trample if we need to send a message.

Slippery Bogbonder - Is able to put a hexproof counter on Polukranos as well as all other counters on the rest of our creatures which isn't that often, but a hexproof counter is very helpful in protecting Polukranos from spot removal.
Sawtusk Demolisher - Mutating this onto Polukranos makes it a bit bigger while also giving trample. Also, when it mutates, it's a Beast Within. So it's amazing for 4 mana. Definitely worth a slot in the deck.

Can you post your most recent decklist? The one on the front page doesn't have llanowar tribe, or any of the most recent items you list as good cards.
Yes, I do have to get around to updating the main post with the recent changes (I have mentioned what changes I've done to the deck; I just haven't updated it yet). However, the only changes I've made is when I literally post about changes; commenting on a card being good for the deck doesn't mean I included it in the deck. I'll try and update it later on today. Updated.

Ilysian Caryatid - Great in the deck since it will almost always tap for GG. Even if it can't, it'll still tap down for G.
Nyxbloom Ancient - This card might seem winmore in most decks, but not in decks where its commander is a mana sink. Tripling the mana I can produce - are you insane?! Do you know how much Gaea's Cradle is going to give with a field full of mana dorks? Definitely going in the deck!
Nyx Lotus - It might enter the battlefield tapped but it can add a crazy amount of G in this deck just like Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx can.
Shadowspear - This equipment feels made for this deck. It only costs 1 to cast and 2 to equip. It gives a boon plus trample and lifelink. If that weren't enough, you can pay 1 to remove hexproof and indestructible from opponents' creatures so it's a second Bonds of Mortality.

Return of the Wildspeaker - Considering how huge PK can get, this card is definitely worth including. For instant speed we're able to draw a ton of cards at the end of the turn before ours.
Steelbane Hydra - With all the mana the deck produces this can enter the battlefield pretty huge. Additionally, it can have enough +1/+1 counters on it in order to snipe any problematic artifacts or enchantments.
The Great Henge - With just Polukranos out, this costs 2GG. However, if PK had any +1/+1 counters on it, then it'll more than likely just cost GG. Not only is this a mana rock, but it gains us 2 life also when tapping for that mana. The best part is that when a nontoken creature enters the battlefield, it gets a +1/+1 counter and we draw a card. Definitely worth considering.
Witch's Oven - It costs no mana to activate and only 1 to cast. Not only could it be a reliable way to sacrifice Polukranos for the recasting, but it'll give you 2 food tokens everytime you do.

Just posted a deck tech video on the current version I have for those interested in a more audiovisual explanation of the ins and outs of the deck - particularly a 100-card description. The written primer is still a way more indepth explanation of how to run the deck, but at least the video might give a quick summary to those who might be slightly interested in building Polukranos. You can find the video here.

Sanctum of Eternity - Great way to reset monstrosity. It's a Temur Sabertooth effect on a land, which is great since it doesn't really take up a slot in the deck.
Empowered Autogenerator - With Seedborn Muse in play I could potentially be adding a counter on this every turn. It'll definitely produce quite a lot of mana. Definitely worth testing.

With Paradox Engine being banned, it had to be removed from the deck. This is not a big deal since the deck didn't depend on Paradox Engine to win; it simply won the moment it entered the battlefield - just like many other decks it was included in. I swapped it out for Thousand-Year Elixir to at least be able to use mana dorks much more quickly. I feel this is a fair exchange.
EDIT:
Actually, I think Leyline of Abundance might be a better replacement for Paradox Engine in the deck. It makes mana dorks produce even more mana and it also functions as a mana sink.

Unfortunately yes since any damage dealt by a creature with deathtouch is enough to kill the other creature - it doesn't have to be combat damage.
