That card definitely makes Cryptolith Rite worth a second look and possibly obtain a slot in the deck. If it's cheap ($-wise), it will 100% go in the Budget Build along with Cryptolith Rite. In fact, you can even plug that card in as part of the infinite mana combo with Temur Sabertooth. Just bounce a cheap mana dork like Fyndhorn Elves and then cast it to untap all your nonlands. Woooo!

Some sweet tech that I discovered with Remembrance is Spy Kit. When a creature equipped with Spy Kit dies, Remembrance will essentially tutor for any nonlegendary creature in your deck.

Yeah, the grouphug effects I think he used so that they were more likely to remain in play. The more-casual-less-cutthroat seemed very intentional. I may try them myself someday. There are only a few decks I can think of in my metas that can take advantage of the extra mana because they have a mana sink -- half of those decks are mine anyway. Otherwise it seems to me a deck is usually limited in how well it can use that extra mana by how well it draws cards.
I still don't trust giving aid to my opponents unless the deck is designed to capitalize on it.
Sounds like a good theme. That would be even more hilarious in WGR with Sneak Attack and/or copying it with Feldon before it's shuffle trigger resolves. Kiki-Jiki wants in on this action, too. Crap, I think I just figured out what I want to do with Gahiji.
Damn, that's actually a pretty good idea. Basically any deck that's GWX would make good use of Remembrance. Maybe I can do something with it with Saskia the Unyielding. I'll probably add some of that tech along with populate. Let the brewing begin!
I was considering including Yeva, which makes Nightshade Peddler more useful. Another deathtouch source I considered is Wasteland Viper since there are only a handful of cards that could stop it.
I used to run Yeva, Nature's Herald because combined with Seedborn Muse and all the mana I generate things would get ridiculous. However, I'm already winning during my turn with all the mana so I pretty much dropped Yeva. Also, running Hall of Gemstone and City of Solitude made Yeva a dead draw most of the time. That being said, since you're not planning on using Hall of Gemstone, you can add Conqueror's Flail in order to have a one-sided City of Solitude effect. That way you can make the most of Yeva.
My first build of Omnath2 included Warstorm Surge, Pandemonium, and Where Ancients Tread. One game I was 1v1 against Kaalia without a tone of ramp and had cast Warstorm Surge on 6 mana. Then cast Omnath next turn with 7 mana. Turn after that I cast In the Web of War, played Ghost Quarter, destroyed a tapped mountain to get another basic, cast Restore with my last two mana to bring back Ghost Quarter and destroyed a basic to get a basic again. Other times Perilous Forays made this way easier. But I didn't like it being a brutal burn deck. Then when I rebuilt to remove those a friend went all out on ramping lands and making tokens but encountered 3 wraths and the deck totally ran out of steam. So if I rebuild it again there'll be more stuff like Zendikar's Roil, Titania, Protector of Argoth, and Rite of the Raging Storm. Land sacrifice will become an added mechanic as well as recycling the graveyard into the library so it doesn't run out of steam and can keep up a good number of landfall triggers.
That's an Omnath v2.0 deck. That pretty much what I wanted to go with. Since I'm planning on building Saskia, maybe I'll make a hodgepodge of all these ideas I have in mind. Good thing we finally got some 4-colored commanders.

I got inspired for my PK build from a Magic buddy who played it as commander of an elves.dec. He had as many infinite mana combos as possible. However, since it was a one-trick pony, it was very easy to disrupt. When I built my take on it, I wanted to be able to circumvent only going monstrous once. Yet, I also didn't want to have a one-trick pony. Oh, and I wanted to avoid grouphug effects. Once players get a whiff of what you're going to do, allowing them to double their mana as well means that it'll be easier for them to take you out or win. So all my mana abilities are one-sided.
Omnath v2.0 is another general I'd like to build with some epic drawing and ramping. But I have so many decks already, I want to try to build decks with unique tech or fun jank. In this case, Polukranos is a general that I hardly see anyone play. People also underestimate it. I mean, they expect blowout plays because it's monoG, but it is an unassuming general. Yet, combined with deathtouch, it can very easily wipe the board and win in the same turn.

Your build is pretty similar to mine. Of course, it's not as cutthroat, but it appears to get the job done. (By the way, Polukranos appears twice in your decklist.)
I also like that you include Undiscovered Paradise (you should also try and find a slot for Ghost Town). Is Scavenging Ooze a meta call? I feel that Worldspine Wurm is a bit win more. You can probably swap that out for a better card that fits the main strategy of the deck.

I hope my thread can continue to serve as a guide to those looking into this commander, these strategies, or looking for something different in monoG. I love this deck so I will definitely continue to work on it as more magic sets and new cards continue to come out.
Thanks to all those who've had any kind of interest and input in my thread!

Massive aesthetic update.
It should now be neat on any size screen (large monitor, laptop screen, and smartphone).
As far as testing goes, I'm not too sold on what I'm doing with in the Budget Build. Hopefully there's more support for the mechanic with Æther Revolt (at least in a sense that's beneficial to this deck). I'm currently thinking of other cards that could fill in those slots should I choose to remove Architect of the Untamed and Decoction Module.

Added some changes thanks to Conspiracy 2. The monarch mechanic has been too fun to pass up - especially when Regal Behemoth makes my lands produce more mana when I'm the monarch.

At some point, I'll have to try this deck out locally, as it is right up my alley. So thank you for posting it.
Seedguide Ash never fails me in my monogreen builds, beating, blocking, or ramping.
Cheers!
Thanks! When you try this deck locally don't be too surprised when you see it win out of nowhere or if people don't take it seriously at first. When they do, hopefully it'll already be too late for them, lol.

Kaladesh brought a couple of goodies like Architect of the Untamed, Nissa, Vital Force, and Nissa, Nature's Artisan. Nissa, Vital Force's emblem is just ridiculous here. I like how Nissa, Nature's Artisan is not meant to be game-breaking but this deck produces so much mana, she's easy to cast. Her +3 ability gives a lot of counters and she can eventually ultimate relatively quickly. That effect is a great one for when I have a bunch of creatures and want to enter that red zone. Architect of the Untamed fits great with the landfall theme. Unfortunately, until Aether Revolt comes out I won't know what other energy cards I could add here, but for the moment, I could easily make 6/6 tokens just by having lands enter the battlefield. It's not as impacting as Rampaging Baloths, but it's still something to consider.

With the Conspiracy 2 spoilers finally completed, two cards call to my attention: Throne of the High City and Regal Behemoth. Regal Behemoth can potentially allow my to continue doubling the mana output of my lands as long as I'm the monarch, which allows me to draw a card at the end of my turn. Throne of the High City is a colorless land source but it can make me the monarch without entering the battlefield tapped. I may end up adding only Regal Behemoth but at least the throne tickled my fancy.

At least with Scavenging Ooze you're able to tutor for it with Woodland Bellower. As for Worldspine Wurm, if you want to place it into a deck, I suggest putting it into a deck that also runs W. I'm currently brewing a Karametra, God of Harvests that's all about ramping and wrathing. All the creatures drop tokens upon death. Yet, I can get them back into my hand with Remembrance + Mistveil Plains, which is some sweet tech in and of itself. The good thing about Worldspine Wurm is that it works with Remembrance without Mistveil Plains.

Eldritch Evolution to Polukranos into Woodland Bellower fetching Riftsweeper to recycle Eldritch Evolution is some sweet tech.
