Ascendant Acolyte - Such a shame this thing doesn't have trample. If PK is big enough, this will enter the battlefield with a ton of +1/+1 counters and then get huge each upkeep. Oh well.
One with the Kami - Can potentially fill the board with a ton of 1/1 spirits when resetting PK via sacrifice. Paying 3G to cast it before then is quite the sneaky move.
Tanuki Transplanter - Can make PK add a ton of G just by attacking. We can then reset him and be able to get it back with enough left over to make it monstrous again. Definitely worth considering.

Boseiju Reaches Skyward - For 4 mana, if it would've put the 2 basic forests onto the battlefield tapped, it would've definitely been considered for the deck. But transforming into a creature with p/t equal to lands isn't enough for that. So much potential, though.
Boseiju, Who Endures - 100% going in the deck. It's monogreen so it doesn't take up a slot in the deck. This one is a no-brainer for sure.
Jugan Defends the Temple - It creates a mana dork when it enters and then puts +1/+1 counters on creatures. However, it then transforms into Remnant of the Rising Star, which is almost like giving each of my creatures monstrous X when they enter the battlefield. While this is an amazing mana sink, it's a bit hefty to use with Polukranos if we're recasting him with a high commander tax.
Kodama of the West Tree - Gives PK trample while it's modified as well as having it ramp us a basic forest when it deals combat damage to an opponent. Definitely worth considering for the deck.
Spinning Wheel Kick - This essentially turns any of our creatures into PK so we don't really need it. It's a cool effect, though. Shame you can't run it in a Chun-Li, Countless Kicks deck.

Cultivator Colossus - With the amount of ramping the deck does this will get insanely huge. Not only that, but when it enters the battlefield we drop a land and then draw a card and potentially continue the process. Since the deck is capable of blinking and bouncing creatures, we can eventually reuse the ability if we wanted to after it whiffed. Definitely worth testing.
Glorious Sunrise - More often than not this'll be used to give our creatures trample in order for PK to get through (plus the extra point of p/t) but it can also be used to have a land tap for triple green (which can be even more with the mana duplication effects) in order to have mana at the ready to make PK monstrous. Or just draw a card if we need it. Definitely worth testing.

Kurbis, Harvest Celebrant - Not only is this an amazing mana sink and potential beater, but it can be used to protect Polukranos when it becomes monstrous since the creatures it deals damage to will also deal damage to it. It'll also protect Polukranos from any type of damage as well, so there's that to consider, too.
Visions of Dominance - It can make Polukranos huge for just 3 mana and can then be flashbacked for 6 mana since Polukranos's mana value is 4. It seems decent enough to test out.

Here's my review for Adventures in the Forgotten Realms: Commander:
Belt of Strength - By default, PK makes the equip cost cost 5 less to equip to it. If it were monstrous, it's going to be way less - and potentially free. So PK is going to get +5/+5 before then adding any p/t from its +1/+1 counters. Definitely worth considering.
Indomitable Might - Being able to get through a blocker at instant speed is insane, especially when you're also gaining +3/+3 for just 4 mana. And it then stays on PK to make blocking it moot.

Druid Class - Gaining 1 life per landfall isn't bad but you'd have to pay 3GG over the course of 2 instances to get an Exploration.
Old Gnawbone - 100% going in the deck. Not only does it itself create 7 treasure tokens, but a huge PK will get a ton more. And these treasures can then further fuel its monstrosity ability when we reset it. Simply busted here.

Tireless Provisioner - The deck's already running Tireless Tracker which synergizes amazingly well with all the land ramp effects while also providing us card draw (albeit via tokens that cost 2 to activate). This one creates treasures which is even better since they're free to crack and can accelerate us even further. 100% going in the deck.
Urza's Saga - Doesn't take up a slot in a mono-colored deck like this one plus it helps get either Sol Ring, Mana Crypt, or Jeweled Lotus for when Polukranos gets to expensive to recast from the command zone.

Fractal Harness - Not only could we get an X/X beater out of it, but when equipped to Polukranos it can make it especially dangerous since it's going to get a ton of +1/+1 counters, which is never a bad thing.
Witch's Clinic - There're plenty of equipment that give lifelink to Polukranos but this one doesn't take up a slot in the deck since it's a land that taps for mana without entering the battlefield tapped.

Here's a list of the most recent changes done to the deck. I'm unsure if I will make space for Wandering Archaic or not, since it's so good in mono-colored decks like this one, but for the moment these were the recent swaps:

Wandering Archaic - Could be used either to get a land and/or instant or sorcery when in a pinch or can be used as a 4/4 for 5 mana that makes counterspells cost 2 more. It can also be used to copy any spell and opponent doesn't care that you do. This can provide a ton of value in a mono-colored deck like this one.
Exponential Growth - Could be an amazing mana sink to ensure Polukranos gets that commander damage win in. Especially useful for when Polukranos has been reset and is just a 5/5.
Master Symmetrist - It's a cheeky way to give Polukranos trample but there are much better cards for that already in the deck.
Verdant Master - 6 mana to get 2 basics onto the battlefield and 2 into your hand doesn't seem that strong unless we're able to play multiple lands from our hand. In that case, it's 6 mana for 4 lands (two of which would be untapped). It might still be too many hoops to jump through, though to be worthwhile.

Apex Devastator is definitely a fun card but I don't think it'd really fit here considering that a lot of the deck is very low on CMC. So you're not going to cascade into anything too crazy.

Fynn, the Fangbearer - With so many equipment in the deck that gives creatures deathtouch, it's very possible to win via poison counters as another wincon. It might be a bit slow, but Fynn himself has deathtouch.
Toski, Bearer of Secrets - A green Coastal Piracy on a body is pretty tempting for this deck. However, this deck doesn't really go wide; it goes tall. That being said, if you do wipe the board with Polukranos, you can swing in with your mana dorks and draw some cards.
Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider - The deck isn't running other effects that double the amount of +1/+1 placed on creatures so it's not that good in this deck.

Court of Bounty - Becoming the monarch is great at drawing a card at the end of the turn but even if not the monarch, you can drop a land during your upkeep. If you are the monarch, you'll be able to drop a creature. The deck doesn't have so many fatties but being able to cheat one early enough can do a lot.
Kodama of the East Tree - Amazing with cheating things from our hand or dropping more lands since playing a land will allow us to drop on from our hand.
Reshape the Earth - Grabs 10 lands that aren't necessarily basic which is amazing. The deck can generate a ton of of mana which will allow casting this very early on. Since players refuse to run mass land destruction spells, you can take over the game very early on thanks to it.
Jeweled Lotus - Not as overhyped as all the naysayers make it out to be, it is very useful here not only because it can get Polukranos out on turn 1, but it can also help afterwards since we're constantly wanting to reset it. So it's useful in the deck throughout the entire match.
Guildless Commons - A bounceland for any deck, especially monocolored ones, it can give a burst of mana after that initial set back similarly to Jungle Basin.
