Rhonas the Indomitable's combat restriction and activated ability strongly support a stompy-style deck. I'm not trying to dissuade you from building the deck you want, but I do suggest at least considering other indestructible options like Anara, Wolvid Familiar + a partner, Nylea, Keen-Eyed, or Toski, Bearer of Secrets, each of which offers a different dynamic in addition to indestructibility. Neyith of the Dire Hunt can be played as mono-green if you want to lean into the fight angle, and Kogla, the Titan Ape is another potential commander there.

TurboFog can be built in mono-green. Aside from the Fog effects like Moment's Peace, Sunstone, and Tangle, cards like Arboria, Elephant Grass, Silent Arbiter, and Crawlspace restrict attacking options. Orbs of Warding and Witchbane Orb offer more protection. Heroic Intervention should be a given if you have access to one, and there's a good number of instants that grant single-target protection. You're going to want to draw heavily, so look at artifact-based draw, top-deck searching like Commune with the Gods or Vessel of Nascency, and Sylvan Library, Harmonize, and Greater Good.

Green's win conditions are heavily based around creatures and attacking, and that's only gotten more true in recent years. Helix Pinnacle works as an alternate win con for a slower game, and artifact combos are always applicable.

I always use Sunstone to break the color wheel. I will find a spot for Crucible of Worlds

Graven Lore in place of Thassa, God of the Sea

Personal Tutor in place of Spellseeker

Very solid build on a budget and I love the theme! I posted some comments on my Jorn deck page in response to yours. So for here, and focusing on simply card draw and protection, I recommend these cards because they're cheap and have never let me down:

  1. Joint Exploration - its like Growth Spiral and Opt rolled into one
  2. The Cruelty of Gix - because of the new "Read Ahead" mechanic, this thing lets you tutor for any card at the small price of 3 life (typical when you're in the color of Black), and also has graveyard recursion which is what your deck is trying to do.
  3. Diabolic Vision - probably THE best scry/draw card in Dimir colors and runs about $0.50
  4. Expedition Map - tutors for ANY land
  5. Tempt with Discovery - also tutors for ANY land, and usually within a game you'll get +1 or +2 additional lands off this cast
  6. Sunstone - $0.25 card from Ice Age that gives you a Fog effect when you need it
  7. Viridian Revel - great against folks playing treasure-heavy decks, allowing you to draw every time they sac a treasure
  8. Scrying Sheets - a bit out of your budget, being roughly $5-6, but its soooooooo good in Snow decks

Update!

Out: Replicating Ring

In: Sunstone

Replicating Ring is fun, but never really does its thing and there's no proliferation in this deck. Sunstone is a fantastic piece of art by Foglio from Ice Age and could just be janky enough to save our hides a turn or two.

I got one for you.

And no one is playing it. It's not because it's bad either. Sunstone


Ok now I will share a card like what you are looking for.

That card is Relentless Rats this card has been outclassed by Rat Colony

Huge fan of Lands.dec especially in EDH.

I like your straightforward concept but this glass cannon needs a playset or 2 of support cards to streamline your strategy. Stuff like Gamble, Mystical Tutor, Personal Tutor, Muddle the Mixture, Drift of Phantasms, Ring of Three Wishes

Land's Edge #2 incase Seismic Assault has been dealt with.

Otawara, Soaring City much needed removal that doesn't mess up your strategy.

Dust Bowl is incredible with basic lands.

Sunstone convert to snow covered lands and this card alone would grant you real time via green/white Fog tech.

If you were to use every suggestion I just made your land percentage would be 87% which still wipes out a table of 4.

SufferFromEDHD on I scry with my little eye...

This is a cool concept/theme.

Scry tribal with no Mystic Speculation?!

Whenever I see a bunch of basic land I always suggest Dust Bowl. It's useful late game utility.

Since you are mono blue why not bend the color wheel in your favor and utilize Sunstone? Traditionally that is a green or white effect.

Change all the lands to snow-covered swamps and add Sunstone
