Frontier Siege is a cheap bit that will get you 4 each of your turns that could come in handy.

Here are the budget version of the great green finisher Craterhooh. End-Raze Forerunners , Decimator of the Provinces , and Overwhelming Stampede

Cultivate , Rampant Growth , Explosive Vegetation , and Grow from the Ashes are all good ramp spells for budget.

Shamanic Revelation and Harmonize are good for card draw.

Bellowing Tanglewurm is an amazing all star that people don't use enough sometimes making your board unblock able against non green opponents.

Terastodon is great for taking out utility lands as well as artifacts/enchantments.

Wolfbriar Elemental or Howl of the Night Pack is just an easy way to give yourself a massive board of creatures that can run over your opponents next turn if not answered.

Crashing Drawbridge is fantastic to give your creatures haste so you don't need to wait to go for that swing.

UPDATE

-1 Swords to Plowshares +1 Path to Exile

This change is minimal but I have been facing many ramp decks recently and the lifegain from Swords to Plowshares has been more relevant than I like.

-1 Sacred Mesa +1 Cathars' Crusade

Sacred Mesa can be a powerhouse but as the commander format continues to speed up it never seems to do enough when I get it into play. I have replaced it with a card that should have been in my deck years ago.

-1 Wolfbriar Elemental +1 Tooth and Nail

I can see Wolfbriar Elemental finding its way back in the deck if it becomes more focussed on generating large amounts of green mana. However, for now it is the casualty of Tooth and Nail which makes this deck more consistent and allows wins on the spot by grabbing Craterhoof Behemoth & Avenger of Zendikar

-1 Fresh Meat +1 Qasali Pridemage

The pridemage is easily tutorable removal in a deck with limited interaction. I found myself holding mana up for Fresh Meat that often would go unused when the wrath I was playing around never came. This change helps improve one of the decks overall goals of being more proactive.

-1 Llanowar Elves +1 Concordant Crossroads

I hate to see llanowar go but he's low impact and Concordant Crossroads is the opposite, allowing the decks combos to go off immediately and win before opponents have a chance to react. It is to be saved only for winning the game as it also gives your opponents haste.

Suns_Champion on Wait for the kicker - Hallar, the Firefletcher

Okay buddy here we go!

I think we need to fix a lot of things here. Ramp is an easy fix, we'll get some more instant/sorceries that get lands because they are safest. Then we'll work on getting more counters on Hallar in more efficient ways. We'll also swap out some of your kicker spells for other kicker spells that do better things.

Cards to look at:

• Snake Umbra It's protection and draw
• Ordeal of Nylea Counters and ramp
• Wolfbriar Elemental an "eh" kicker but lots of tokens if you get the mana
• Vigor awesome against Neheb and Torbran
• Verduran Emissary kicker and removal
• Thicket Elemental kicker and free creature, but it costs a lot so maybe not
• Pir, Imaginative Rascal another hardened scales
• Mold Shambler kicker and removal (better than Thicket Elemental)
• Citanul Woodreaders kicker and draw (better than Thicket Elemental)
• Rishkar's Expertise draw and free spell
• Greater Good is good for drawing cards in the event a board wipe or removal happens. Yeah you have to discard 3 but who cares when you're hopefully drawing 8+ by sacking Hallar
• Return of the Wildspeaker another draw or a buff
• Hunter's Insight Since Hallar has trample you'll definitely get cards, but this can be 3 mana draw 8+ if he's unblocked
• Canopy Surge cheap kicker that also hits players so you can bring them down lower
• Chandra's Ignition boardwipe/damage players
• Breath of Darigaaz cheap kicker that also jits players
• Quest for Pure Flame cheap damage doubler to help you close a game. One Hallar activation puts 3 counters on it.
• Hour of Devastation solid boardwipe that hopefully won't kill Hallar
• Tectonic Reformation For cycling lands
• Solidarity of Heroes cheap kicker that doubles counters
• Heroic Intervention protection
• Savage Offensive cheap kicker that's a combat trick sorta
• Blade of the Bloodchief might be good with Elenda and Teysa sacking all those creatures.
• Primal Vigor double counters
• Llanowar Reborn easy +1 at the cost of it coming in tapped, great in opening hand
• Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter mana and +1s
• Rishkar, Peema Renegade mana and +1s
• Forgotten Ancient more counters
• Farseek 2 mana ramp
• Sakura-Tribe Elder 2 mana ramp
• Rampant Growth 2 mana ramp
• Nature's Lore 2 mana ramp
• Kodama's Reach 3 mana ramp and guaranteed land drop
• Cultivate 3 mana ramp and guaranteed land drop
• Explore 2 mana ramp and draw

Cards to maybe cut

• Azusa, Lost but Seeking only good early game or if you're drawing a ton of cards, replace with any 2 mana ramp card
• Elvish Visionary replace with Explore
• Grand Warlord Radha Looking to go lower on creatures, replace with 2 mana ramp spell
• Grunn, the Lonely King replace with cheaper kicker or at least a kicker that draws cards or is removal
• Loyal Guardian replace with better +1 counter option
• Rummaging Goblin Replace with better draw
• Savage Ventmaw 2 mana ramp spell
• Servant of the Scale replace with better +1 counter
• Skizzik replace with cheaper kicker or at least a kicker that draws cards or is removal
• Untamed Kavu replace with cheaper kicker or at least a kicker that draws cards or is removal
• Fog You know I don't like these but I know you like them. I'd replace with Heroic Intervention
• Magmatic Insight replace with Tectonic reformation
• Expedite replace with draw spell
• Darksteel Ingot 2 mana ramp
• Gruul Locket 2 mana ramp
• Gruul Cluestone 2 mana ramp
• Repercussion is way, waaaaaaaaaaaay to risky now with Neheb AND torbran. replace with anything really
• Forced Adaptation Replace with better +1 or doubler
• Radha, Heir to Keld replace with 2 mana ramp spell

So with all that I hope you're mana will be more consistant and your draw will be more powerful, then you'll be able to dump more counters on Hallar and snipe some wins. If not, your kicker spells will have more impact because they'll draw or remove or ramp. Focus on the 2cmc ramp cards, then swap out the kicker spells, then get those draw cards in there.

Here's a Deck you can also look at

TangoWithTojo on Kresh, the Bloodbraided EDH

I have a lot of recommendations for you. These may be pricey so I apologize if they're out of your price range but here you go:

Cards To Add Show

- Definitely add in Grave Pact or Dictate of Erebos . Every time you devour, all opponents will have to sacrifice creatures equal to the number of creatures you devoured; really powerful synergy.

• Add Reyhan, Last of the Abzan . If you can put +1/+1 counters on your creatures, your devourer will get HUGE real fast! Gets crazy too if you eat everything with Mycoloth and all those extra +1/+1 counters go to him.

• Add Triumph of the Hordes . This cards a no brainer for token swarms and huge powerful armies. Remember, it only takes 10 infect to kill someone.

• Add Moldervine Reclamation . Just a simple life gain/card draw engine for your devourers.

• Add Doubling Season , Primal Vigor , and/or Parallel Lives . They'll really help ramp up your token production.

• Add Reassembling Skeleton and Gutterbones . They provide an infinitely recurrable sac outlet for Devour.

Cards To Swap Show

- Replace Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin with Krenko, Mob Boss . He's slightly more expensive but he's easier to keep alive because you don't have to attack every turn, possibly killing him. And he exponentially adds Goblins every turn.

• Replace From Beyond with Awakening Zone . Its 1 mana cheaper and does the same thing. The search for an Eldrazi doesn't seem to be that important for your deck either so should be an good swap.

• Replace Thorn-Thrash Viashino with Bloodspore Thrinax . Viashino doesn't provide any positive effects for devouring. Bloodspore Thrinax on the otherhand can push a token deck into an absurd board state.

• Replace Mother Bear with Jade Mage . Mother Bear is situational and requires her to be in the graveyard prior to using her. And the value isn't all that great. With Jade Mage you can use all of your mana every turn to do at least something.

• Replace Emrakul's Hatcher with Tendershoot Dryad . Emrakul isn't that great for your token production. Tendershoot on the other hand can buff all of your saprolings and in a 4 player game, it'll produce 3 tokens by the time it comes back to you.

• Replace Fervor with Ogre Battledriver . Costs slightly more but you can inflict more damage with Battledriver on the battlefield.

• Replace Wolfbriar Elemental with Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest . For roughly the same mana cost, you get way more value overall.

• Replace Tilonalli's Skinshifter with Mayhem Devil . Mayhem Devil's just simply more valuable to have on the board than Skinshifter.

• Replace Algae Gharial with Poison-Tip Archer . You won't get much value out of Gharial. Poison-Tip Archer on the other hand can be lethal if kept on the board. It's basically a stronger Mayhem Devil .

• Replace Snake Umbra with Fecundity . You'll draw waaaay more with Fecundity and its not attached to a creature, therefore harder to remove. Costs exactly the same too.

• Replace Chancellor of the Forge with Dragon Broodmother . Not only does Broodmother produce tokens EVERY upkeep but the tokens themselves have Devour 2. Its also 1 mana cheaper to cast.

• Replace Strangleroot Geist with Zulaport Cutthroat . Strangleroot provides barely any value for you while Zulaport is another Poison-Tip Archer but also provides life gain.

• Replace Satyr Wayfinder with Sakura-Tribe Elder . This accomplishes exactly the same thing without milling yourself.

• Replace Whisperer of the Wilds with Incubation Druid . Not only can you Adapt Incubation Druid to get +1/+1 counters but she'll produce 3 mana of any color you need.

Cards to Cut Show

Sylvan Offering , Cartouche of Strength , Blossoming Defense . These don't have very much impact in your deck, if any at all and can easily be replaced for better options.

Mana Rocks Show

As of right now you don't have much. Sol Ring is the big one you got. Highly recommend adding in at least 3-4 of these:

Wayfarer's Bauble , Arcane Signet , Chromatic Lantern , Commander's Sphere , Darksteel Ingot , Thran Dynamo , Worn Powerstone , Fellwar Stone , Golgari Signet , Gruul Signet , Rakdos Signet , Talisman of Impulse , Talisman of Indulgence , Talisman of Resilience , Heraldic Banner

Lands Show

Lastly, remove 4 lands. I'd recommend cutting 2 forests and 2 mountains. 36 lands is the happy medium in EDH. Though your Avg. CMC is pretty low so you could probably reduce it down to as low as 32-34 because you have a lot of ramp. Anyway, once you add in the splash of black for Kresh the Bloodbraided , you'll need to add about 6-7 swamps or just lands that produce black. You'll need slightly more forests and mountains over swamps. Lands are the most expensive part of most decks so if you really like this deck, here's some lands I'd recommend for this style deck. They are expensive though:

Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth , Fabled Passage , Castle Embereth , Dwarven Mine , Bojuka Bog , Grim Backwoods , Phyrexian Tower , Kessig Wolf Run , Volrath's Stronghold , Overgrown Tomb , Stomping Ground , Woodland Cemetery , Blood Crypt , Dragonskull Summit , Command Tower , Savage Lands , Rootbound Crag , Rakdos Carnarium , Gruul Turf , Golgari Rot Farm
