Andramalech I agree that creatures like Elder Gargaroth are more manageable and reliable to get out to potentially close out the game. Audacity is a nice option card to support and ensure damage carries through to finish quickly.

Have to agree with Balaam__. If it's not broke, don't fix it. I'd think draw power might present an issue so one of my only suggestions would be something like Elder Gargaroth, or alternatively something redundant like Audacity. Any form of draw power for a Mono-Green shell can be the difference between going to a best-of-three, or locking out your round 2 right then and there. Regardless of my musings, I am always giddy to see players sharing Mono-Green. Cheers, and don't forget to upvote your own deck buddy! +1

For Minsc and Boo, don't sleep on the land Gnottvold Slumbermound, it destroys a land (maze of ith, etc) as well as making a creature with trample.

I find that Vigilance is Minsc and Boo's best friend. I swear my life on Questing Beast, Elder Gargaroth, Wilson, Refined Grizzly, and Untamed Kavu. You need to defend him against 3 attack phases every turn, you need vigilance.

Here's my list: https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/minsc-and-boo-and-friends/

wallisface, no, your response is not harsh, but I was erring on the side of caution, since I believe that some creatures today are simply far too powerful (with Elder Gargaroth, Baneslayer Angel, or Phyrexian Obliterator being some key examples, and I shall think of more, later), so I can certianly modify both of these creatures, if you believe that that would improve them.

I have replaced Thought Vessel, Decanter of Endless Water, Chromatic Lantern, and Shared Summons with Steward of Valeron, Faeburrow Elder, Dryad of the Ilysian Grove, and Elder Gargaroth, because this deck has a strong emphasis on creatures, and, while it is unfortunate to have one less tutor effect in this deck, I am certain that the newer cards will better suit this deck's theme, and this deck does still contain a tutor in the form of Chord of Calling, as that card is too awesome to remove from this deck.

I wonder if I should put Elder Gargaroth into this deck, as that card certainly would be an excellent match for the themes of this deck?

That's fair, didn't think about how Elder Gargaroth dodges Fatal Push and Prismatic Ending, and forgot about Goblin Dark-Dwellers recasting things.

CommanderNeyo: ragavan is too easily blocked to guarantee a land destruction spell turn 2. Elder Gargaroth is my beater of choice. drawing cards and/or making 3/3 tokens is plenty of card advantage while not being in Fatal Push or Prismatic Ending range. i only have 20 lands, so i wont be saccing one for Boom / Bust. Fulminator Mage can't be re-cast with Goblin Dark-Dwellers.
