Love the overall concept; big +1 from me!
By FAR the biggest tip I could offer is to increase your land count and lower your mana curve. I like using Salubrious Snail's manabase tool to check adjustments ... currently it shows the deck as "inconsistent", playing spells 0.8 turns late and Silumgar delayed 1.1 turns late, on average. Getting a "strong" manabase and a decent chance of Silumgar on Turn 5 (instead of Turn 8) may be a bridge too far ... but even getting part-way there would be a tremendous boost to the deck.
I know how absolutely difficult it can be to cut cards to do that (especially the huge dragons ... that's why we run these decks after all!) so I always recommend not actually cutting any, but just moving all the candidates to the Sideboard. For example, maybe we want to drop our 12x 6-8 mana Dragons down to 6x. We've got all 12 in our Sideboard and before the game we pick 6 (FWIW, I like doing it randomly) and shuffle them in.
I'll take a deeper look and see if I can come up with some specific suggestions.
Cheers!

I think there’s a fork of this deck where you run that Dark Ritual (4x, actually) you’ve got in the sideboard. There’s more than enough zombies to capitalize on Gempalm Polluter/Gary here already, so opting for a faster hand-to-table path due to more available mana would be the direction I’d lean.

I've test played the deck by itself and 1v1. I've won as early as turn 3 against another player and as late as turn 7 BY ITSELF. It's very inconsistent right now. I may be mulliganing poorly. Still trying to figure that out. My CEDH Green Goblin deck wins every game by turns 4-5 and as early as turn 2 when performing by itself. I need this deck to be that consistent. It may not be possible. Recommendations welcome!
Balaam__ on Mono Green Aggro

All good. Like Andramalech, I’m a big proponent of ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’. If what you’re running now works fine, I’d say stick with it. The Veil of Summer/Autumn's Veil protection suite is a great add though; I run those all the time in mono green builds and they certainly come in handy. Saturn999 was right to suggest it.

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.
windwolf1978 on Mono Green Aggro

Balaam__ I was toying with the idea of bigger creatures like Questing Beast and the sorts, but was worried about hitting the mana needed to get them out, and then worried if they are going to be countered or Terror. I did not want to rely on big creatures to hit the board and survive to win. But I do understand you need some good finishers to seal the deal.

The Venerated Rotpriest plus Artisan of Forms plus copy is a pretty fast and nasty synergy, I can see that running rampant really fast unless the opponent had some mass removal answer.
Since my Ty Lee deck is more focused on legendary copies (and EDH) I don't have any suggestions, but I really like what you've cooked up here.

Andramalech Wow, thanks for such high praise. Honestly I just whipped this together for fun without extensive research, sticking to mono principles around the commander theme. Prolly will be a long time till I can get around to playtesting it.
I'll check out your Shadow Clone Jutsu deck too, sounds very relevant!

At the beginning of each upkeep, you may secretly choose a number.
At the beginning of each end step, if you chose a number this turn, reveal that number. If you lost exactly that much life, gain that much life. Otherwise, you loose life equal to the amount you lost this turn.
If you would loose the game and chose a number this turn, instead reveal that number. If you lost exactly that much life, gain that much life and sacrifice this enchantment.

The first time I saw this deck at a tournament I loved it. It had so many answers and ways to attack the opponent. Playing against it was very tough. This version looks a bit more durable and quicker without the Liliana of the Veil. Though she is a good card. I’m happy to see it’s still out there and hope it continues to grow and flourish.

Fated Firepower looking great as a surprise finisher after blockers are declared. It replaces the damage but the original source is still the origin, so any existing triggers would still happen.
Is there anything else I missed in the last set or two that looks interesting?

There were a couple of ATLA commanders I brewed up, but haven't sat down to write primers for (probably won't). The other two FF commanders that intrigued me were Red XIII, Proud Warrior & Amarant Coral, but figured they would be more fun as 99 pieces for my Szarel deck.
Yeah, I'm really excited for Lorwyn, Andramalech, since I wasn't playing yet when the originals were released. My best friend who is a Jund aficionado is really stoked for the -1/-1 precon, which is a Jund variant hes wanted for a while.

Oops, forgot to mention: Idk how you feel about combos (either accidental or tutored), but whether you want to avoid them or add them, I wanted to mention:
- Basalt Monolith is 2-card infinite colorless with Forensic Gadgeteer.
- Worldwalker Helm can get pretty whacky with Mechanized Production. For example, Urza, Lord High Artificer can use them to get infinite blue mana and then cast every card in the deck. I don't think it can go infinite, but Stridehangar Automaton could quickly get out of hand with Mechanized Production too.
- Masterful Replication, if you want another "Oops, I win" effect with Mechanized Production (in addition to James, Wandering Dad).
- Along those lines, I like Stroke of Genius alongside Triskaidekaphile, just to help it along.
Cheers!

Crow_Umbra I feel the same way. High Perfect Morcant has my attention, but I don't mind the some odd... 10? 10 different final fantasy commander decks I managed to scrape together. Lorwyn is going to be a hoot and a full holler. Can't wait!

I was surprised I ended up brewing 3 FF commanders, Andramalech. Overall their designs were pretty fun. I haven't put together (proxied) either Squall, Gunblade Duelist or The Destined Warrior irl yet. I wasn't as interested in Spiderman or ATLA (ATLA had some fun designs), so I shifted my hobby focuses to disc golf and other stuff down the stretch.
One of my friends is considering brewing up Edea, Possessed Sorceress, which I took a stab at a month or two ago, but knew it was more his cup of tea.
At this point I'm more ready for Lorwyn than anything.

..I believe this deck could actually succeed underneath the guise of being a Stax-focused list. I haven't quite figured out how my musings line up, but it's making the roof of my mouth tingle. Will report back if the list doesn't fizzle. I know you meant for this to be janky and not-as-effective-as-other-stuff... but what if it actually works?
Andramalech on Mono Green Aggro

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

While I'm immediately drawn to the lack of fetchlands (which is more a preference for deck-thinning on my part) I do happen to be super.. and I do mean super.. impressed with how utterly clean this feels. Surgically executed and I believe that unsuspecting players would underestimate Ty Lee, and that would prove fatal. Not just a +1 but a hell yeah, dude! great work.

Looks good. I played against something similar awhile back that used Craterhoof Behemoth to great effect. It’s costly and some mana tinkering might be necessary, but it stomped my lights out at the time and is difficult to deal with if it lands.

I was intrigued by Piper's card when I first saw it, and I'm glad to see her getting some attention! Big +1 from me! And I'd honestly give another if I could, just for using Trailblazer's Boots (card's amazing ... I don't understand why I so rarely see it).
One minor whine (at Wizards, not at the deck): Why is she Mono-U and not Gruul or Temur? Piper without her red coat and green scarf is just weird :-/
I know you don't really need anything more in your Maybeboard, but I feel duty-bound to mention a couple possibles: Rivendell maybe, for a bit more more card selection; or Scene of the Crime, just for the flavor?
VERY much looking forward to watching this deck evolve; cheers!
