Mono-green isn't known for protection spells but it does have Heroic Intervention which is solid, and, if you're really creature-reliant, perhaps Wrap in Vigor, Asceticism, Archetype of Endurance, and Yavimaya Hollow. You do have access to a lot of anti-counterspell cards with Allosaurus Shepherd, Veil of Summer, Dosan the Falling Leaf, as well as land tutors to find Cavern of Souls and Boseiju, Who Shelters All, though obviously these cards are better in decks that build around a single creature type or have powerful instants/sorceries.

Predator_90 I’m sure Finale of Devastation works, but not for this deck because I have no +10 mana targets and if you look closely, Chord of Calling is instant. Another thing, and I had to make sure I was right. Allosaurus Shepherd is not modern legal.

Allosaurus Shepherd would be very strong both as anti-counter and as wincon. Also Finale of Devastation could do Chord's job but also give like +10+10 to your cratures if you manage to reach lot of mana with Titania's.

Hmmm...okay here are my recs I guess:

Allosaurus Shepherd, Destiny Spinner, Vexing Shusher, Pyroblast, Red Elemental Blast, Veil of Summer, Silence, Orim's Chant, Abeyance, Bone Sabres, Conqueror's Flail, Gamble, Worldly Tutor, Enlightened Tutor, Defiler of Vigor, Bloom Tender...I highkey have a lot more, but I'll stop here for now. Let me know how these are sounding to you!

This has got to be one of the most underrated {G} commanders! Have you considered Allosaurus Shepherd, or it's more economically feasible cousin Destiny Spinner? Fauna Shaman should probably join the party as well. If money isn't an object for you (or if your pod is pro-proxy!) Survival of the Fittest is essential here. Some other {G} staples like Veil of Summer, Autumn's Veil, Heroic Intervention, Worldly Tutor, Chord of Calling, Eldritch Evolution, Natural Order, Green Sun's Zenith, Summoner's Pact & Asceticism will make things more consistent and adaptable.

Good luck refining this one, I'm sure it will end up incredibly powerful!

Looks like a lot of fun to play, you've invested quite some money into it. If you want to get even more crazy on that front, Allosaurus Shepherd seems like a fun addition; both as redundancy for Cavern of Souls and as a fun token booster. Though it's hard to find one, Eladamri, Lord of Leaves is rather spectacular too in a deck like this; ticks all the boxes and then some. Yavimaya Hollow is an excellent card to keep your stuff around in case someone tries to be smart. I'd also find a spot for Eternal Witness; not an Elf nor legendary but she's got such fantastic utility ... maybe worth considering. Last but not least, Fauna Shaman; soooo good and can help you find the combo/synergy cards you need. Have fun with the brew.

Profet93: I understand, you're fine!

Fatestitcher is actually one of the newest additions to this deck, which I decided to try out after seeing it pop up in a couple top Mimeo decks. Gotta say, I'm less-than-impressed. While it is nice to get that extra activation, the couple times that I had him on the board, he didn't do much.
Fierce Guardianship is a card I can speak to, as I recently just picked one up but haven't found a spot for it yet. I'm very bad at picking what to swap out. The classic Cavern of Souls is awesome too, just never got around to trying it out.
I do like Allosaurus Shepherd as well, and I feel like he could fill the role of one of my Veils. Flail is another card that I'm not altogether familiar with, but it is interesting.
Conversely, while Skullclamp is a good card by itself, I'm really not feeling it here. Maybe I'm just overlooking the value.

I haven't really done major updates on this deck in a while, but now you have the gears turning.

I'm glad to see some of my suggestions are worth looking into. It's always worth proxying them first before spending the $, particularly with Yavimaya Hollow. I usually comment on decks with the goal to optimize them, I am in no way giving you a hard time for your choices, just wish to understand. Your response was anything but lackluster.

How has Fatesticher been for you? Aside from Fauna + Grimore, are they any other notable targets? Perhaps a Fierce Guardianship might be worth looking into given that you already run slaughter pact + pact of negation. Being able to bluff is strong.

Alternatively, given I am unaware of your meta and how much blue is rampant, Allosaurus Shepherd and Conqueror's Flail might be worth considering along with a Cavern of Souls. These repeatable sources of anti-blue might pull their weight in the right meta.

Another potential consideration is Skullclamp. Although you only have 3 creatures, it could be a deterrent to kill your commander or force their interaction pre-combat.

Some of these ideas are better than others.

Ultimately, I'm excited to see how this deck progresses.
