Very cool deck! And, even if it wouldn’t have been, you’d still get a +1 just for “jur-ass-kicking”!

You mentioned getting Gishath out fast. That’s usually the problem I have with her too. Sometimes i get a boost from Cryptolith Rite. What has worked for you?

As for Cryptolith Rite and Jiang Yanggu, I will consider them. I might cut Joiner Adept for one of them.

Of the Hydras listed I'd go with Managorger Hydra, Mistcutter Hydra, Savageborn Hydra, Shivan Devastator and Steelbane Hydra. All of these because of the {X} in their casting costs.

However, at this point you may have to choose between doing Hydra tribal or forgetting hydras altogether and put Progenitus in your deck and Jodah, Archmage Eternal in your command zone. Because paying {W}{U}{B}{R}{G} instead of {X}{G} will only result in Hydras without toughness.

While your deck is unbalanced in favor of green, Green is the best color for mana. You can also include in your deck including, but not limited to, Cryptolith Rite and Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter.

As for cuts you have a lot of Ramp/Color fixing. You may want to start there. I'd consider start with any card with with a mana value of 5 or higher.

you could run Ancient Gold Dragon because it can very easily achieve jetmir's max buff with its damage trigger, and because it's a damage trigger double strike would allow you to essentially double the amount it creates (even though it's 7 mana), and Cryptolith Rite to use your tokens as an alternative source of ramp

Sorry, I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking about the color ratio, but when putting together my mana base I figured most things were colorless so didn’t matter too much what color, but the main thing I wanted it for was the Commander’s activated ability, so wanted to make sure all 5 colors were evenly represented. Then I added in Chromatic Lantern, Chromatic Orrery, The World Tree, and Cryptolith Rite as my main mana fixers.

As for the cards you suggested, truthfully I didn’t know about Pia's Revolution until you mentioned it here. While I do think that Sai, Master Thopterist is the more reliable card, only needing itself to work and not relying on opponents avoiding the damage, I don’t like having the extra Thopters not getting much else unless Mirror Entity or Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer are in play. Since I already have a Sarcomite Myr in this deck, I might just work Pia into it. Thanks for letting me know about it!

(Also, that would give me more cause to also add Kuldotha Forgemaster to the deck as well)

Magus of the Candelabra + Chatterfang, Squirrel General + Bootleggers' Stash + Staff of Domination + Cryptolith Rite on battlefield

Tap land for treasure, use treasure to untap lands using magus, use squirrels and staff to untap magus. Untap Staff Repeat

king-saproling on Bruse and Tana Swarm

Bruse & Tana are a great pair. You might like these: Betrothed of Fire, Mantle of Leadership, Hope Against Hope, Born to Drive, Light of Promise, Goldnight Commander, Cathars' Crusade, Skullclamp, Rite of Harmony, Toski, Bearer of Secrets, Cryptolith Rite, Druids' Repository, Aggravated Assault, Purphoros, God of the Forge, Return of the Wildspeaker, Ohran Frostfang

Just a heads up that Moraug doesn't work with Life and Limb + Tana because he stipulates that the land has to enter during your main phase.
