Groundbreaker
Creature — Elemental
Trample, haste
At the beginning of the end step, sacrifice Groundbreaker.

I've had an almost identical deck for more than 5 years, and it has beaten most of my friend's modern decks.
What pushes it over the top is a set of Collected Company
. It has gotten me double Groundbreaker out of thin air to hit for 12 trample damage on a turn.
The main differences with your deck are that I run 4 Noble Hierarch for a T2 exalted Groundbreaker and to ramp faster to CoCo or generate mana to lvl up hexdrinker; a couple of Old-Growth Troll instead of Steel-leaf champions for more resilience against removal and incidental ramp; 1 Polukranos Reborn
Flip instead of Rhonas (which I used to play but most of the time it wasn't a creature due to removal of other creatures) which threatens a wincon if not removed before you transform it; 2 Beast Within instead of the dismembers to deal with any permanent; 2 Boggart Ram-Gang for more hasty damage and devotion; 1 Treetop Village; and 4 CoCos instead of the Rancors. The rest is the same.
I can attest that hexdrinkers are also all-stars in the deck.

I love mono green stompy and your take on it! Never did get to try out Groundbreaker back when I played. That was back in the Experiment One days before they printed us some better 1 drops. Do you have a sideboard?

Deathrite Shaman comes out quick and starts doing stuff.
Surprised nobody mentioned Maelstrom Archangel yet.
Notion Thief is a less dirty Opposition Agent/Hullbreacher.
Maybe a mono-green OHKO Groundbreaker? I don't know how well that would work, but I'd give it a try.

Hey dude! Gonna try to keep this brief and not go down a brewing rabbit hole lol.
Have you considered extra combat phases? Your Commander's strategy obviously hinges upon you being able to attack with it, so doing it multiple times a turn is the way to go imho.
Although I wouldn't go overboard with it, there are a few worth thinking over such as Aggravated Assault, Combat Celebrant, Breath of Fury (extra good if you're running creatures that want to be sacrificed on your way to drawing cards via your Commander, Cathodion for example), Seize the Day, Savage Beating & World at War.
Creatures that sacrifice themselves could also be great, stuff like Ball Lightning, Groundbreaker & Lightning Skelemental can do a lot of damage. Blood Pet, Goldhound, Reckless Barbarian, Generator Servant, Tinder Wall, Wild Cantor & Basal Thrull draw and ramp you at the same time, which is pretty neat. Eldrazi token generators like Sifter of Skulls, From Beyond & Awakening Zone can help you keep that engine running in longer games. Haywire Mite, Caustic Caterpillar &Cankerbloom draw, control the board and replace their presence on your own board for a great rate.
There are a few value pieces worth thinking about as well, like, Pitiless Plunderer & Korvold, Fae-Cursed King.
Lastly, you need a lot more mana dorks, my guy. As many as possible.
Sorry for being so long-winded! Cheers!

Keep in mind that the Groundbreaker hits Pelt Collector on its way in AND on its way out.

Groumphe is the card for a Ball Lightning and Groundbreaker themed deck! My dream deck would be a flicker deck, but that already exists... My new goal is to make a burst tribal deck filled with temporary permanents.
My challenge is to make a card for your dream deck

Brickhouse, thanks for the comment dude, much appreciated! I was originally running Thud but found it didn't work at all against instant speed removal. Good call with the Raking Claws - worst case it helps you dig. Has it been successful?
I discovered Groundbreaker
a while ago - knew I had to make a deck with it and Ball Lightning! Lightning Skelemental was icing on the cake when it released.

If I recall, Planar Chaos had color-shifting cards as part of a "mechanic" or theme, yes? Take for example, Groundbreaker being the green version of Ball Lightning, Damnation being the black version of Wrath of God and Harmonize being the green version of Concentrate. Additionally there were Slivers, Echo, Suspend and a slurry of Dragons.
M'Kkik, Brood-Waker
Legendary Planeswalker - M'Kkik
+2 Add two mana in any combination of one or more colors. Spend this mana only to cast Sliver spells.
-7 Until end of turn, all Slivers have "Whenever this creature deals combat damage to an opponent, put a loyalty counter on M'Kkik, Brood-Waker."
-15 Each opponent reveals their hand to you. Search each player's library, graveyard and exile zones. Put all Slivers from each of these zones onto the battlefield under your control, then gain control of all other Slivers.
5
So she starts off at 5 and upticks to 7. You could theoretically cast a second M'Kkik, but ideally you'd rather uptick her to 9, then -7 and try to hit her 15. It's a difficult and daunting play, but one that is well worth it.
Make for me an Azorius Dragon who would be seen on Ravnica.
