You're right. But... you've already got 6 slots currently devoted to spells that require creatures: Blade of the Bloodchief and Stocking the Pantry. To be honest, I was trying to avoid being too specific about what I think you should do and was just responding to your own idea about adding more removal, but now that I've taken a more serious look at your deck, I do have a lot of very specific advice, if you're interested in that, and Longstalk will definitely be a more effective choice if you do decide to follow my recommendations.

My specific advice is to cut Blade of the Bloodchief - you don't have enough creatures and you don't have any vampire and vampires probably aren't the best tribe for counters anyway. Cut Firebending Lesson - it's not that good and doesn't advance your wincon. Move Fire Magic to the side board. Cut Utopia Sprawl and Arbor Elf. If you're going to ramp, you might as well advance your wincon with it. Space in your deck is premium. No room for any card that doesn't do at least 2 things. Cut Basking Broodscale - we can find creatures that get more than one counter for less and do more. Move Runic Armasaur to the sideboard. That opens up 22 slots, if my quick math is correct.

Add 4xGyre Sage, 2xIncubation Druid, 2xRishkar, Peema Renegade, and 1xChanneler Initiate. That's a bit slower of a ramp package, but it's also more robust on theme, and creates at least one repeatable counter source. That takes up nine of the 22 slots, 13 remaining.

Add 2xEvolution Sage - it's a great spell on theme, but you gotta have stuff with counters on it for it to make a difference.

Add 4xPredator Ooze and 2xPrimordial Hydra. Those can be wincon threats on their own and interact with All Will Be One repeatedly. That's another 6 slots used, 5 remaining.

Add 3xLongstalk Brawl. 2 slots remaining

Add 2xInspiring Call.

Cut 4xForest and 2xMountain. Add 1xYavimaya, Cradle of Growth, 1xKarn's Bastion, and 4xCragcrown Pathway

Add 2xScavenging Ooze to the sideboard.

Add 1xThe Ozolith to the sideboard.

Add 1xHeroic Intervention to the sideboard.

Add 2xBeast Within to the sideboard

Add 1xFog to the sideboard

Add Return to Nature to the sideboard.

Final thoughts: The above recommedations, I think, would put your deck into a slightly slower, but more robust configuration with some protections and some draw card built in. It would be missing a way to get things back from the graveyard, which can be very useful in some matchups and also lacks lifegain, which can also be helpful, especially with grindier midrangers such as this. Lifegain is pretty easy - something like Essence Warden or Weather the Storm maybe? Getting stuff out of the graveyard isn't quite as good with green, but still doable. Bala Ged Recovery, perhaps?

Other spells to consider if space can be made for them: Hardened Scales, Bow of Nylea, Song of Freyalise, Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter, Inscription of Abundance

Wanting to test Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter as a substitute for Rishkar, Peema Renegade On one hand, you don't get the immediate effect of 2 +1/+1 counters, but the other hand, we can tap for additional colors for fixing, and if we continue to proliferate the loyalty counters, we can add more than 2 +1/+1 counters over the course of the game.

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 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 instead of 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.

The biggest threat to your deck is Solemnity. I'd recommend some counterspells including, but not limited to, Decisive Denial, Quandrix Command and Voidslime.

If you can't prevent Solemnity from entering the battlefield, Fecundity and Soul Net will turn your 0/0 Fractals into a boon until cards such as Fade into Antiquity and Naturalize can be used. Your commander's static ability will also feed into it.

You may also wish to consider cards that affect or are affected by +1/+1 counters. These include, but not limited to, The Ozolith, Swarm Shambler, Bramblewood Paragon, Herald of Secret Streams, Vigean Graftmage, Experiment Kraj and Plaxcaster Frogling.

Scavenging Ooze can give your deck some much needed graveyard hate.

Have you considered Simic Ascendancy with all these cards creating creatures with +1/+1 counters on them? You can move growth counters from Simic Ascendancy to Paradox Zone by means of Nesting Grounds.

Other lands to consider for the deck are Cave of Temptation, Forge of Heroes, Littjara Mirrorlake, Llanowar Reborn, Novijen, Heart of Progress, Opal Palace, Oran-Rief, the Vastwood, Temple of Mystery and Tyrite Sanctum.

Other cards to consider for your deck are Altered Ego, Bioshift, Clone Legion, Hardened Scales, Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter, Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner, MirrorBox, Repudiate / Replicate and Slippery Bogbonder.

I hope this helps. Thank you for reading me out. Happy Hunting!

Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter is another +1/+1 counter piece that might work well here.

As for making the primer neater, you could separate your paragraphs into categories. It's the icon that looks like four horizontal lines in the bar above the text box. Between the exclamation point circle and the asterisk looking thing. They look like this -

Ajani's Pridemate is arguably my favorite card of all time!
My Multani, Maro-Sorcerer deck usually has Multani at like 20/20 most of the time!

You can rename them and can also add more categories by adding more panel blocks. I'd recommend making a new deck, setting it to private and then using it to test this out. Once you're satisfied with how it looks, you can come back to this deck and update it. If you're nervous about losing anything you have written here, just copy/paste the whole thing onto a text document on your computer. That way you can keep your current primer backed up.

Also, you can use brackets [[]] to designate card names.

Example - Nicol Bolas, Lightning Bolt, Brainstorm

mx439 on Torens's Onslaught

In:

Sakura-Tribe Elder, Tireless Provisioner, Shanna, Sisay's Legacy, Yasharn, Implacable Earth, Abundant Harvest, Gilded Goose, Lotus Cobra, Scale Up.

Out:

Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter, Armorcraft Judge, Resplendent Marshal, Kyler, Sigardian Emissary, Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider, Enduring Scalelord, Hamza, Guardian of Arashin, Sigarda's Summons.

The +1/+1 counter theme mixed with the token theme looks good on paper but I think it's bad in practice. Although I haven't played this against people yet, doing shuffle and hand tests felt clunky and some cards wouldn't have much value when it came time to play them. So I took much of the +1/+1 counter theme out and replaced it with ramp (or cards that draw me lands) and a few threatening cards that are just cheaper but possibly better.

Soulus101 on Zaxara, Exemplary Hydras

I was shocked at how powerful Zaxara can be. Built the deck as a laugh, played it once, then put it away because it was so far above my playgroup's power level.

As you're playing leyline, consider Rishkar, Peema Renegade or Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter to turn all of your hydras into dorks. Open Into Wonder is surprisingly good, it's a win-con at best. You may also want to look at some of the cards from Quandrix precon (C21), as there's a fair bit of synergy between the decks.
