I wish I knew how to edit my comments after posting (if even possible), but, if you think about it, you only have 16 non-permanent cards. Primal Surge might still be worth it.

I love this kind of deck. If I might suggest, Primal Surge is a powerhouse in decks like this one

Oops, All Permanents? Sounds like you could use a Primal Surge.

If you're going to go so light on instants/sorceries, I suggest thinking about getting Primal Surge its basically everything you say you want in one spell

The ability is more or less single use, and it depletes your hand. It's not unreasonable to use it to try to win the game that turn, but 1. That comes with the territory of being a high-mana mythic, and 2. It doesn't really win the game by itself. It doesn't grant haste, and it doesn't directly deal damage or mill. If you use it incorrectly, it becomes worse than useless, as you over extend into a board wipe or something, losing both your board and your hand.

Of course, it's easy enough to say "if you play wrong, you're going to lose." Looking at whether the ability is actually overpowered, Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant has an effect comparable to Myojin of Life's Web (which has an option for indestructibility) or Rise of the Dark Realms (a black deck's graveyard can easily be on par with a green deck's hand), and less efficient than Primal Surge (play everything in hand vs. play everything in your deck). So the ability exists in this mana range, trading heavier color weight for a slightly lower cost.

For the mana value/stats ratio, creatures have been generally trending better, especially in green. When Ghalta and Mavren team up, the result is even more mana-efficient. Yargle and Multani has 24 total P/T for just six mana and no restrictions. So Ghalta's mana value/stats ratio is notable, but not extreme or unprecendented.

Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant provides a lot of value for a high cost, and when used intelligently can win the game on the spot. The same can be said for almost every other high-mana mythic rare card, many of which are on the same or higher power level.

Ward of Bones and Primal Surge are not planeswalkers so they can not be run due to the deck Companion Umori, the Collector

Mobilized District is a consideration to run tho.
