Mono green is really unable to do burn spells. The closest wizards has come to a burn spell is Ram Through. The old n days had a spell that burned all players

Since you're in green, you have some pretty good options for ramp for two mana. Oketra's Monument, Rhonas's Monument, Invasion of Ixalan  ^Flip and Thought Vessel seem to be the weakest. Three Visits, Nature's Lore, and Skyshroud Claim are all very solid options that are much harder to remove. Selvala, Heart of the Wilds can also make a ton of mana and draw you cards.

Cards that seem weaker:
Wayward Swordtooth: You only run 33 lands, I am not sure how often this is going to trigger. With a lower land count you have a lesser chance of having multiple lands in hand.
Akroma's Will: This may be overkill. A better option may be Return of the Wildspeaker because it can also draw you a lot of cards.
Bite Down and Ram Through: Requires you to have a creature of the board. Something either cheaper or more flexible like Swords to Plowshares or Touch the Spirit Realm can be beneficial.
Boros Charm: Unless you play in a token heavy meta, there may better options like Flawless Maneuver or Tyvar's Stand. Both can protect your commander the turn you get it out for cheap.
Virtue of Strength: This card does say basic land and you do only run 18 in the whole deck. Take a look at Mirari's Wake, or you could run Bala Ged Sanctuary  ^Flip and another ramp spell for basically the same slots.
Kinjalli's Caller, Knight of the Stampede, Marauding Raptor, Otepec Huntmaster, and Atzocan Seer: These cards are definitely thematic, but I'm not sure if they're all better than Delighted Halfling, Birds of Paradise, Avacyn's Pilgrim, Bloom Tender, and Sylvan Caryatid. Especially if you're only casting one big dinosaur a turn. Same for Commune with Dinosaurs < Once Upon a Time

I suggest adding in some protection and removal spells. Perhaps 4xHyena Umbra in place of 2xForced Adaptation and 2xGleam of Authority and 4xRam Through in place of Giant Growth

Nice. I'd throw in a couple Ram Through. That with the Rancor can be a good pair.

If exile control is proving a consistent issue for you, Teferi's Protection might prove a better option than Unbreakable Formation since it will in fact save you from stuff like Sunfall and Farewell.

I used to run Unbreakable Formation in a number of different creature decks on Arena myself, but I've made the switch over to Teferi's given how common exile control is now. I so rarely actually played Unbreakable Formation on my own turn that its 'upside' of counters and Vigilance wasn't really relevant, usually preferring to just save it as a buffer against a wipe. Plus, Teferi's can even protect far more than just your creatures, leaving far less "outs" for an opponent to get you anyway.

You might also look at Get Lost from the newest Ixalan set as it's pretty clearly the best 2-mana removal of any color currently on Arena. I don't see the Ram Throughs being nearly as effective, so that would be a solid swap if you have a couple Rare wildcards.

In any case, +1 for some creative picks and for seeing another Arena player here on TappedOut. Feel free to add me on Arena if you ever want to test decks and/or discuss builds (Add Me: Apollo_Paladin#83413)

Either way good luck!

Nice deck!

Consider Tail Swipe instead of Titanic Brawl for one mana instant speed fight. Ram Through is also quite good

As for other new cards, Bloated Contaminator and Evolving Adaptive are quite interesting, the later being able to get bonus from proliferating both oil and +1/+1 counters, given you manage to get it a +1/+1 counter first, maybe with Snakeskin Veil or Hunger of the Howlpack, I mean, it's food for thought.

I was building a stompy around Syr Faren, the Hengehammer, can finish the game as soon as turn 3.

Quietly building up value and not getting on your opponents' bad side is not something that mono green does well. Because mono green's value lies in boardstate, and board presence always scares the opponent.

Especially if your commander is indestructible with deathtouch, that screams out: "I'M GOING TO FIGHT WITH ALL YOUR CREATURES AND IT WILL COST ME NOTHING!" and the other players at the table will resent you for being unable to build a boardstate themselves.

Even if your plan is just doubling your mana with a "power matters"-theme, as my Rhonas deck had when I played it, and I literally had only one fight spell in the deck, my experience is that laying low is not green's strength. It's the most Timmy color. So be enormous, be dangerous, and own it. Someone looks at you funny? Send a Ghalta, Primal Hunger at their face, and Ram Through their commander for good measure!

If you want to play mono green, embrace the color's strength. Don't try to play it like blue/black, those are green's enemy colors for a reason.
