A basic wall deck to demonstrate the concept. It's great for starters because the mechanics are simple, it's fairly competitive, and inexpensive (I purposely chose cards under $1). I've included lots of options in the maybeboard to boost competitiveness.

You start things off with a nonstop deployment of walls and unpleasant defenders (Hornet Nest always reminds me of killer Asian giant hornets). Some defenders give you card-draw advantage, others give you mana advantage, others give you token-creature advantage.

Walls are naturally immune to burn but won't protect you from direct attacks so don't be afraid to leverage the lifegain ability of Huatli, the Sun's Heart as often as possible. Your natural instinct is to not have planeswalkers at 1 health but you have so many defenders that benefit from drawing out attacks and you have so many copies of Huatli, the Sun's Heart in your deck that you should always take advantage of it.

Things quickly shift in your favor with the introduction of Assault Formation. With your defenders now able to attack, Garruk's Uprising helps end the game in true mono-green stompy fashion :)

Biggest weaknesses:

• Combo -- green has limited spot removal but some notable mentions are: Beast Within, Kenrith's Transformation, Lignify, and Ulvenwald Tracker.
• Counterspell -- fortunately, there's a lot of blue hate in green with sideboard options like Choke, Leyline of Lifeforce, Veil of Summer, Destiny Spinner, Gaea's Herald, Autumn's Veil, Vexing Shusher, Shifting Ceratops, and Carnage Tyrant.
• Creatureless -- green has lots of sideboard artifact / enchantment hate with Boseiju, Who Endures, Caustic Caterpillar, Steelbane Hydra, Nature's Claim, Gleeful Sabotage, Broken Bond, Natural State, Acidic Slime, and Naturalize
• Lifelink -- usually it comes down to sheer endurance. Adding Tree of Redemption would be a good option if you can afford it.
