Looking for minor help on mainboard, major help on sideboard

To premise I have used this deck twice at FNM both times going 2/2/0 Any advice would be great but cheaper is better.
My list: Budget Mono Green Agro for FNM
(a lot of stuff in the maybe board is stuff I really like or have been recommended but haven't figured out where in the deck to put it)
Original list I modified: Budget mono green stompy
Thinking of taking out the Ghaltas, Millitants, and Dismembers for 2 Revenge of the Hunted and 4 Narnam Renegade (in which case I would probably run 8 fetches)
Take a look at the maybeboard and maybe you'll see something even better.
Also I could REALLY use help with the sideboard (I'm trash at sideboards)
I'm thinking of splashing black primarily for removal for example Assassin's Trophy
Thanks for your advice TriusMalarky, wallisface, Balaam__, RNR_Gaming, and DBCooper

For the creatures, you have 11 1drops, 13 2drops, and 3 3drops. I would suggest taking out 3 of your 2 drops and putting in more 3 drops. That would leave you with 11, 10, and 6. For your 3 drops I would recommend 4 Steel leaf champions and 2 Old-Growth Trolls. You want to almost always have a 3 drop to play on turn 3 to put max pressure on the opponent. It’s your choice which 2 drop to take out

Thanks for the shoutout TheMountainLion, but I didn’t suggest anything useful. I only seconded the good ideas of someone else.
If you were going to splash for Assassin's Trophy , consider Abrupt Decay as a more budget friendly option. It doesn’t pack quite the same punch as the former, but in a fast paced competitive format like Modern it definitely has its place. I’d definitely be concerned about locking down your mana base if you do splash; that can easily become a point of contention and cost games.
