Mono Green Removal options in Modern?
Modern forum

I am running a creature heavy list and it is mostly Mono Green. The challenge I have is little to no interaction with my opponent. Other than my splashing red for Lightning Bolt or Bonecrusher Giant, it seems like Green is lacking a signature piece of removal. No Bolt, no Fatal Push, no Path to Exile. So what are my options? Are there any out there beyond "this creature fights that creature" spells?
Somthing that is often overlooked is flying hate with things like Windstorm... could be good tech against spirits.

So far, Savage Swipe seems like the best of the bunch in a creature based deck. But, being Sorcery speed limits choices a bit.
Hornet Sting and Gut Shot seem underwhelming. Not sure there is a place for them in the deck when they cannot even kill Goblin Guide.
I think Dismember is rising in my notes because of the lifegain spells I am adding, but still feeling sad that I need to pay 4 life for it. It does hit Eldrazi though.

Ahemm... Beast Within, if you play bigger creatures of course

Beast Within and Dismember are your best options in mono green. The 4 life on Dismember isn’t that bad because a mono green deck SHOULD have board control anyway, so you won’t exactly be desperate for life.
Failing that, a black splash for Fatal Push and Assassin's Trophy are your next best options. The black mana can help take the edge off Dismember too.

Beast Within, Garruk Relentless Flip, maybe Savage Swipe???
Other great 1 cmc options inclue Hornet Sting and Gut Shot.
Not exactly the best of the bunch :/
