Quick Answer
Mono-green Commander is about ramp and overwhelming force. Green produces more mana than any other colour, draws cards through creature power (Garruk's Packleader, Elemental Bond), and plays the biggest creatures in the format. The weakness is interaction. green has limited removal outside of damage-based effects. See current prices at /cards/mtg.

The weakness is interaction. green has limited removal outside of damage-based effects.
What Mono-Green Does Best
Mana acceleration that outpaces every other colour. Land fetching (Cultivate, Kodama's Reach, Skyshroud Claim) lets green play powerful spells multiple turns ahead of schedule. Green also has the best creature tutors (Green Sun's Zenith, Chord of Calling) and the largest individual creatures in the game.
Top Mono-Green Commanders
Selvala, Heart of the Wilds
Selvala generates mana equal to the greatest power among all creatures in play whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control. In a deck full of large creatures, she produces enormous mana advantages very quickly.
Why it works: scales with creature power, generates more mana than almost any other commander, enables infinite combos. Current AU price: approximately AU$15 to AU$30 depending on printing.
Ezuri, Renegade Leader
An Elf tribal commander that pumps all Elves for 3GG. With an Elf board generating enormous mana, Ezuri's pump ability becomes repeatedly castable and wins games through combat damage in one swing.
Current AU price: approximately AU$3 to AU$8. Strong budget option.
Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger
Vorinclex doubles your mana while halving your opponents' mana regeneration. Immediately one of the most disruptive permanents in Commander.
Current AU price: varies by printing from AU$10 to AU$30+.
Ghalta, Primal Hunger
A 12/12 with trample that costs as little as 2GG if you control creatures with enough combined power. Ghalta is a finisher that can appear as early as turn 4 in the right deck.
Current AU price: approximately AU$4 to AU$12.
Azusa, Lost but Seeking
Play up to two additional lands per turn. In a deck full of extra land sources (Exploration, Oracle of Mul Daya), Azusa ramps faster than any other commander and enables massive turns.
Current AU price: approximately AU$10 to AU$25.

More Mono-Green Commanders Worth Considering
Selvala, Heart of the Wilds
Whenever a creature enters the battlefield, its controller may draw a card if it has the highest power among creatures on the battlefield. Selvala also taps to add green mana equal to the greatest power among creatures you control. Both effects scale with large creatures, making her one of the best mono-green value generators at any table.
Current AU price: approximately AU$4 to AU$10.
Yeva, Nature's Herald
All Creature spells you cast from your hand may be cast as though they had Flash. Converts your entire creature suite into instant-speed threats, letting you hold mana for interaction and deploy at end of turn.
Current AU price: approximately AU$3 to AU$8.
Saryth, the Viper's Fang
Untapped Creatures you control have Deathtouch. Tapped Creatures you control have Hexproof. Makes your aggressive threats lethal to block and protects your tapped threats from removal after attacking. Works in a tap-heavy strategy (Selvala untap effects, Gaea's Cradle).
Current AU price: approximately AU$3 to AU$8.
Gargos, Vicious Watcher
Hydra tribal commander. Whenever you cast a Hydra spell, Gargos fights a creature your opponent controls. Whenever Gargos becomes the target of a spell, counter that spell. A self-protecting Hydra synergy commander.
Current AU price: approximately AU$1 to AU$4. Extremely budget-friendly.
Mono-Green Upgrade Path
Priority 1. Ramp: Green ramps better than any colour. Cultivate, Kodama's Reach (AU$1 to AU$3 each), Selvala, Explorer Returned (AU$5 to AU$12), and Gaea's Cradle (AU$400+ for the original; Commander Legends has a reprint version that's more accessible).
Priority 2. Card draw: Green card draw is creature-count-based. Garruk's Packleader (AU$1 to AU$3), Guardian Project (AU$5 to AU$12), Rishkar's Expertise (AU$4 to AU$10), Shamanic Revelation (AU$2 to AU$5).
Priority 3. Removal: Green's removal is combat-based and enchantment-based. Beast Within (AU$2 to AU$6) removes anything. Reclamation Sage (AU$1 to AU$3) kills artifacts and enchantments.
Priority 4. Trample enabler: Without Trample, your massive creatures get chump-blocked forever. Garruk's Uprising (AU$1 to AU$3) and Overwhelming Stampede (AU$2 to AU$5) fix this.
What Mono-Green Struggles With
No counterspells. No targeted creature removal at instant speed. No way to deal with flying creatures except Spidersilk Armor, reach creatures, or aerial-reach effects. A mono-blue opponent with consistent countermagic will frustrate a mono-green strategy. A mono-white opponent with wraths will reset the board and leave you behind.
