It could also mean paying mana and a card to force a chump block, or simply have that creature taken down by a doomblade. Single pump does not get value close to that of a burn or right out destroy.

Why would it force a chump block?  Hold off on the pump until after blockers.

And have them kill the creature in response? I don't see the value.

I'd rather have them waste a kill spell on a pumped Llanawar Elf then my Essense of the Wild.
Yes, straight up destroy or damage are better value, but short of flying hate, mono green doesn't have access.

beast from within can be a sort of removal for green

Touchee!  I'd toss those in here, and sideboard the Naturalize's.

fresh meat with the essence out can pump out some pretty nasty turns as well.

Ok so now I changed it up.  What do you guys think of the update.  I added some stronger creatures with some protection.  I'm sure not enough removal but let me know what I need.

Not sure you need those wreath of geists with all the cards your bringing back with moldgraf and creeping renaissance but and I love that gutter grime card

Oh I just got an idea for more creature production for your deck, maybe mayor of Avabruck?
