Any ideas for what I should change?

Idk, seems like a ton of ramp and the one  {Kalonian Tusker} seems a little odd...

If ur doing that much ramp with  {Garruk, Caller of Beasts}, I would maybe throw in some  {Kalonian Hydra} or some other green bombs, thrags are soooo overplayed... I know, I know how good they are...

 {Worldspine Wurm} is a great card to put out with garruk

^^THIS!!!!  Definitely a one of at least. Also, take out the pilgrim ramp and put it 4 {witchstalker}. I know some people may say sideboard against certain decks but I think a 3 mana 3/3 with hexproof is pretty solid. Additionally it helps keep the midrange game going.

 {Champion of Lambholt} is one of my main cards in my mono green. Being able to play off of the +1+1 counters with your hydra could make it even more interesting.

Why no  {Craterhoof Behemoth}? It so much better than the wurm.

A mono green deck without  {Rancor} or  {Strangleroot Geist}. Whaaaaat.

Rancor and farseek.

Hmm... 1 Primal surge for a 30+ monster rampage.

Idk about a playset of Garruk bc you never want more than one in your hand I'd say -2 Garruk +2 some big old beasts or a couple rancors :)

I always want a {garruk, caller of beasts} in my hand.  He is my win con.  Use him to search for my biggest things, then play them for free.  And with the new legendary/planeswalker rule, I could -3 into a {craterhoof behemoth} and Ben play the one in my hand, keep the new one, and -3 into the other {craterhoof behemoth} in my hand for insane amounts of damage.

True I always forget about the rule change my bad. Seems reasonable.

I love this deck! cos it is old school green and I love it! Only thing I don't like is {Elvish Archdruid} you don't have the elves for him, I would (IMO) -2 {Elvish Archdruid}, +2 {Gyre Sage} or have no {Elvish Archdruid} and add 2  {Arbor Elf} but that's just me other then that as I said love it.

You think so?  I have a 10 elves in this deck.  Normally I have 2 or 3 elves out at a time.  A three mana tap for 3 mana and make all other elves bigger seems like a really good idea.  I can even pull him out on turn 2, then turn 3 garruk, and it accelerates me into my {craterhoof behemoth} a lot faster if I don't draw my garruk.
your right the ramp is great well the other thing (didn't see it before) is move {Strangleroot Geist} to the sideboard and add 4 {Arbor Elf} then you'll speed your deck up with more ramp

Yes it is, with a slightly different sideboard.  My current sideboard has some fogs, a {elderscale wurm} and some other stuff.  And I don't have 4 worldspines yet, so I'm main boarding a elderscale wurm

True well it was very powerful lol
