No white source and only 4 mana fixers makes Fleecemane lion unplayable.

The Fleecemane are kind of just place holders until I can get something else.
What would you suggest to counter those cards?

 {Ranger's Guile} is never bad in mono green. Green doesn't have too much anti control; that is one of the options.

{Mending Touch}!!!!

Only instant/sorc I'd side in against any control match. Guile is good, but it doesn't protect you from boardwipes. It will keep away the Azorious charms though.

I was thinking of replacing the 2 {Fleecemane Lion} with 2 {Garruk, Caller of Beasts}, so then maybe I'll swap out the 4 {Sylvan Caryatid} with 4 {Mending Touch}?

No, I would not do this.

Keep the lions and caryatids. Try to have mostly 4 ofs take out what you don't need cough cough Arbor colossus cough cough and add more 4 ofs idk what you need but play test and unless you need a card in most scenarios you should toss it

Look at his mana base. Only white sources are sylvans. Why stop at the lions? Might as well add {Rakdos's Return} because it's a good card. sarcasm >.>

It's not hard to adjust the mana base especially for a small splash like this plus he runs 16 forest it's not rocket science to add 4 Plains and take out 4 forest

SHE is not looking to make a green/white deck. Theros is literally my starting set, so 95% of my cards are from Theros. Using what I have, I made a deck, but I know it needs adjust and I have limited knowledge of the card sets outside of this one. Honestly, mana is not an issue everytime I've played since I have playsets of {Voyaging Satyr}, {Sylvan Caryatid}, and {Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx}.
And Fleecemane need 1 white. It's hardly been an issue with that, either. Besides, if I can't get a white, I have like 12 other big creatures available I can use instead. Like I said, I want Garruks and Mending Touches, and that's pretty much it at this point. Unless someone else has a good idea I haven't come across.

Oh my bad SHE* buts still if you run a creature with white you should have a couple of white sources other than a caryatid. Also Garruk would be ok but he is still pricey so I'd recommend play testing with proxies first then if you still want him use him.

I don't really want to keep the Fleecemanes in there, though. I'm very stubborn and want to keep it mono green. Which why I was hoping to switch them out for Garruks, but I'm having a hard time even finding them for sale or trade. Is there something else I could put in there instead?

If you're going mono green devotion try  {Kalonian Tusker} M14 and  {Burning-Tree Emissary} Gatecrash both are solid 2 drops that make your Nylea a creature I'd recommend 4x Burning Tree even though you don't use/need red it's just a free creature basically it fits great for a T2 Burning Tree into  {Sylvan Caryatid} for a T3 Nylea creature

This!!!  Take out the Fleecemanes, do NOT run {Mending Touch}, and finish some playsets and take some less useful cards out.

Finish playsets of {Boon Satyr} and add in 4x {Kalonian Tusker} and 4x {Burning Tree Emissary}.  Take out the {Nemesis of Mortals} and the {Woodborn Behemoth}.  Take out your {Sedge Scorpion}s in favor of 4x {Experiment One}, removing the {Nylea's Emissary} and the {Nylea's Disciple}.  Also add in 4x {Elvish Mystic}, or at least 3x, in favor of the {Reverent Hunter} and any other extra slots.

I'd keep one  {Nemesis of Mortals}. I feel like that card has potential. How many things will have died by turn 7? 8? If they haven't dealt with at least 3 or 4 of your early plays they would probably be dead... So if you draw one late he could easily be a 10/10 for 6 or 7 mana. Just my opinion.

Maybe...  Ya, one wouldn't hurt.
