Mono green has always been a formidable opponent.Green does not have the ability of blue to deny a spell or the raw burning power of Red or the control of white or the killing power of black. What green has though is an abundance of creatures big and small and the ability to cast those creatures much earlier.

Green Power has this standard pauper deck list:

22 X Forests

4 X Elvish Mystic

4 X Gladecover Scout

4 X Spire Tracer

4 X Centaurs Herald

4 X Voyager Satyr 

4 X Ivylane Denizen

____________________

24 creatures

4 X Slaughter Horn

4 X Scabclan Charger

4 X Forced Adaptation

2 X Mighty Chorus

14 Spells

This deck starts of with a couple of easy to cast creatures like Elvish Mystic , Gladecover Scout , Spire Tracer and Centaurs Herald. Yup the Elf crew is here again and they are all mean little creatures. 

The latest green Standard Mana acceleration at the common slot last held by Llanowar Elves has now been taken over by Elvish Mystic , he makes sure that you get to have the Ivylane Denizen and Staunch- Hearted Warrior as early as turn 3 with enough mana to trigger the Ivylane Denizen to put a +1/+1 on any target creature. These 4 casting creatures are at the heart of a massive combo in this deck.

This deck has no noticeable removal spells. Not even a pit fight. There are no lack of creatures here though and you could be sure than when you have really big creatures players are always hesitant to attack which forms your natural defense. Intimidation is key here.Growing to the massive size that you need even before your opponent could set up defenses.

Slaughter Horn and Scabclan Charger are great Pump creatures for your attacks or could just simply be cast whenever you need a trigger or another body on the battlefield. 

Mighty Chorus is a great addition here because of the numerous 1 drop creatures in the deck you are sure to make one creature really massive due to the number of creatures attacking.

Often times because of the decks aggressive build opponents are forced to block more than they actually attack. With this much muscle on your side how could things go wrong?
