First deck, Constructive criticism would be nice.
Basically, just mana ramp into huge guy's and overrun with everything.

Not much of a side board, im not sure what to throw in there.

Deck discussion for Mono-Green Biggins

Good idea, and an ok start. Green definitely likes to ramp to big scary dudes. But, once you get those dudes, you dont really need overrun. I did a few sample hand draws and found that frequently, there were basically no creatures to play to control the board at all until your massive guys.

I'd say, either try to ramp to the big guys, playing a few more board controlling things in the meantime - Overgrown Battlements work great for both objectives, or play just 1 of each of your big guys and play more of green's 2-4 drop guys. This way, you cast overrun on a bunch of smaller dudes, instead of just beefing up an already massive hydra, for example.

My recommendation:
-3 Chancellor
-2 Primordial Hydra
-2 Carnage Wurm
-1 Vorinclex
-4 Khalni (Playing so few lands makes it tough to get the value you want out of these, maybe consider bumping up to 20 lands)
-1 Doubling Chant
-1 Praetor's Counsel

+4 Overgrown Battlement
+3 Garruk's Companion
+3 Obstinate Baloth
+2 Acidic Slime (With the ramp, sometimes you'll be able to kill a land on turn 3, which is pretty effing sweet)
+3 Green Sun Zenith (I love having this on turn 2 for 2 to get another battlement)

I know, lots of changes. But I think you get the most value out of overrun by swarming the board, rather than having a couple monster creatures. +3/+3 Is nice when it applies to 12 dudes instead of 3!
