A go at making a card list with good synergy for the commander. A moderate effort was put in to keep it pretty low budget, as i pretty much ignored any card that costs much over ~5$. Some high-budget substitutions could substantially increase the power power level, so if you're looking for a more expensive decklist consider things like token doubling e.g.Doubling Season, big eldrazi lords like Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre, mana generation acceleration like Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy or Thousand-Year Elixir, and the standard green game-enders like Craterhoof Behemoth. You will often create a large number of creatures/creature-tokens on your turn, so haste is exceptionally powerful in this deck to keep the ball rolling so things like Concordant Crossroads would be a fantastic inclusion as well.

A good game setup will include some early mana generators like Gyre Engineer or Somberwald Sage etc. to get your commander out ASAP. From there, the gameplan will depend on your cards in hand, but usually will have a few turns dedicated to pumping out as many little token creatures as you can along with some support cards like Murkfiend Liege or Kruphix, God of Horizons, Fable of Wolf and Owl, etc. Closing out games is the area that is especially limiting for a budget deck and it ends up being either long and grindy, or else ends immediately with an Overrun/Overwhelming Stampede.

Some standout performing cards include: Leyline of Abundance, Avenger of Zendikar, Intruder Alarm, Growing Rites of Itlimoc  , Hornet Queen, Nadir Kraken, Sicarian Infiltrator, and Wolfbriar Elemental.

Also, Mystic Reflection is a fantastic inclusion, as it can either act defensively to make an opponent's creature enter as a chump, or be a token multiplier with cards like Hornet Queen or Avenger of Zendikar (for example, if Avenger of Zendikar is played with 6 lands, it puts six plant tokens on the stack, then play MR and target AoZ. That converts your 6 plant tokens into 6 more copies of Avenger of Zendikar which then creates 36 0/1 plant creatures. Now, every time you play a land it triggers +7/+7 onto each of your 36 plant tokens from your Avenger of Zendikar original+clones).
