So apparently mono-green aristocrats is a thing that exists. While that's not exactly the route I went for this deck, it is an aspect of it. Mainly though, you'll just be drawing a ton of cards and dropping enormous wurms onto the battlefield. The main win condition of this deck is either playing enormous wurms such as Worldspine Wurm or Impervious Greatwurm and smashing your opponents in the face. Alternatively, you can use Psychosis Crawler and Grothama or Greater Good to drain massive amounts of life.

Piloting the deck

Essentially you want to keep a hand full of ramp, lands, and mana dorks, ramp out Grothama, have her fight the dorks, killing her, and drawing you into gas. By this point you should already have enough mana to keep those wurms flowing. Make sure you only cast her when you're sure only YOU can kill her; otherwise you run the risk of other players killing her before you can do anything (she should usually only last for your turn). If you really don't want her to die, there are effects that can make her indestructible, such as Mortal's Resolve and Spearbreaker Behemoth. Another important thing to keep in mind is to make sure you hold up your land drop until AFTER Grothama dies; that way you can play a Reliquary Tower when/if you draw it in case you end up with more than 7 cards in hand. If you don't draw it, you'll still be fine; there are plenty of ways of getting cards back from the graveyard.
