What is a Mono-Green Deathtouch Deck's Weakness?

I'm currently in the process of working on a friend's deck to optimize it for FNM and I'm not sure even what the weaknesses for it is (besides the obvious Vapor Snag /Counter spell).
The deck uses the fight mechanic (pray upon and Ulvenwald Tracker ) to increase Predator Ooze 's counters or even as a creature trade with any of my deathtouch creatures. I also have 3x card:Wolfhunter's Quiver to "Ping" away their creatures.
Here's the deck link deck:the-fighting-death-spiders if anyone would like to look at it. (and if you comment on it, leave a link to your own deck, and I'll take a look at yours :)

Well true, but against the two swords I do have artifact destruction in the main board...so all I'm looking at is the Crusader (which ALWAYS is a pain for mono green.) But true, those three might provide a problem here...I'll look into some answers for those cards. Got any ideas of what I could use to stop those three? Maybe just SB a Wall of Tanglecord for the MC?

Also, anything with indestructible, like Darksteel Myr

Perilous Myr is really nice against Mirran Crusader . Especially if you're running Prey Upon

As well as pro-green, first strike and indestructible creatures, you'll also need to think about unblockable creatures; I'm not familiar with the meta, but those Invisible Stalker decks that run card:Runechanter's Pike are still popular aren't they? (Correct me if I'm wrong). I'm sure there is a solution somewhere.
card:Green Sun's Zenith may help you find card:Yeva, Nature's Herald and would be good sideboard material.
As an experiment, you could try Moldgraf Monstrosity ? You have good ramp to get up to it, and returning previously-deceased deathtouch creatures to the field after it dies sounds like sick card advantage to me.

I wouldn't dream of running Moldgraf Monstrosity at FNM. Perilous Myr is nice as long as the Crusader doesn't get sworded up or otherwise pumped. It's just a tough call.
I'd also suggest that Bonfire of the Damned is doing major damage to creature decks of all stripes right now and you will need answers to that.

Yea, I wouldn't either unless I needed just one 7-drop for a pod deck...but even then, there are better 7-drops to use.
That's very true. I have yet to find an effective stop to Bonfire of the Damned other than Witchbane Orb . Do you think that is an effective stop to Bonfire or no? What else could you use to combat bonfire?

I'd sure love to drop Mirran Crusader , Sword of Body and Mind , or Sword of Feast and Famine against this deck. That's reason enough right there not to run mono-green.
