Prompt: Build a high-power (8/10, non-cEDH) Mono-Green Commander deck with Hit-Monkey (MSC #723) as commander. Focus on aggressive Voltron and winning through commander damage. Prioritize Equipment, Auras, +1/+1 counters, power-doubling boosts, efficient pump, trample, block manipulation, and reliable ways to connect. Deathtouch + trample is especially valuable. Avoid redundant hexproof/haste protection; instead protect against wipes, sacrifice effects, and removal that bypasses hexproof. Include combat-damage payoffs for cards, mana, Treasures, counters, or advantage, plus double strike, extra combats, or damage multiplication where possible. Add fast ramp for turn 2-3 Hit-Monkey, strong draw, removal, recursion, and 35-37 lands. Prefer newer cards, including MSC. Avoid generic green goodstuff. Exactly 100 Commander-legal cards, Mono-Green identity only. After the list, explain game plan, best buffs, combat synergies, evasion, protection, fastest 21-damage lines, and weaknesses.
