The key thing you get from green would be land recursion cards: Tilling Treefolk or Life from the Loam.
Here's my budget ($20ish) casual list with Tilling Treefolk:
2x Evolving Wilds
6x Forest
4x Forgotten Cave
5x Mountain
5x Plains
4x Secluded Steppe
4x Tranquil Thicket
4x Deadshot Minotaur
4x Kitchen Finks
2x Krosan Tusker
2x Pale Recluse
4x Tilling Treefolk
2x Valley Rannet
4x Astral Slide
4x Lightning Rift
Instant (4)
4x Lightning Bolt
Here's a thread of a deck that went for Life from the Loam.
As noted in that thread, nice ETB options unrelated to green's recursion might be Kitchen Finks or Acidic Slime.
Also note that Mindslaver is a substantially worse card without Academy Ruins.
I run a very similar budget Urzatron. Can't recommend Artisan of Kozilek more.
I also don't particularly like your current non-creature arsenal. It just seems like there are better things out there than Mayael's Aria. I mean, getting a few +1/+1 counters during your upkeep is not that great when you're spending a whole card to do it. And it doesn't do anything in that respect unless you have creatures out. The other guy wants to, you know, kill your creatures. Also, while the win effect on the Aria looks nice, if you've got a guy with that much power and can't swing for the win with trample, you've got big problems. So I would suggest rethinking the non-creature spells. You might appreciate having some removal in there like Journey to Nowhere and something to clear the board of things like goblins (Pyroclasm) and then a few things to support your hydras like Canopy Cover, maybe Lightning Greaves, maybe Rancor, etc.
+1 to the Kessig Wolf Run idea above.
