I think green in my cube needs some help. I'm thinking about shelling out for a Kalonian Hydra or even Berserk. I just need something to help green finish games out against opposing Baneslayers, Grave Titans, Tamiyo, the Moon Sages, hordes of tokens, and such. I play a lot of creatures so cards like Overrun may be a good option.
General What are the best green cards in your cube?

Is this about best green cards or best green finishers?
I think Jason's Least Favorite Card is awesome against everything (except baneslayer maybe) as a finisher.
Some of the most highly drafted green cards I run are Sylvan Library, Argothian Enchantress, Birds of Paradise and Garruk Wildspeaker.
I think overrun is a very underrated card. It closes doors.

One very underrated card in my cube is Devoted Druid. You might try him if you want to get out of the gate a little faster.
Another multi-color green card I'm excited to put back in my list is Master Biomancer. It's exactly what the green ramp deck wants to cast right before it starts dropping fatties, and it even makes those awful turn 7 mana dorks into reasonable threats.

given the collective love of Lotus Cobra on here i'm surprised nobody's brought up bloom tender.
most of the best green cards are 1-mana dorks, are these not super-high picks in every cube ever? (actually asking)
beyond that i guess some of the better stuff to ramp into is

Including all the mana dorks and Garruks. Honestly green is pretty swagarific.
Green Sun's Zenith and Eternal Witness seem to carry their weight across the board.
I find myself consistently fucked up by Death Rite Shaman and Scavenging Ooze.
I've lost a lot of games to Wolfir Silverheart and Treetop Village.
I think I've won as many matches in Peasant Cube with Acidic Slime in my deck as when I've had decks with double Arc Lightning.
I really like green cards that help me stabilize or get more out of powerful effects in other colours. Green also often carries it's weight in that it gives me time to use mana sinks that are not in themselves worth noting.

I'm actually cutting sylvan library. The option of getting to draw extra cards doesn't come up enough for it to offset the damn complexity of the card.
Instead, I'm adding an old favorite:

Green card least likely to ever leave my cube because I love it and it's powerful and rewards good deckbuilding and has a great impact on the game state:

Good question, really. Having played with him though, he (or she) is great. There always seems to be plenty of use for that mana. You grab your fixing, your Kessig Wolf Run, whatever you want. Your Genesis Waves are huge. And actually, if you get to fetch just a few times, your draws really improve.

It's really good without the stupidity of 'I ANNOUNCE GRAVE TITAN HURR'
Alternatively...
Yo that card is so bonkers. I think it's insane in pod decks, does anybody actually know of a better cube deck for it?

Also Stronghold + Thragtusk is like, the timmiest thing I've ever 3 - 0'd with.

I think it depends on the speed of your Cube and the viability of control, though it is quite the card ...
I am a fan of Academy Ruins too
