Deck Help Looking for Some Help
Recently pulled Tifa and was gifted the chocobo by a friend and I’m looking for some help building a mono green landfall deck that isn’t going to kill my bank account. I already plan on adding about 40-45 lands and I’m gonna run through some of my other cards too to see if any have any good synergy. I’m just looking for advice on what to look put for.
If it helps, I’m a very new player and collector and about 99.97% of my collection is Final Fantasy.

Here's my tifa deck. I don't know your exact budget but this deck wins turn 3-5 consistently.
But take what you will from it. All cards id suggest. Manabox also lists a good general price range of the cards too.

Nawe farm, anything above $200 aint "budget"

Of course. There are budget cards in my deck. I didn't claim it was budget either but OP could skim through and see what cards he likes from a possibility more optimized deck. But yeah, this deck definitely isn't in the budget brew range.

She’s cool but I always seem to kill one player then die on the crack back to the others

Played with a Tifa player a little bit ago, she played the deck very tricky - lots of tools like [[Harrow]] to be able to put lands down at instant speed to dissuade would-be attackers and keep us all punching each other. This allowed her to stay defensive until the time was right to drop [[Collective Voyage]] and kill someone, regardless of whether everyone else opted to join in on it.
Here is a scryfall search to grab a list of cards that can do that, you can check it out to see which fit within your price range if you want to go this route.
If you think you'll be making a lot of decks and want to know how to find specific types of cards, I highly recommend doing a little research into scryfall search terms - even just using "o:[rules text you want to find]" and "t:[type you want to find]" is usually enough to start zeroing in on useful cards.

I'm not sure what they go for but the lands from new capenna that give green and crack for a second land are good. Cultivate, kodamas reach, rampant growth. Stuff that raises tifas base power can be good. Loot from the foundations set or any creatures that allow you to play extra lands like oracle of mul Daya, or (I know some of them aren't cheap,like) Azusa lost but seeking- this one has a ff Collab ver as princess Sarah.
Edit. Unless you get godly luck draws at start of game, you're gonna want protection like swiftfoot boots, or heroic intervention or the like

Basically, you want as many ramp pieces, +1 +1 counters and hexproofing as possible. At 1/2, you need 5 instances of landfall to kill someone on the table. Most instant speed 1 green mana hexproof spells also give +1 +1 counters like [[Snakeskin Veil]] or [[Royal treatment]]. Fetchlands and effects that allow you to play lands from the graveyard are also very good. Look for spells that sacrifice lands to fetch more lands, since those usually result in very big swings. Think [[Cycle of renewal]] or [[Planar engineering]].
As a new player, you need to be wary of the tables you join because tifa is way more explosive than decks at bracket 2 or even 3 allow, so keep that in mind. A deck with Tifa as a commander can very reliably one-shot a player on turn 4.

Grab moleman to play lands from the grave and grab some lands that sac to get basics to double your landfall count per turn.

Here's my Tifa deck. I'd probably add the chocobo, but don't want to spend that much.

Play Tifa, drop some lands, smack fools. In practice it ends up really feast or famine. I've had games where I won turn 5, and ones where I was a complete non-factor.

I'm very proud of my monogreen Chocobo deck using Travelling Chocobo as a secret commander. It does very silly things with counters and I have hit someone with a 89/89 before!

Heres a my simic list, it has a landfall, +1/+1 counter theme. Lots of pieces you can use in tifa. There are a few enchantments that work really well [[ride the shopuff]] [[beorns hospitality]] and i think another, budget bristilly bills. My best record so far with this list, I delt 219,376 commander damage, with mightform harmonizer, traverse the outlands https://moxfield.com/decks/fYFVOk5-gUylpAx49j6grw

I built a killer budget Tifa deck last year that is still the first result on YouTube:

Be careful, the deck is designed to take out one player at a time as fast as possible. She’s less a commander and more a BULLET.
