You have elf tokens, you can sacrifice the elf tokens instead of anything important, you have golgari guildmage, you can bring back elf creatures that have died, you have savara, you can start using your sacrifices to punish opponents who likely have fewer permenants than you do or draw cards, you have maralen, you can pay 3 elf tokens to find an elf token producer, you have imperious perfect, you have G, Tap, gain a 1/1 elf and effectively one life. you have rhys the exiled, you have attack draw some cards... need I go on?

I like the deck, but I would maybe remove Rhys the Exiled, in a deck like this you could maybe end up with a bunch of tokens which is a good thing, but if you gain too many and somehow not wins the game, he can cost you the game, by making you mill yourself (some cards, a few but they still exist, can force him to attack). Besides that it looks quite good and the milling problem is only a small one, exchanging Rhys with an extra Maralen might work better.

if i have lich in hand or on the field and too many tokens i would not put the rhys into play. Alternatively I could resolve the issue by sacrificing him to his own regenerate ability to take him off the field once I am done with him for B mana.

Bad news is, you can't sacrifice tokens with Lich. Any card that said "card in play" has been errata'd to say "nontoken permanent."
