Im sorry to say but this deck has a good idea but u made it very bad. no edh should go under 30 lands....thats minimum. I love the commander choice though. :) fix that land. It will be much better.

I have cards in my deck to loop around the lack of land.
Arbor Elf, Elvish Archdruid, Frontier Guide, Llanowar Elves, Llanowar Mentor, Veteran Explorer, Awakening Zone, Burgeoning, Exploration, Mana Reflection, Harrow, Explosive vegetation, Farseek, Kodama's Reach, Skyshroud Claim.

With these cards I can either get my land out or its a substitution for land.

If you have any suggestions of what to trade off for land, then I would much more prefer that. :P

You should add Mirror Entity. I have a Rhys EDH deck too, and Mirror Entity wins a lot of games for me, with all the mana these decks produce. Take a look at mine if you want.

At first, I didn't understand how that card would help me. Now, after that I read and tried to understand it more, I see how this card would help. Thank you!

Also, Skyshroud Poacher can tutor for it too, cause Mirror Entity is an ELF!!! I love tutoring for it, dropping it on the table and saying "I'll pick this elf."

One more thing... Gaea's Cradle is huge in this deck... You might consider Crop Rotation and/or Knight of the Reliquary in order to go tutor for it as fast as possible.

I also really like Seedborn Muse in here, I think I'm gonna have to add that to my Rhys EDH deck.

Yeah, I like Knight of Reliquary more because you can do it anytime and more than once if needed. Also, yeah Seedborn Muse is really awesome! Right now I am trying to get around the fact that I have less land than normal EDH decks.

I would take out 10 of those enchantments and add 10 mana producing lands. The 10 I would take out are

Angelic Chorus, Beastmaster Ascension, Burgeoning, Celestial Mantle, Exploration, Leyline of Sanctity, Leyline of Vitality, Path of Bravery, Proper Burial, and True Conviction.

Other spells I think you could live without are:
Alive // Well, and other life gain spells...Are you really concerned about gaining life? It doesn't save you if they have a big Commander dealing 21 points of damage to you. If you want to prevent life lose, have you considered the Equipment Pariah's shield? It's nice cause you can just re-equip it to another one of your tokens.

Partially agree on the lifegain, but not in removing Beastmaster Ascension. You can pretty often trigger that the turn it comes into play with a token deck (with no risk if you're running something like Reconnaissance) and it has to be answered or you win.

I took some changes into consideration and this is what I came up with. What do you think?

I think Celestial Mantle is a fantastic card . . . just not for this deck. At the same CMC I'd rather give +3/+3 to everything via Collective Blessing, or Double Strike + Lifelink via True Conviction. Cathar's Crusade can get out of hand in a token deck and end games fast, too. Basically I'd avoid any aura in favor of global enchantments.

I'd also put in one or two methods to deal with indestructibles, but that may be just my meta, and you may not need them. For me I see Darksteel Plates, Darksteel Forges, Eldrazi Monuments, all the gods, etc. so I need to have ways to deal with them (Deglamer, Revoke Existence, Path to Exile, Oblation, Condemn, Return to Dust, Fade Into Antiquity). You may not see that stuff though, so having ways to get it gone might not matter much.

Glare of Subdual- Less than a buck to buy, and in a token deck it flat-out wins games.

Holy shit, wow.. That pretty much stops the other player from doing anything. Thank you.
That card with Seedborn Muse.. Holy shit.

Midnight Guard + Presence of Gond can be a great combo if you can get them both out.
Epic Struggle and Felidar Sovereign (especially this guy for your deck) are good cards to consider also. I have them in my deck as alternate win conditions.

I have a Rhys EDH deck, but mine's focused more on making tokens, pumping them up, and just overwhelming the opponent. I have some of the same cards as you do. Here's mine if you want to take a look for some more ideas :) I own all of the cards in the main deck, and the cards in the sideboard are ones I don't own or are not currently in the deck but I am considering buying to swap in.

I dont think you need caged sun or gauntlet of power in this deck. with the small amount of basics that you play it wont help. Id rather play mana reflection (which you do) and mirari's wake to add more mana. Second of all the amount of land search you play is WAY to much. You can use like 4-6 land search cards but you use 7 and you are using a lot of small cost elves. I completely understand you want this a little bit of a tribal deck but this is going to be hard to pull off against better decks.

some cards I'd remove:
Mercy Killing
Awakening Zone
Caged Sun
coat of arms
conjurer's closet
gauntlet of power
arbor elf
elvish archdruid
elvish champion
elvish piper
frontier guide
glistener elf
immaculate magistrate
jagged-scar archers
joraga warcaller
lys alana huntmaster
prist of titania
quirion elves
skyshroud poacher
wellwisher
leyline of vitality
reconnaissance
farseek
far wanderings

cards Id replace them with:

1 Craterhoof Behemoth
1 Skullclamp
1 Academy Rector
1 Armada Wurm
1 Aven Mindcensor
1 Avenger of Zendikar
1 Baneslayer Angel
1 Eternal Witness
1 Kamahl, Fist of Krosa
1 Mycoloth
1 Solemn Simulacrum
1 Trostani, Selesnya's Voice
1 Voice of Resurgence
1 Worldspine Wurm
1 Yavimaya Elder
1 Greater Good
1 Mirari's Wake
1 Sylvan Library
1 Eladamri's Call
1 Enlightened Tutor
1 Momentous Fall
1 Rootborn Defenses
1 Swords to Plowshares
1 Crush of Wurms
1 Decree of Justice
1 Harmonize
1 Kodama's Reach
1 Parallel Evolution
1 Soul's Majesty

You might have to find a few slots to fill in the rest.

take a look at my token deck to get better idea's

Cathar's Crusade is bar none the best anthem for tokens because the bump remains after it's gone.

Josephinesmith, actually its only when you cast spells of chosen creature type. I like Coat of Arms better because I don't have to worry about not getting the needed creatures to cast in order to buff up my creatures.

doctorhydrogen, wow, I really like that! I switched out Beastmaster Ascension for Cathar's Crusade, its way better! Thank you.
