This deck is a slow starter but if you can manage to go unnoticed group games end as soon as you draw the right card, altar of the brood, triumph of the hordes, overwhelming stampede, akroma's memorial, there are alot of ways the game can go down but the constant is tokens
my favorite is to sitback and stay quiet until i can play dromoka, then follow that with plea for guidance to get sterling grove and privileged position, and once you have that you throw down tooth and nail for avacyn and sigarda once those five are on the board there are very few things that can be done short of karn and an exile board wipe , if i can't do that then i get big and scary and pretty much play what i draw there is very little thought in playing this deck.

Unless you're running dedicated mill I don't think it's a good idea to put cards from the library into the graveyard in EDH. Even then I'm not wild about it. Sure, you're going to occasionally mill out some bomb or something with Altar of the Brood, but it's EDH; your deck should be all bombs. Milling the occasional bomb doesn't offset the zombie guy who actively wants stuff in the graveyard, or the Mimeoplasm guy who was just gonna entomb that Shelodred anyway, or the Marchesa guy about to play Living Death, or the Varloz guy looking to make his commander a 42/42, etc. Not to mention all the spells with flashback, the Eternal Witnesses in green decks, etc. Unless you're playing with some crazy mulligan rule, 25 lands is way too few. I run 36 in Edric, and that deck has half the average cmc of this deck.Mirri's Guile is okay, but given the choice I'd much rather run Sylvan Library

yea i only play casual with some buddies and our mulligan is pretty forgiving and i honestly dont run into mana screw that often anyway, and i only drop altar of the brood when i know im about to droop an ungodly amount of tokens.But i get what you are saying about the lands to an extent, are there any obvious (non dual) lands that im missing and what would you cut besides what you already mentioned
Things I'd consider replacing:Naturalize: I wouldn't cut it, but I'd replace it with Deglamer or Unravel the Aether. Naturalize won't hit Darksteel stuff or Theros gods, but Deglamer or Unravel will, and Naturalize puts stuff in the graveyard where it can be gotten again. Return to Dust and Fate Forgotten would be an option here, too.Elfhame Sanctuary: I wouldn't cut this either, but maybe replace it with Abundance. For two mana more instead of skipping your draw for a land, Abundance lets you choose land or non-land and draw until you hit it. Basically it works like Elfhame Sancturary when you need lands, and when you don't it lets you skip them. Plus if you run Sylvan Library it lets you draw three cards since it functions as a replacement effect.Presence of Grond: Sigil of the Empty Throne will make bigger dudes with flying, and it'll probably make more of them, and it won't get two-for-one'ed on a board wipe.Things I'd consider cutting:Populate and Fog, and maybe Norn's Annex: In a Rhys token deck you're probably going to always have chump blockers, especially with stuff like Brave the Sands in the deck.Call of the Conclave: Would you run a vanilla 3/3 for 2 mana? You've got some token synergy, so it's slightly better than that since it can be populated or doubled with Doubling Season, but it's not much better.Enchantresses could probably do good work in this deck, but then it's moving away from being a token deck. You are already running like 60% of the cards I run in my Sigarda enchantress deck though :) http://www.mtgvault.com/doctorhydrogen/decks/sigarda-host-of-herons-edh-5/
