After completely dismantling and reworking my last G/W Commander Deck, this is what I have come up with; a Elf Token deck featuring Rhys the Redeemed as my Commander.

The basic idea is to use the combination of tokens and elvish tribal abilities to overwhelm.

I wanted to use Rhys the Redeemed as my Commander because of his low cost and abilities to make and duplicate tokens fairly early in the game.

Tokens: I wanted this deck to focus on creating tokens but also to utilize the synergy of Elves. In order to get the most out of token creation I am running Parallel Lives and Primal Vigor. I would like to eventually add Doubling Season but it is a pretty expensive card. Rhys the Redeemed is a very important part of my token creation, especially when equipped with Illusionist's Bracers to copy his abilities. Other elves that create tokens are also important, like, Imperious Perfect and Lys Alana Huntmaster. With Elvish Promenade creating a token for each elf I control could mean a ton of tokens on the battlefield, especially if played with Primal Vigor or Parallel Lives. **I am running one Infinite Token Combo with Midnight Guard + Presence of Gond just because. I do think its a little cheap and while I do have a few tutors I don't think I'll get too many chances to play it.

Being able to protect my tokens is also important so I am running Akroma's Memorial, Eldrazi Monument, and Emmara Tandris.

The Beef: Being able to create a bunch of tokens is good but being able to make the stronger is better. Creatures like Elvish Archdruid, Ezuri, Renegade Leader, Immaculate Magistrate, and Dwynen, Gilt-Leaf Daen all give my elves and tokens more power. Cathars' Crusade and Overrun could easily create a win.

Mana Ramping: I wanted this deck to be able to produce mana efficiently and elves are quiet good at it. This deck runs the following to ensure a steady source of mana: Elvish Mystic, Fyndhorn Elves, Llanowar Elves, Priest of Titania, Beastcaller Savant, Fyndhorn Elder, Elvish Archdruid, Selvala, Explorer Returned, Wirewood Channeler,Nissa's Renewal, Kodama's Reach, Sol Ring, and my personal favorite Mirari's Wake.

Please let me know what you think. I would like to make this deck powerful but fun to play with and against. Thank you for all feedback!
