Garruk Relentless is not legal in this deck has his flipped side has a color identity of black.

Also, this deck REALLY wants a Seedborn Muse

The Muse Should have been on the list of things I eventually want to get in there. Thanks for the reminder. Thanks for the heads up on Garruk.

Change to deck:

-Garruk Relentless

Seems like you'd want Ezuri, Renegade Leader . He could either replace Kamahl or you could run both to have a better shot of getting your overrun.

Wirewood Symbiote is great with ETB effects like Sylvan Ranger , Masked Admirers , or Elvish Visionary and a mana elf, particularly the Archdruid.

Oak Street Innkeeper should have a home here as well.

Given that Rhys's tokens and those from the Imperious Perfect  are both warriors, I'd find a place for Bramblewood Paragon . Of course, I'd also find places for Lys Alana Huntmaster and Joraga Warcaller . And probably Immaculate Magistrate .

Thanks for the suggestions. What would you take out for some of these things? Ezuri is definitely intriguing as is the Lys Alana Huntmaster, especially with the Symbiote. Forgot about the Innkeeper.
Half way tempted to go a little more in the +1/+1 counters direction with the Paragon, Warcaller, Magistrate, with Forgotten Ancient (Dump all of the magistrate's counters on the ancient then move them to different creatures where I want them) in addition to Mycoloth

What to take out depends on wht you want to do. Are you maximizing tokens? Then we don't want to remove even your non-elf token generators. Are you maximizing elf tribal? Then we don't want to get rid of any elves.

I think I'd lose the Silklash Spider . It doesn't add tokens, or counters, and it is not elf tribal either. Arguably, it is your defense against flyers,. But I've always found that simpy having a big army of creatures that your opponents fear enough to stay home is also a decent defense against flyers. Barring Vigilance creatures or some sort of overrun attack, of course.
Coat of Arms is awesome, but it cuts both ways. If you run into another token or tribal deck it may hurt as much as help.
The Knight-Captain of Eos can go. The fog effect is nice, but the Lys Alana Huntmaster will get you more tokens and is an elf to boot.
I'd cut Citanul Hierophants because your deck has loads of other ways to maximize mana, and near as I can see nothing to spend that mana on besides Kamahl/Ezuri Overruns.

After that the choices get harder.
