It's a nice deck, i like elves they are cheap to get out. But if anyone values my opinion i think there are to many land related things in it. llanowar elves and morsal horder and things like that, u already have 20 forests and that should definatly be enough land. I would put some gleeful sabotages in it because you never know when there will be an annoying target creature doesnt untap card, which will effect rhys the redeemed. and also put in wilt-leaf liege. and considering this is an elf token deck, i would for sure get jagged-scar Archers and drove of elves, they work nice with mercy killing.
you could also change some mana creating creatures with elvish visionary.

i like wat this guy up here is saying. keep the farhavens and u might want to put in 2 primal commands so u can cycle your sorcerys. gilt-leaf ambush wouldnt hurt either. also give some ablility to draw. howling mine should do nicely.

The Elf tokens bit has been completely given up on from a competetive standpoint. Now its a fun deck to play and see it shine, but the truth is it gets blasted away into smoldering bits against whats out there. One Firespout or Infest or the bunches of other ways to damage all creatures and whipe the board spells put the hurt on a deck like this. Not to mention Faeries. I made a deck like this, albeit I had a lot more removal. It just doesnt stack up.

Also when making a Elf Warrior token deck (that Warrior part is very important) You want 4 Imperious Perfect and 4 Bramblewood Paragon to make it all worth while. Why do you have all these 2x .... make up your mind. And 2 Llanowar Elves? They are there for mana accel why would you only want 2? You either put in 4 to increase the chance of drawing one first turn, or lose them altogether for all the good theyll do you. Mercy Killing looked like a killer card, but in my deck the MOST i could ever get out of it was 3 tokens, most of the time it was 2. With all the removal and control other decks have, you cant rely on any kind of optimal playing field. People will be throwing down tons of Thoughtseize, Remove Soul, Cryptic Command, Eyeblight's Ending, Firespout, Mind Shatter... Not to mention some of the creatures: Shriekmaw, Mulldrifter, Spellstutter Sprite with Bitterblossom, Vendillion Clique, Mistbind Clique, Reveillark, Cloudthresher. Dont forget Royal Assassin is still legal with Nekrataal too lol. Im sorry but you gotta let Elves Tokens go.
