Some other good elf token generators: Devoted Druid + Presence of Gond (alongside an Immaculate Magistrate, you're at least doubling your elves every turn. Add in a Wirewood Lodge, and you're quadrupling them). Rhys the Redeemed is another great token doubler, and there's always Doubling Season. I really like this idea with furystoke giant and tokens, I may put him in my wall deck.

Also, why Rhox Pikemaster over Field Marshal?
If you're into the whole infinity combo thing, Cryptic Gateway + Stormfront Riders is an easy infin soldier combo--play stormfront riders, bounce him and a soldier back to your hand, tap the two soldiers tokens you make to plays stormfront riders again. They'll all be tapped, but there are ways to work with that. Overall, this is a pretty sweet deck.
I also love bloodchief ascension in a deck like this--while it does take away from the mill win, 1 glimpse with a bloodchief out makes opponent lose 20 life and you gain 20...that's outright murder.
Rhys the Redeemed, alongside Doubling Season, quadruples your tokens for 6cmc.
Heck yes on some Rakka Mar.
I love Glimpse, but I just don't wanna drop $60 for a playset. I hadn't ever thought about copying Lich Lord, I think that's a really good idea I'll look into. Thanks!

I agree about Bloodbound march and paradise plumes. I built a similar deck for a different challenge, an all creature deck. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=105310
Awesome card in this deck is scornful egotist. ends up costing you four to get an 8 cmc out. "Wow, that's a nice Hellkite Overlord you got there. I'll trade you this 1/1 for it. Sound fair?"
Dragonspeaker Shaman might benefit this deck. Other suggestions you may consider working in would be darksteel ingot, wall of denial, and particularly some seething songs or something--cascading into a seething song and dropping another plus one mana lets you dragonstorm the mess out of this deck.
Don't forget that proliferate works on planeswalkers, too...the new-coming Tezzeret, Slave of Bolas would be sweet in this deck.
Best deathtouch combo I've ever seen = goblin sharpshooter + venomous fangs. Kills anything you want it to, basically.
Pretty sweet--I love me some elf decks. Check out mine, draw a couple sample hands, and lemme know what you think: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=103549
Check out my elf deck here for some possible additions: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=103549 I love devoted druid enchanted with presence of gond. Best elf generator in my opinion. Combining him with Immaculate Magistrate can get ridiculous. If you swap Coat of Arms for Door of Destinies, it'd give you infinite elves, if you're into that kinda thing.
A buddy of mine runs a similar deck with Venser in it. One use here is he phases Trinket Mage in and out to keep triggering it's ability.
Cool deck--here's my two cents: I'd either put in more allies or take them all out. For instance, a Join the Ranks, for two mana more than Raise the Alarm, would give each HF and KB +2/+2. Or, you could swap HF (1/2) for an elite vanguard (2/1). I also prefer Aven Squire to Akrasan. Another possible addition would be loyal sentry--he can be fetched back with Sun Titan, and gives you some of the control you've sideboarded.
Gorilla Titan? "Me want banana THIS big!"
So is this emperor deck based on having two generals running great aggro decks? Have you considered throwing a fireball or something in here? Looks like you could mana ramp up to twenty pretty quickly, and then just drop a general or wait to hit the emperor once one general is gone.
Sweet deck--burn decks are awesome for emeperor. Check out this emperor deck I made, and let me know if you have any suggestions. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=129690
