This deck goes crazy after a Promenade. Crown/Bloodline Shaman is a great card drawing tool. Essence Warden/Storm Herd and Angel of Salvation are just icing on the cake. My biggest problem is (of course) board sweepers... maybe Darksteel Forge?
My Rhys the Redeemed deck runs all sorts of token producers, not just elves. I make kithkins, saprolings, bears, squirrels, spirits, etc. Then Rhys doubles it all. Bwahahaha!!! I also use Glare of Subdual. It's redonkulous

I ran coat of arms in my Rhys deck, but ran into trouble with it helping all the dragon decks that seem to be around.Door of destinies seems to work a little better (it looks like you have plenty of elves) and Mirari's Wake is a nice two for one boost.
To punish people for playing board sweepers in a token/creature heavy deck try Fecundity. My Rhys deck makes so many tokens I usually have to choose not to draw any more cards off it at some point just to avoid decking myself.

The thing about Coat of Arms is; first of all, know what you're playing against. If it's not a "tribal" kind of deck then go ahead and run it out there. If your opponents DO have lots of the same kinds of creatures, then CoA becomes more of an 'alpha strike' card. You just have to wait until you have a huge swarm, drop it, and win. At least, that's how I play it in my goblin deck (and trust me, it's really good...better than Door IMO)
EDIT:
I second the vote for Wake....it's a must have.
I tried fecundity that I found really interesting but after some try I saw it more like a problem.
I have really often smt to do with my mana without having to draw (Rhys is a good example, he can use a lot by himself) so even if I don't draw, I still can play.
In the opposit, If my opponents draw during a sweeper or when blocking my charges, it could be a real problem, allowing them to start again or find a solution faster.
That's why I decided to cut it.
About Caller of the Claw, I should probably try it again.
I put it on the deck too but never had to use it properly or never had it on hand when usefull, reason why I cut it as well... I still find it sexy anyway.
The wind is funny but I prefere Mirror Entity, easier to pick with a tutor and reusable.
Is Kamahl worth it?
I mean, there's no real surprise in it except if you have 11 manas to spend.
About Mirari's Wake, isn't it just overkill?
It's fun, I admit, but when you got 5 manas available, isn't there better play to do that loose a turn to play it?
About Garruk and Tolsimir, they already are in.
Kamahl is utter house when he's on the board, especially when you are running tokens filling your board. They have a turn to respond and get rid of kamahl before he literally gets overrun by trampling pumped tokens.
Mirari's wake isnt overkill, it puts pressure on your opponents side, its the same with kamahl. Heck have both that and Kamahl out with a few tokens, GG.
By the way, i recommend Nemata, Grove guardian . She's in my doran deck with has a side theme of saprolings.
She's fantastic and a huge problem for your opponent, not to mention she has a instant ability to pump your other saprolings.
If you are planning on running things like mirari's wake or Mana reflection make sure you consider other cards that you can abuse with having a large mana pool to work with.
One more thing..maybe consider Seedborn Muse? and Stonewood incovation it can provide your general with some evasion as well as other important creatures.

Kaalia of the Vast- WBR

Twilight Shepherd and Heartmender can evade board sweeps.
Twilight Shepherd works too.
Much thanks.

Not quite what you're trying to do with yours but maybe you'll find something useful.
Necro warning. A full year too, wow.
