So the idea of the deck is to control the board with tokens. And with Emmara out, your tokens make a pretty good wall. So you just sit behind them and amass your forces until you can overwhelm your opponents.
I also play Weiss Schwarz, Chaos, Vanguard and Wixoss.
Weiss Schwarz Sets
Accel World, Angel Beats, Familiar of Zero, Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet, Guilty Crown, Kill La Kill, Robotics;Notes, Sword Art Online.
Chaos Partners
Arpeggio of Blue Steel: Iona, Kirishima, Kongou.
Dangan Ronpa: Asahina, Togami.
Freezing: Vibration: Chiffon, Satelizer.
Vanguard Clans Favoured
Angel Feather, Dark Irregulars, Genesis, Neonecter, Pale Moon, Shadow Paladins, Tachikaze.
Rune-tail, Kitsune Ascendant outclasses Emmara by leaps and bounds. I'd run Trostani or Tolsimir as the commander, burn all your copies of Emmara, and put Rune-Tail in the 99, if I were you.

It's one thing to not use the proper WG token general, but not putting Rhys in the deck is just silly man. At least put him in.

People often prefer to play with a general who isn't the best in a colour combination to be different, there will always be a millin Rhys decks, but Emmara is more creative.
I also play Weiss Schwarz, Chaos, Vanguard and Wixoss.

I will be putting Rhys in here. There are a couple of cards that aren't doing it for me.
In my playgroup, they have been telling me that too. Play Trostani or Rhys. I'm just showing Emmara some love. First time I played the deck, I enjoyed her. Particularly, the sad expression on my opponent's face as he looks at his Balederp Dragon.
Great suggestions so far. Thanks. I'll be updating the deck soon.

Which is why I didn't suggest Rhys... I've yet to see tolsimir as a commander.

I respect anyone who would rather play Emmara than a tried and true token general.
Now take it a step further; run Lightmine Field. That's the number one card that comes to my mind that ONLY works in a token list if Emmara is at the helm. Your opponents can't alpha back at you, while your tokens swing with impunity.

At first I was like NOOO then I remembered Emmara's ability and I was wow that's good lol
So the cluestone is just better than the talisman because there is quite a bit of lifegain already.
Voice and Rhys should be self explanatory. And I'm taking out the Soul of the Harvest because of the nontoken clause. And I'm kind of light on actual creatures.
Lightmine Field is Hilarious.

This would be a very interesting direction to take a token deck in and would make Emmara a uniquely good choice. I would love to see this build. Are there any more effects like this in GW?

OK, here are my suggestions after actually reviewing your list. Sorry for the snark earlier. A lot of the things I'm suggesting you take out are things that have been cut from my Tolsimir deck, and things we've pruned out of my buddy's Trostani deck. Alot of them are very good cards, but they just don't pull their weight in comparison to the things I've suggested as replacements. A few of my suggestions are meta dependant, but they should up your win rate and interactivity. I hope this helps, let me know what you think, please!
-Expedition Map. You are in green, have some pride man.
-Selesnya Cluestone. The keyrune is better
-Keeper of Progenitus. You don't want to hug.
-Scion of Vitu-Ghazi. You have better tokenators. This one is superfluous and doesn't quite pull its weight.
-Verdant Haven. This makes you a target for lando, for one thing, and it doesn't pull enough weight to earn a slot, IMO.
-Trostani's Judgment. Too expensive for what it does.
-Vitu-Ghazi Guildmage. Abilities are massively overcosted. I'd be surprised if you ever got to activate them.
-Genesis Wave. Too many instants/sorceries to be a blowout, too many low-costed things. In most decks, this is a win-con. I don't see it getting there with this list.
+Collective Unconscious. Card draw wins games
+Rune-Tail, Kitsune Ascendant. He. Is. A. Boss. I have never once regretted drawing him in any of my white decks.
+Mentor of the Meek. MOAR CARD DRAW. He was made for tokenators.
+Sylvan Library. Card Draw, Topdeck Manipulation. 'Nuff said.
+Terminus. It's a staple for a reason.
+Aura Shards. You are a tokenator. This will run the goddamn board. It's a "may", so you don't even have a drawback. Auto-in.
+Ashnod's Altar. Tokens = Mana. This **** is mananas. M-A-N-A-N-A-S.
+Martyr's Bond. This + Altar = boardwipe at will.
+Regal Force. Refill that hand, bro.
+Akroma's Memorial. Get there.

These are some very good suggestions. A few of those cuts were proven to be bad last in some of my games. Got blown out yesterday byCrucibleMine with my own verdant haven out.
I'm also trying out the mentor in my online list and I've not had too much luck,(Collective Blessing was out both games lol) but he seems good. I also forgot how much I love Martyr's Bond and fetches.
I'll make these changes and see how it goes. I do want to make Emmara good just to make my opponents say how good she is. haha
