If you assume your opponents don't have a legendary creature in their hands, Iwamori is a 5/5 trample for 4 mana beatstick. And he brings a BIG army with him. SMASH FACE!
Plus, I know Harrow is AMAZING (especially with the baloths) but even it can't warp the time-space continuum to let you play 2 in an EDH deck. I suggest Explosive Vegetation as a one mana-more version.
I like Baru, Fist of Krosa in any mono-green beatdown deck. Although a lot of your dudes have trample, not all of them do. And the added power bonus is nice as well.

I'm not sure the point of playing Iwamori as a general?
4 for a 5/5 trample is nothing special, and his drawback can be backbreaking (thanks, I'll put Akroma into play turn 3/4!) so really it is not even worth the risk.
There are generals who aren't great, but they at least do something interesting. The best you can hope for with Iwamori is to have helm of posession and sac an elf or Iwamori to steal whatever they played off him. You're monogreen if he's your general, so the # of tricks you have to turn his drawback into an advantage is very low.

I love seeing goofy generals played (I run a fun johan deck) but Iwamori is just pointless. Strictly worse than something like marhault elsdragon!
I really like your Helm of Possession proposal True, he has a drawback but most of the times people won't have a legendary creature in their deck. And I'll just refuse to play against Captain Sisay decks
Enjoy!

So I was thinking, a pair of fatties, is better than one. Also overwhelming (or probably better, Garruk) your opponent, while a little more expensive, could be better than just a single oaken might or invocation of stone-like wood.

Make the exact same deck with Baru instead of Iwamori as general and its automatically 10x better. Heck use patron of the orochi or verdeloth, the ancient or even azusa, lost but seeking and the deck is instantly better.

Thanks for the suggestions! I put them all in

KAALIA SMASH!
Intet dreams of times ahead
and more
Not a bad idea (although I really shouldn't play too many good green Legends to distract from my General :p), but what to drop?
