What happens when humanity blows everything up with a Chemical Bomb? The fungus inherit the earth.

This is a silly token deck. It generates tokens and it generates +1/+1 counters.

After going through a few iterations and doing some research on Ghave, I landed on a token generation theme that might randomly win with Ghave combos.

I am currently struggling how to tune it. I have a lot of expensive cards already, but I'm not in a position to spend a lot more money on the deck. So, for now, I need to forego some of the normal combo pieces with Ghave. Therefore, I went a bit heavy on the token generation and buff. With Ghave and an undying creature, even without the infinite combo, I can start to create a bunch of saproling tokens. Combine that with some of the buff enchantments and I can go wide and swing for lethal (at least over a stretch of turns).

The deck has a lot of board interaction and removal, but sometimes I feel like I slow myself down by keeping mana open for removal and not playing stuff on my turn. I think that is partly because the deck doesn't really have a focused gameplan and, honestly, I'm not sure where to take it.

Any suggestions welcome, but keep in mind I'm probably not going the "normal" Ghave combo route.
