I love tokens in commander. I hate to say it, but the best thing you can probably do to make the deck better is remove red and use Rhys the Redeemed as your commander. If you're set on your commander choice then let's look at the spawners you have. You want to pay attention to quantity over quality when it comes to tokens. If you decide to keep red Krenko, Mob Boss pretty much needs to go in, and Rapacious One is also alright. Beastmaster Ascension should probably be in every token deck. Making tokens big is easy you need to focus on making a swarm of them.

Hey lizardwarrior, listen to what steveoowns said, except for the part about dropping Rith. Rith is amazing!

A couple quick things: Looks like you've got room for a few more cards (you're only showing 97 as I type this) and Dovescape isn't legal in this deck becuase of the .

Also, your curve seems high for the amount of ramp you have. I try to stay below 4.0, so if you want to run 4.63, I think you'll need a LOT more ramp.

Speaking of which, I like Ajani Steadfast better than Goldmane in a Rith deck.

My Rith deck has a very different feel, but you might want to check it out anyways: Smashface Gardening w/ Rith (EDH Dragons)

Good luck (and good skill) with Rith!

lizardwarrior,

I'm actually redoing my own Rith deck at the moment. It's very similar to yours, except with more focus on an enchantress element.

Have you considered Berserkers' Onslaught instead of Rage Reflection? It's just the one generic cheaper.

Thanks, and good luck!

Three often overlooked cards I run, and destroy with are Sigil Captain, Hellrider, and Champion of Lambholt. Trust me

if you're running From Beyond, you should be running Awakening Zone as well. Impact Tremors and Warstorm Surge seem really good in this as well, food for thought.

@steveowns thanks for the suggestion but ill be keeping rith hes just to good to replace

@claypeirce thanks for the suggestions

@imking thanks but rage is simply better than bezerkers

@thewretchedtwiggy thanks for the input I'll consider putting those in

@wongdemix warstorm surge sounds good in theory but once players realize what my deck does its not gonna stay around long

@crydra thanks for the suggestions but, had trostani in before but realized vitu-gazi guildmage is better for that. Intangible virtue is nice but i have too much white and need more red. Also ill consider the outcast

I personally run Gahiji, Honored One, as he's a bit more helpful in the political side of EDH. My own deck tends to focus on spawning multitudes of creatures that all trigger mass growth, like Assemble the Legion + Cathars' Crusade . Cathars' Crusade + Mycoloth is a wonderful synergy as well.

Also, Cryptolith Rite and Eldrazi Monument are invaluable in decks like this! Check it out if you'd like; I'd love suggestions, and maybe you'll see something you like! Gahiji's Creature Token Swarm

Cryptolith Rite, Citanul Hierophants and Skyshroud Elf are all wonderful for token decks and fast ramp, although the Elf is only necessary if you have color problems.

Impact Tremors, Suture Priest, Juniper Order Ranger and Champion of Lambholt are good for when spawning massive amounts of creature tokens, and Priest tends to shut down infinite token combos, if those are a thing in your play group.

Mycoloth, Ant Queen, Vitu-Ghazi Guildmage and Rhys the Redeemed are nice for getting a lot of tokens out. Mycoloth in particular has wonderful synergy with Cathars' Crusade!

Mycoid Shepherd and Mayael's Aria are good for when you have more of your large creatures out, or when you've ramped your small ones large enough.

Requiem Angel, Eldrazi Monument, Phyrexian Rebirth and Rootborn Defenses are good for board wipes/anti-board wipes. Rebirth is even more amazing if you run it with cards with populate, such as Vitu-Ghazi Guildmage or Rootborn Defenses.

Shaman of Forgotten Ways and Titanic Ultimatum are both your "one-hit-win-wonders", although Titanic is a little more reliable.

Signal the Clans and Sundering Growth are both good utility cards, while Contagion Engine works wonders with counters on all creatures, plus the added bonus of nuking your opponent's creatures, regardless of shroud or indestructible!
