First EDH deck build.. be critical, please. I insist.

Some very MtG-knowledgeable friends of mine suggested Rhys as a great commander for a newb like myself. Rhys in particular due to the commander's colors, focus on tokens, and that none of them were currently running a deck with this commander. They are additionally trying to up the ante of their meta (~9 players) so that they might force some of the other, more nonchalant players to: 1) carry more board wipes, 2) carry more card draws, & 3) "git gud", so the meta can really start humming/progressing and leveraging some of the cooler cards that would otherwise be ¯(ツ)/¯unfair¯(ツ)/¯ to folks that don't currently build many "answers" into their decks.

Goal of this deck is to pump out mass tokens, beginning as soon as turn 2 or 3, begin to both buff and multiply them, and go wide AF against the opposition. Being that a high percentage of my creatures on the board will be tokens, many of the creature cards I chose to include either buff creatures, or Wincon via the tokens.. that is if my tokens don't do the trick first. I have a fairly high number of artifacts, enchantments, & sorceries for mana ramp, card draw, & additional creature buff. I also have some reasonably low CMC instants that exile or destroy opponent permanents, blink my creatures, or replace my creatures with formidable comparables should a board wipe occur. Probably doing this entirely wrong so let me know your thoughts, both positive & negative. Thanks in advance
