How valuable are creature manatokens?

Dear people from Tapped Out,
I have been very excited about constructing an Eldrazi Tribal deck. This will be my second deck, I will take a considerate amount of time to carefully construct this investment.
I have come as far to construct a reasonable mana base (still up for change if needed) and a few cards to help me through early game. I still want to include cards like Explosive Vegetation and Descendants' Path .
I have defined a strategy:
- Early game: ramp mana, cast Animar, Soul of Elements
- Mid game: protect Animar, cast small creatures and tutor big ones or fix card advantage
- End game: cast the big creatures, end it.
My question arose when I was evaluating cards like: Drowner of Hope , Rapacious One and Brood Monitor , which create manatokens. These are all cards with CMC ≥5. Thus I consider these cards castable mid-game. According to my strategy I want to create manaramp (e.g. manatokens) earlygame, not midgame
This conflict made me think to myself: How valuable is creating tokens? What is your guys' opinions, are these tokencreators worth keeping in my deck and should I change strategy or do I just toss em out?
All feedback is welcome! I'd love to hear your opinion.
