One of the newer token producers that I can think of is Charismatic Conqueror, but that's not necessarily guaranteed token production. It might be worth looking at more spell-slinger focused Extus, Oriq Overlord Flip or Jetmir, Nexus of Revels decks, since some of the builds I've seen irl tend to use spell-slinging based token production to support the token production on creatures that are mostly in the 3+ cmc range.
- Secure the Wastes, but even then it needs at least 2-3 in the X to feel worth it.
Yeah, Sov Okinec is a little confusing at first. You are correct in your 2nd comment. Let's say Sov Okinec attacks, and you have a Walking Ballista with 2 +1/+1 counters already on it. Sov Okinec would give Ballista another 2 +1/+1 counters, since Ballista's base power is 0. It will continue to balloon from there.
I currently run Sov Okinec and Kutzil in my Gylwain, Casting Director deck, since all role auras provide a baseline +1/+1 buff

I've been a huge fan of Extus, Oriq Overlord Flip & Queen Marchesa. Good colors to put the pinch on some life totals.

I like this. I actually am a big fan of the "better them than me" attitude. Kardur, Doomscourge is a big fan of it too. I just build decks that lend themselves to Machiavellian politics & opponents often pick up on that & will even respect it, after all we are all enemies. It is crazy how many players will think their deals out loud -- Seriously, don't announce your preference for another player in a FFA game, it will backfire eventually. I mostly find "alliances" to be dumb in FFA, the balance of power always shifts, but when a player hears you trying to decide their fate & pick apart their board in a weaselly way; you run the risk of making an enemy that will now destroy you at any cost. When you straight up slap people without collusion, at least you are doing it without "ganging up" & there is a powerful political + emotional implication associated with that. The worst is when collusion is going above & beyond what was actually needed to balance the scales of power & now one of those players just wasted a bunch of their hand going way beyond what was needed.
Fortunately, "alliances" never get proposed to me any more, with newer players that don't know me better it will get attempted, but it often backfires for them. The way I typically reason; if someone is proposing a deal to me, then they have something big to gain that will screw the table over in some way. The player that has the most invested in the game will be the first to speak up & that is going to be the player I want to go for. You don't barter or propose unless you have some hope in hand. I have to worry the most about wasted damage if a player is completely indifferent to a beatdown.
For frame of reference though, my decks tend to force a lot of action, or will use a groupslug element. Very few combos, no tutors in my favorite decks anyway... So, there is not alot of margin for error in decks that are trying to force the game into a midrange back-&-forth slugfest.
Kardur, Doomscourge - I leave timmie creature, swing-wide, or voltron decks to "play their game", but I need to try to eliminate a player if they are too heavy in the 2ndary wincon category, or tapdown decks like Lathril, Blade of the Elves
Extus, Oriq Overlord Flip - Somewhat light in late-game engines/card advantage, I need to pick the right player after my blowout spells.
Breena, the Demagogue - True aggro, proliferate, late game superfriends. Constant attacking from turn 3 & up. There is alot of lifelink & vigilance (poop-tier evergreen) & a really good aggro attack trigger. So logically, with advantage gained from attacks & no drawback from attacking - I should use that to put significant pressure on the right player.

I've been screwed way too many times stringing a player along in the past. Way too many: looks like someone is being picked on because they are being slapped when they are open for business (because all they have in their decks are setup pieces with a banger - by design), so you feel bad & frig off, then thoracle or a more casual dominance piece comes out. There just seems to be so many decks out there that will just lock people out if you "let them all do their thing". There is a big difference though in identifying what decks are setting up & will stop you dead by-design unless you remove the player & what decks are just flat-out floundering.
I've had voltron players come at me like a spider monkey before when I was playing Extus, Oriq Overlord Flip, as they should, repeatedly awakening the blood avatar will completely nullify their strategy & the only option they are seeing is to remove me from the game.
Gleeock on Your Cheap Obscure Overperformers?

Last_Laugh Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin, himself is a overperformer, though he is less & less obscure now. He is kind of ridiculous as a general go-wide enabler & can make himself pretty tall pretty quickly with benefits to making him tall. He has been a "must answer" threat in Extus, Oriq Overlord Flip as well. Kindof feels good when your "must answer" threats are somewhat disposable like that. I also love that he does not need goblin tribal to be awesome, just solid in the 99 for various decks.

Yeah, in my playgroup, since Koma, Cosmos Serpent is fair game - Mob Rule & other mass control grabbers are fair game. But, my favorite thing with Extus, Oriq Overlord Flip is versatility & differences of buildability. I also like how you can sub strategize more effectively with him than other hyper-focused decks. For exampl,e I have changed my whole focus for a game by starting with a Shadowspear in hand - that puppy is hilarious strapped onto a blood avatar. Or I have started with a sword of x/y & actually started with the Extus side just because of double-striking sword-wielding commander is a solid way to go.

Duke Ulder Ravengard is fun.. He doesn't help your mana cost average any though. I've done good agro work with Zariel, Archduke of Avernus for hasty, pingy, easy ulty fun. Too bad you can cast Extus, Oriq Overlord Flip's flip side multiple times.
Gleeock on How Many EDH Decks Do …

12 - My Home Depot tool box fits that many :)
In my regular group there are a couple of dads, a new dad, & college students. There is a variety of high quality proxies (easy to make) & a variety of budgets. Pretty much no rhyme or reason on which decks have the most expensive cards. My more competitive deck has some proxied duals even though I have the actual duals in a few power tiers below that deck :) I don't think I have that much time to organize decks very often anymore.
Of the 12 I only get time enough to play maybe 5 of them regularly though. The 5 that I come back to are:
Atla Palani, Nest Tender - Direct damage "tribal" - near cEDH
Now that I know what I like, I am starting to sell off my overstock, mostly at lower price to friends & coworkers because I don't really need to lose out to the middle-man LGS & I don't need store credit for the occasional single that I pick up
