This looks very fast and crazy big! Who even thought of a commander like that?!?!? +1!
If you're open to recommendations, here are some potential powerhouses. Iridescent Hornbeetle could play into your "Number of creatures" synergies. Clamavus would grow so fast it's not even funny.

Mikaeus, the Lunarch might have a little more synergy with your deck than Victory's Envoy since you can keep making him into a bigger beater with Bright-Palm and you can use his tap abilities more often alongside Drumbellower.
And since you don't seem to be avoiding infinite combos, Scurry Oak and Herd Baloth combo with Cathars' Crusade can produce as many tokens as you want. You could also swap out either Renata, Called to the Hunt or Good-Fortune Unicorn for a Ivy Lane Denizen, which can also combo with the Oak and Baloth.
If you don't want to add more infinite combos to the deck but still want some strong plays, it might be worth checking out Iridescent Hornbeetle. It can produce a very strong board very quickly in conjunction with Cathars' Crusade or Mikaeus, the Lunarch.
NO0B90O0 on Gluntch and Iridescent Hornbeetle interaction …

I am in a situation where a player has Gluntch, the Bestower and Iridescent Hornbeetle on the field and no one can figure out if Iridescent Hornbeetle can get the insects off of Gluntch giving 1/1 counters to himself

carpecanum Cephalid Constable looks like it would fit in very nicely, though one of my major focusses with this deck was a low budget. I'd absolutely put it in otherwise.
Tanazir Quandrix and Acidic Slime's mana cost are a little too high for me for what they do, I've tried to keep the curve relatively low.
Cold-Eyed Selkie, Herald of Secret Streams, Iridescent Hornbeetle, Managorger Hydra, Sakura-Tribe Elder and Trygon Predator have all been subbed in. Thanks a lot!

Cephalid Constable (a little pricey), Tanazir Quandrix and Cold-Eyed Selkie benefit from counters
Acidic Slime, Herald of Secret Streams, Iridescent Hornbeetle, Managorger Hydra, Sakura-Tribe Elder and Trygon Predator are all useful and have creature types I did not see above.

lhetrick13 and Bulldawg1310 Thanks so much for the suggestions. For some context, this deck was based on my even less focused old deck. I wanted to redo it and most of these cards were ones I already had. As for the focus, I’m more sold on the tokens and healing. I have so many counters mostly because my main token generators (Iridescent Hornbeetle and Mycoloth) used them so I’m happy to drop that. I quite like the look of Brimaz, King of Oreskos and Basri Ket. One note that I would like to add is that I want to keep the deck relatively cheap. Or at least have small chunks of new cards to buy in order to improve it. Once again thank you so much for the comments and I'm excited to see where we can take this deck.

TheStoneRaptor - I have a few suggestions I can share but keep in mind, I am by no means an expert so take all my advice/suggestions with a grain of salt.
-
You have a very high mana curve with a average CMC of 3.95..this is a very slow deck. Also to your disadvantage, you are not running much in terms of "interaction" beside Aim High + Plummet , which is not exactly efficient. Regardless of what you do here, you will need to likely lower your mana curve to either speed up the deck or add in more interactions.
-
You are running more than 60 cards, I would not recommend this as it is a trap...usually. Most decks are built around a few cards that you want to draw every game for the deck to work at its best, adding in more cards just lowers the probability of drawing the cards you really want.
-
It seems like you have a few themes with this deck. I see Essence Warden so think Soul Sisters...I see some +1/+1 counter synergy...AND I see token creation. I would pick a theme and really hone in on it. The deck will run much smoother.
-
Some suggestions for trimming down the mana curve. Darien, King of Kjeldor, Emmara Tandris, Iridescent Hornbeetle, Mycoloth are all almost at least 5 CMC and create tokens in some manner. I would recommend removing most of these cards and replacing them with something similar. Some great options include Brimaz, King of Oreskos, Esika's Chariot, Anointed Procession, Parallel Lives, Intangible Virtue, etc. The same goes for Planeswalkers...you have Ajani, Valiant Protector who throws around +1/+1 counters and Elspeth, Sun's Champion. I would take these out and maybe replace with maybe Basri Ket or just drop them entirely.
Hopefully something I mentioned you will find helpful. If seeing something similar might help, I do run a +1/+1 counter deck (I'll Raise you +1/+1...) and specifically a cat theme token deck (Feline Feelings. Take a look at those for some inspriation. They are not perfect by any means by they are fun an effective.
Good luck and happy brewing!

Once again thank you so much KongMing ^-^/
I have added Biomass Mutation right away since I really love the card! Especially since it's an Instant, I'm sure it can become a suprise kill.
I have thought about Iridescent Hornbeetle since I do have one in my collection, but I'm not sure if it will stick well enough to the table in my Pod to be worth the 5 mana... Probably gonna playtest it anyways tho!
Idk why but Plaxcaster Frogling is hilarious to me xD Love the lil' Dude! I'll have to see how the deck does with the protection I currently have but I'm happy to have some backup options for sure!
Walking Ballista used to be in the list but ultimately ended up simply being a flavour cut.
