Orzhov Spirit Tokens

Love a good spirit deck, and nice to see a new commander doing it!
I think you've got some great cards in there that probably don't work as well as you want them to. Luminous Angel is incredibly expensive for a 4/4 flyer that might generate 2-3 tokens. By the time you put it down that's just not a relevant amount. Oyobi, Who Split the Heavens Is in very much the same boat. Because it only happens on casting, it can at most happen 5 times, as that's the amount of spirits you have to cast (and you have no arcane spells). Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite Is a fantastic card but can occasionally create friction at the table. I don't necessarily suggest that you cut it, but do consider it. It can easily create an environment where some people are unable to play their decks at all until it is delt with.
A bit of the same but Long-Forgotten Gohei definitely fits, but you only have 6 spirit spells and no arcane spells, so you're only using half of it. Etchings of the Chosen is the same price but has an extra ability. You may just want to run both though?
The first thing for additions are the token doublers. These will really help you capitalise on your commander as they will act upon each instance. So instead of casting Triplicate Spirits and getting a rather underwhelming 3, you instead get 6. Then at the end of turn you get another 6... only this is doubled as well, instead of 3, you get 18.Mondrak, Glory Dominus and Anointed Procession are the standouts here, although they are pretty pricy in real world dollars.
Overall though, I feel your ways of generating tokens is very on theme, but not very sustainable. A key thing that you might have missed is that your commander generate spirits for each tokens you make, not spirit tokens. So Collector's Vault, makes a treasure token, free spirit. You have a huge amount of ways to make tokens but a lot of them are humans or other some such (Call the Coppercoats, Martial Coup) so they may not be on brand. Look into ways you can make those one or two treasure / clue / food tokens as you just otherwise play normally.
A conspicuous absence is any of the Teysas. Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts is expensive but fun. Teysa, Opulent Oligarch is much cheaper and synergises VERY well with your commander. Teysa, Orzhov Scion requires a bit more of the black/white spirits, but might still work very well. Teysa Karlov doesn't synergise super well, but has good abilities regardless and certainly isn't a bad pick. The Kaya planeswalkers also often deal with white black spirits as well as having a bit of control so they might be good to look at Kaya the Inexorable being the standout.
another fun card that is changed entirely by your commander Afterlife Insurance and having any method of sacrificing your spirits changes it from just saving those spirits, to doubling their amount. It would go well with Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim, but that starts to lean more into aristocrats than pure spirit tokens.
Another thing is that a lot of white ramp works well with bounce or sac land, you've got the obvious one but you might be able to increase it with Lotus Field
and Lotus Vale. Things like Land Tax is a staple for white, but even when you're just running Priest of the Blessed Graf they can help you make him work.
My final point is that you don't seem to have a good way of protecting your quite expensive commander. Your group might not place that big an emphasis on commanders, but it's more fun if she sticks around. There are the old standouts of Lightning Greaves and Swiftfoot Boots, but there are a lot of options.

If I have a Long-Forgotten Gohei in play, and I want to cast a Shapesharer , how many mana do I have to pay to play it ?
Same question with a Long-Forgotten Gohei and a Nameless Inversion .

You're welcome :)
I really like the nastiness going on here, I guess I'll come up with more ideas soon. In the mean time:
Blinking Spirit is a must-include basically.
Jeweled Spirit is pretty sick with Martyr's Bond.

The only problem with adding this subtheme is that the only "tribal" payoff for Arcane is Long-Forgotten Gohei, but since it costs it's pretty difficult to get out.

hungry000,I understand that Long-Forgotten Gohei might not be the best card choice here. Probably Honor of the Pure is better even if I'm running spirits and Devouring Greed. I'm not opposed to change it. The reason why I'm not including Sorin, Solemn Visitor, Bitterblossom, etc... is that my purpose is not to make a really competitive deck. Let's say that my aim is to build a deck around a concept in the best way possible and in this case the concept was to make a different version of the competitive BW Tokens decks that only runs spirit tokens to take advantage of Devouring Greed.
I don't know if I explained myself well or if it even make sense, but that's the reason I'm not putting Sorin in the list.

Looks a lot better, but I'd play planeswalkers like Sorin, Solemn Visitor over Long-Forgotten Gohei. Tokens really benefits from having value-generating cards since making value is the area they excel in, and your deck stands to gain a lot more from having planeswalkers (which serve as win conditions in their own right) over a card that's effectively a worse Honor of the Pure that only discounts a couple cards in the entire deck.

Very cool deck. One cards that should help a lot is Locket of Yesterdays and another to consider is Long-Forgotten Gohei . You might be able to find other neat interractions by looking into Haakon commander decks. Just remember to check if the cards you find are modern legal. Another idea is adding the Spellweaver Helix + Dark Petition + Raven's Crime combo.
