Commander (EDH) forum

I'm looking for some suggestions for cards for my green/white Rhys, the Redeemed commander deck.
I'm looking for some fresh ideas for token makers, the MUST have cards.
So far i've gotten all the obvious ones, Conqurer's Pledge, raise the alarm, elvish promenade, join the ranks, shrine of loyal legions, master's call. But i just started playing again in the Scars block, so some of the older stuff i won't know i need unless i see it or it's suggested. So far the only card i KNOW i need to get is doubling season. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Aura Mutation , Mercy Killing , Acorn Catapult , Centaur Glade , Howl of the Night Pack , Hero of Bladehold , Elspeth, Knight-Errant , Elspeth Tirel , card:Nomads' Assembly, Imperious Perfect , Wurmcoil Engine , Mycoloth , Martial Coup , Elephant Guide , Call of the Herd , Wolfbriar Elemental , Mitotic Slime , Nest Invader , card:Kozilek's Predator, Thelonite Hermit , card:Wren's Run Packmaster, Penumbra Wurm , Penumbra Spider , Penumbra Kavu , Spectral Procession , Captain of the Watch , Emeria Angel , Luminarch Ascension , card:Militia's Pride, Decree of Justice , and so on... there are certainly a lot of options for you.

If you use gatherer don't forget to filter out red, blue, and black cards.

Awesome guys, thanks a lot. I have most of these cards in it already, but Epic Struggle and Parallel Evolution are great cards i've never even seen. I also need to get ahold of a Decree of Justice and a Doubling Season Thanks!

I have a lifegain/token deck hybrid with Rhys the Redeemed as the commander. Check it. rhys Token/Lifegain EDH It can be pretty brutal.

The main problem with Rhys decks is that there are simply too many good cards for it. Innistrad has some interesting stuff, though. Parallel Lives is a good substitute for Doubling Season if you're not feeling like paying $20 for it.

It's really not a good Substitute for Doubling Season - double counters on your walkers means you can make Elspeth's emblem right after she comes into play.
It'll work well in addition to Doubling Season , but it really doesn't replace it.
Buying Doubling Season will be the best $20 you could spend for a Rhys deck.

Not saying Doubling Season isn't awesome, but Parallel Lives will interact the same way with probably more than 50% of the cards in a Rhys deck. Doubling Season is worth the cash, though, and there's no reason not to run both if you're into that.

Useful cards for you: Squirrel Nest , Presence of Gond , Seedborn Muse , Garruk Wildspeaker , Garruk, Primal Hunter , Chatter of the Squirrel , Deranged Hermit , Acorn Harvest , Master of the Wild Hunt , Muraganda Petroglyphs , Epic Struggle , Ant Queen , Parallel Evolution , card:Green Sun's Zenith , Beacon of Creation , Kazandu Tuskcaller .
That's a few off the top of my head. What you could do is search for the word "tokens" in the text of cards using a search engine like Gatherer. Filtering by Community Rating -> Descending will help with that.
