There's already a lot of good advice on this topic, but I'll add a bit more.  Worm harvest can get to be a nasty token producer late game, as well as orochi hatchery . You want repeatable token production, not 1 time use spells (with a few exceptions). For example, sprout swarm is much better than scatter the seeds . Other tutor effects you might consider could be brutalizer exarch and rune-scarred demon . With a 100 card deck full of singletons, it's handy to find the exact card you need, when you need it. Also, games tend to go long in commander, so the graveyard gets quite thick. Simple cards like rise from the grave can often get you the best creature in either player's deck. Mana fixing is a must; cultivate or kodama's reach help immensly. There are plenty of other options both in and outside of green that you might like better, however. Finally, on a side note, the core set titans are very versatile and should be considered in your list.

Since noone else has directly pointed this out, i'll help sort through cards that should NOT be on your list. Creatures like cunning sparkmage, putrid leech and ember hauler have very small effects, and arent worth a card in a commander setting. They are quickly outclassed by later threats, and the damage they might get in before  then is negligable compared to the 40 life starting total. Small effects like the quest for pure flame and pyroclasm arent worth a slot in your deck either; the quest only double damage from 1 source, but a token deck focuses on overruning the opponent with multiple different creatures. Another token producer would be better. Pyroclasm is an anti token card, so it makes no sense to include it in a token deck. Hope this helps!
I don't post much anymore.

I know we're throwing a lot at you, but I like Infernal Tribute to make the most out of chump blockers and anything that's about to be wiped out by a board sweep.

All the information I can get is amazing, and what I am here for. As such since the first post I am now refocusing from Overrun to a Kreshrifice ( Kresh the Bloodbraid Tokken Sac deck). So please keep the info coming.

Also Attrition + Grave Pact = broken. Sac 1 token, target player loses 2 cretures wile everyone elces loses 1. Not bad when concidering your army would easly outnumber the enemy.
Penumbra Spider has been useful since it brings out a token replica (black not green) which can be used for double sacroficing or anti-air.
Nantuko Husk if he gets Trample in late game, just swing and then sac as many tokens you need for a finisher.
Spidersilk Armor Since dragons seem to be popular, it's a good idea to give your guys Reach
