I'll be first to point out that either your math is questionable, or else I don't quite understand how Doubling Season works. Looking at just the first turn, it seems that casting Cenn's Enlistment would result in four tokens. Using Rhys would then attempt to put four tokens in play, which would then be doubled to eight, leaving a total of 12 tokens (not 16 as mentioned).

No, I don't think it is. Rhys puts a token onto the 'field for each token. There are 4 tokens there, so Rhys tries to put 4 on, and Doubling Season makes him put 8 on instead. He winds up with 12 tokens, not 16. Each subsequent turn his math makes the answer move further away from the correct answer, since he's quadrupling when he should be tripling.
The correct answer is 1,452 tokens.

Yep, my napkin calculations for that were wrong. I'll send in an updated table as I was adding in an extra set of tokens for each step instead of properly accounting for the replacement effect of Doubling Season on Rhys.
This is why I can't have nice things!

What about Doubling Season out, then kicked Rite of Replication on a Precursor Golem?
