I think cutting out some big creatures and token generators is a good thing. The wonderful thing about ghave is that he makes a very nice amount of tokens on his own.

Switch up the Mikaeus you have for Mikaeus, the Unhallowed better all around for your deck in general.

Also cards like Pentavus , Liliana's Reaver , Worldspine Wurm , Wayfaring Temple , and Vitu-Ghazi Guildmage could totally be cut.

Undying cards are very very good in this type of deck though, you can make a whole lot of tokens with cards like Young Wolf or Geralf's Messenger work amazing with ghave. Plus with ashnods altar out its an infinite token combo.

I'm not going to really tell you everything to take out though, but you could cut down on creatures, particularly big dumb do-nothings. And mostly all of your tokens should be coming from ghave, but keep back ups to. Just don't overdo it.

Nickyorany thanks for suggestion. Deck that I want to build is based on spamming tokens so removing token generators is quite senseless IMO. Although I can agree about cutting Liliana's Reaver and Wayfaring Temple . They are among the first on possible to remove list

Nah, token generators are fine and all but you have to consider at what cost. Worldspine Wurm I feel will never go online unless. Xathrid Necromancer is neat but how many humans are you actually running to make him viable. Grave Titan is a far better card than the necromancer. When you decide on what cards to cut, make sure you keep in mind how cost effective you can make them. Are they worth the mana you are spending?

That's why I removed them from my deck. Well Worldspine Wurm is still under consideration...

I used to run a saproling deck try Pendelhaven , Skullclamp , Aura Shards , Mycoloth , Gravepact, Butcher of Malakir , Grave Titan , Verdant Force , Creakwood Liege , Verdeloth the Ancient , Regal Force , Vigor

my advice Cellar Door , Trostani, Selesnya's Voice are less than efficient and probably try to replace Swiftfoot Boots with Lightning Greaves

@TheSporeGuru I'm making token deck not saproling deck. Still I must say that Creakwood Liege and Aura Shards will be added when I'll find what to swap (I need a spot for Avacyn, Angel of Hope as well...I would have agreed about Cellar Door but i tested against agro edh and it is rather nice token maker with constant chance on milling good cards from opponent.
