Its a very strange union of decks. I have a Token deck, but i find it weak at controlling the battlefield. Also, I didnt want to use counterspells as the Esper version does. So I watched lists of another top tier, a deck whose answers to almost every matchup never end: Jund.

With these info I built this list of token that uses Young Pyromancer and Monastery Mentor (Delver / Esper Token) to assemble the battlefield. The fuel of these two cards are the various spells I can rely on (many removals, 6 discard cards and some other stuff). The average mana cost is low, so I can afford to put the Dark Confidant too, in order to have the hand always full.

Summing up the whole thing, this deck ends the game like a Delver / Esper Token and controls the battlefield (keeping the hand always full) more or less like a top tier Jund.

Final notes: Liliana, Defiant Necromancer   is needed to both control opponent's hand and to reanimate pyromancer and mentor (which are very vulnerable against removals); Butcher of the Horde can end alone the game in some situations, not to mention the fact he can gain lifelink. Any suggestion and/or upvote is more than appreciated.

--MAINBOARD--

-1 Liliana, Heretical Healer; -1 Zulaport Cutthroat; +1 Lightning Helix; +1 Kolaghan's Command

--SIDEBOARD--

-1 Kolaghan's Command; +1 Wear / Tear

2 creatures out in order to put more "fuel" for Mentor and Pyromancer. I decided for the 4th Lightning Helix because I feel I have not enough lifegain; speaking about the Kolaghan's Command, it's just a jolly, it can basically do the same tasks Liliana could do, with the fact that it triggers the token spawn, while Liliana can't, not to mention the space created in sideboard for some more hate for artifacts / enchantments.
