My playgroup decided to allow the Ravnica Nephilims as commanders, so I decided to put an Ink-Treader deck together.The focus of the deck is to draw cards and generate tokens to fuel Ink-Treader's multi-targeting.These are the token generators currently in the deck:

AEther Mutation: Bounces all creatures and gives you 1/1 saprolings equal to the total CMC of creatures bounced, be careful with this as it bounces your Ink-Treader and makes him vulnerable to counter spells as you replay him.

Afterlife: Kills all creatures and gives the owner a 1/1 Spirit token. This is a board wipe that preserves the number of creatures on the battlefield, great for dealing with threats without losing fuel for your Ink-Treader. This force you to pay the commander tax to replay Ink-Trader in addition it also suffers from the same risk as AEther Mutation.

Akroan Horse: It creates N - 1 1/1 Soldier Tokens every turn where N is the number of players, great for fueling Ink-Treader.

Beast Within: Kills all creatures and gives the owner a 3/3 Beast Token. This can be a board wipe that preserves the creature count, or just used to destroy any permanent. If used in response to Refresh with the Refresh copies targeting your creatures having already resolved and the copies targeting your opponents creatures still on the stack this is also a one-sided creature replacement. Unfortunately, if you do this your Ink-Treader will die as the original l Refresh will resolve last.

Benevolent Offering: Creates 6 1/1 Spirit Tokens and has the potential to give you a lot of life as you will generally have more tokens than most opponents.

Curse of the Swine: Can be "just" a normal "exile x creatures" spell that leaves tokens, or an "exile all creatures" when cast for UU1 targeting Ink-Treader. Good versatile removal.

Decree of Justice: You will mostly use the cycle ability here, 2W + X for X 1/1 Soldier Tokens and a card draw is not bad.

Heat Shimmer: Gives you a hasty copy of each creature on the board, great for alpha strikes when combined with tap effects like Niveous Wisps or Crippling Chill.

Increasing Devotion: 5 1/1 Soldiers for 5 mana, with the possible flashback for 10 more tokens. Good midgame fuel for Ink-Treader.

Myr Battlesphere: 5 creatures for 7 mana, one of which is a pretty good beater, the Battlesphere turns into an exceptional beater if the tokens are copied again, or Parallel Lives is on the battlefield.

Nacatl War-Pride: Creatures a copy of itself for each creature defending player controls on attack. Great for instant speed shenanigans or just straight up beatdown..

Parallel Lives: Makes no tokens by itself, but doubles the efficiency of our other token producers.

Rapid Hybridization: Like Beast Within, but can only target creatures.

Sylvan Offering: For GX it produces X * 2 + 2 tokens. Our most efficient "X mana cost" token producer.

Talrand, Sky Summoner: Produces a 2/2 Drake Token every time you cast a spell. Not a very explosive token generator, but gives incremental value

Xenagos, the Reveler: Can produce a 2/2 Satyr Token with his +0 ability. However, he will mostly be used for explosive mana ramp using his +1 ability.

Spawning Breath: Combined token generation and explosive mana ramp. Wipes the board of toughness 1 creatures and gives you a 0/1 eldrazi token that an be sacrificed for mana for each creature on the battlefield, potentially doubling the number of creatures on the board.

Spitting Image: One of the best token generators in the deck. It gives you a copy of every creature on the battlefield, doubling the number of creatures (almost double as you have to sacrifice any copies of legendary creatures already under your control) and can be recast from the graveyard for the additional cost of discarding a land.

Supplant Form: but trades retrace for bouncing the board. Very good for alpha strikes if you somehow can give your creatures haste (Not currently supported by this deck).

Springjack Pasture: Can create a token for 4 mana, often inefficient, but can sometimes be relevant. Can also sacrifice Goat Tokens for life and mana.

Khalni Garden: Creates a 0/1 Plant Token on ETB, good for chump blocking or early Ink-Treader fuel.

Vitu-Ghazi, the City-Tree: Like Springjack Pasture it produces a token for 4 mana, but trades the potential lifegain and ramp for 1 more power.

One of the main things you will use these tokens for, other than the occasional beatdown, is to be targets for your card draw spells having Ink-Treader on the battlefield along with a couple of tokens will allow you to draw insane amounts of cards with single target cantrip spells. The card draw suite is as follows:
