I'm thinking about building a token EDH deck, but I don't know where to start. I'm sure the color Green will be a part of it, but beyond that I'm not sure of much!

Combo Ghave, Guru of Spores is going to be the most competitive token deck. I have linked my friend's Ghave deck below if you want ideas on how to build it.

Ghave or Marath are both token combo decks with the potential to be disgusting.
If you're looking for explosive beatdown, Titania is pretty underrated.
If you want non-green, there's always Edgar Markov.

Najeela is easily the strongest token commander, but she isn't played the same as most token decks.

tbf no cEDH deck that uses tokens uses them in the classic token way! but yes Najeela is the strongest IMHO

If you’re more budget conscious, a mono-red Krenko, Mob Boss build can be pretty explosive without a lot of investment. It’s not nearly as high-end competitive as Ghave or Najeela, but it can still be loads of fun, especially if board wipes aren’t plentiful in your meta.

Prossh, Skyraider of Kher can be pretty good also, and plays pretty similarly to ghave.

If you are looking for something simic, maybe Edric, Spymaster of Trest ?

Tymna/Tana blood pod uses token synergies and is better than Ghave, Prossh, Krenko, or Marath statistically.

Ghave, Guru of Spores is pretty up there in the way of power level. Though most competitive decks (Ghave included) will leverage tokens to combo out, rather than try and go down the beats route.
