Hey, fairly new to MTG and mostly been playing Standard during that time. This is my first foray into Commander so I will appreciate any and all advice you can offer. Thanks in advance!

Token Deck Name

I used to play Oviya, and I can tell you that the best way to play the deck is a combination of artifacts and tokens. Go onto EDHrec.com, and look up her deck, and you'll see what I mean. It was a blast to play. Yeah, there are some expensive cards there, but don't worry about those for now. Focus on what you can afford.

Looks like you're missing three very important things in EDH: Ramp, Removal, and Draw.

Sol Ring is a card found in pretty much every EDH deck.

Temple of the False God could be helpful.

Moss Diamond isn't the best, but it makes colored mana.

Emerald Medallion is useful in a mono-colored deck.

Prism Ring isn't ramp, but it's good in a mono colored deck also.

Green isn't the best with creature removal, but it is good at destroying artifacts & enchantments.

Acidic Slime is in a lot of green decks.

Nessian Demolok can help with annoying artifacts while Nessian Wilds Ravager can get rid of most creatures (unless their tribute is payed).

Green is good at getting very large creatures, so hopefully you won't have to worry about creature removal.

Card advantage is easy to get in green, but I think it's usually attached to some other card ability, like Bonds of Mortality.

For spells just for card draw, Collective Unconscious, Shamanic Revelation, and Regal Force can be fun if you're making lots of tokens.
