Gather, Shrine, and anthems seem like the obvious two drops. You don't need more than that unless something awesome gets spoiled or you're trying to be cute.

I primarily play limited, so most of my spoiler season comments view cards through that lens.
Jace bounce was a -1. He could do it 3 times before he would die. Liliana can only do it once before having to do her +1. Overall very disappointed with her unless we get Madness.
Crap, you're right, she's not as good as one of the single most overpowered cards ever printed. Unplayable!
Why do you need anything else? That's basically what you want on t2.
Also, trust me. Tokens give two s*#&@ about Ratchet Bomb. You should be running 3-4 DoJ between main and sideboard yourself. It's an annoyance, but it isn't the krytonite people think it is against the deck.
Yeah you're right. Guess it's back to the BW drawing board.
I miss thee, Sculler.
Indeed :(.
I hear tell that there will be a White card with a Black flashback this time around, so maybe we will get some more goodies.
And I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for something better than despise.
Quite frankly, the deck might even want to start running some more Doom Blades, Go for the Throat or even Dead Weight in case control decks start running Thalia excessively.

Seriously, its like people don't realize that there is a GW Tokens subforum where most of this stuff has been worked out already.
Shrine of Loyal Legions and Intangible Virtue are your two drops. If you think you need more then add two Doom Blades. Just like Vishra said. I also run mortarpod as a 2 drop in GW tokens, but if you are running black, I'd play doomblade instead.
This type of deck wants to run sweepers itself, its incredibly good at recovering post-wipe.
To answer "what do you do about ratchet bomb?", the answer is "you cast fresh meat at EOT". Of course that requires green, but I think the best Token deck may just be Junk Colors.
I like the idea of skirsdag high priest. But you need to have at least 4 creatures on the battlefield for him to work. One dying and the other 3 tapping. Seems he might be a bit slow for a token deck.
Well...not quite. You can have only 3 creatures and kill one of your opponent's. Or you have have 3 creatures, one of them being a token producer like Doomed Traveler -- Doomy dies, creates a token, and then you can tap the token for Skirsdag's effect. There are plenty of scenarios that lead to a 3rd turn 5/5 flyer.
The high priest may not be the best 2-drop that B/W tokens has. But I think it's the most aggressive one.

I once farted during the final match for prizes at an FNM. It was a tense moment, everything was quiet, control vs control, I was about to mana leak, thought about it.. and farted. Then mana leaked.

Check out my blog, Swing For Game!
But she also makes non-creatures that we play more expensive.
Yeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaa........no?
Almost all of the spells in the deck are noncreature...you'd basically be kicking yourself in the balls.
Edit: At first I was really happy to see Thalia, because I thought she said noncreature spells are Reduced by 1, but then I sadfaced.
