I've just returned to playing Magic and EDH recently after a 3 year hiatus! I love green and white and wanted to do something with these colors in commander. I found a lot of good synergies with tokens, lifegain, and pumping out more tokens or superpowering creatures with my life total. I didn't want to run cards like Felidar Sovereign, as I find strategies like that rather boring, especially in Commander.
Since I'd consider myself still a newbie at this point, any and all tips or strategies that align with this deck's goal are much appreciated. A friend has already helped me quite a bit by giving me card suggestions. I'm currently at 101 cards, so looking for a card to cut at the very least.
I see you're running Rhox Faithmender. Have you considered trying a Boon Reflection? You said you don't like the idea of Felidar Sovereign effects. Did you mean any "I win the game" effect, or specifically those related to life total? If it's just life total you could consider running Epic Struggle, as it's quite a bit more interactive than plopping down a Test of Endurance at 4k life. I'd also like to mention Champion of Lambholt because in a token gen deck she can get huge fast, and everyone likes being unblockable.
Your creature curve seems to be very high, and I'm only seeing one ramp spell right now. I would consider Wood Elves and Sakura-Tribe Elder variants for increased ramp.
I'm going to play around with adding the suggested cards. I definitely need some more ramp, and Seance looks pretty great.
@AJediKnight, I guess "I win the game" is kind of unfun in general, but especially winning the game from life total. Epic Struggle is a possibility, since my opponents would be more likely to have tried to wipe my board a few times before I could achieve that win.

StaffYour creature curve seems to be very high, and I'm only seeing one ramp spell right now. I would consider Wood Elves and Sakura-Tribe Elder variants for increased ramp.
Also consider buffing up the draw suite a bit, perhaps with Tireless Tracker and Ulvenwald Mysteries. My own Trostani deck has had large success with Elemental Bond and Garruk's Packleader.
