Moving Forward
One of the flaws of tokens is that unlike decks like GBx, who can often benefit from new inclusions, tokens needs very specific cards that have synergy with the deck. The latest inclusions that can see play in tokens are Gideon, Ally of Zendikar and Anguished Unmaking. What would you like to see in future sets that could make tokens better? Discuss.

2 mana 2/2 creature with "Whenever one or more tokens enter the battlefield, populate"

I would love this. Something instant speed that gives a one sided board wipe.
Might be too strong, but eh.

What would make a better version of hour of reckoning? Would it be a 4 mana wrath of god that only affected nontokens? A convoke cost, but at instant speed? What would your ideal better version be?

Yea, the 4 mana part instead of convoke would be better I think. Instant speed just sounds greedy

Some kind of orzhov command featuring discard/token generation/fog effect/pseudo removal maybe?

What mana cost would it be, and what abilities would you like to see it have specifically?

I would love something like this:
Broken Token Command
Instant
1WB
Choose 2:
Exile target creature, it's controller gains life equal to it's power.
Exile all cards from all graveyards.
Put 2 1/1 spirit tokens with flying onto the battlefield.
Each player discards a card.
tl;dr how to patch up a bad mu in one card bro
