I've been tinkering quite a bit with different Selesnya builds in MTGA since the Open Beta release. I am in the same boat as you, missing a few cards for both Midrange and Tokens, and don't get me started on the mana base, but overall both variations seem to carry a lot of potential into the new Standard format, but Golgari seem to be the place to go for Midrange atm, as the creatures just bring more immediate value there. I've actually considered a black splash for Abzan tokens, as our mana base seem to be quite flexible, but for now I will focus on Selesnya.

My observations from reading/playing for the different CMC spots (sorry for the bulky text, I've just had this on my mind a lot):

1CMC:
There is a lot of different approaches here. Some aim for the T2 Benalia following Temple Garden > Llanowar Elves allowing for insane curving, others go for 1/1 generating one drops, a third option is including Dauntless Bodyguard to help Emmara/Shalai/Anthems while also getting boosted by Benalia, or just going for the new powerhouse Pelt Collector. Honestly, I don't know which way suits me better, currently just going with the bodyguards. Another consideration is the inclusion of 2-4x Flower//Flourish and whether or not they warrant replacing lands.

2CMC:
Most decks include some copies of Emmara, and almost every deck I've seen with Emmara has 4x Conclave Tribunal + 3-4x Venerated Loxodon (mega payoff) in the main for the convoke part, with Seal/End/Ixalan in the side for more specific answering. I've seen people go back and forth when it comes to Saproling Migration. Overall it is not such a powerful card, but when the goal is to hit March of the Multitudes, all extra bodies sure does help and it has a kicker for later. I've even seen arguments for District Guide at 3CMC as it is a convoke body + a land for March. I've seen some ignore March of the Multitudes entirely (surprisingly), going for the protection/comeback in Assure//Assemble (I am currently using 2x of each with varying success). I've only seen some decks featuring Song of Freyalise and the consensus seems to be that it is redundant when we have March, as it doesn't help us cast either Venerated Loxodon or March itself.

3CMC:
Knight of Autumn is just incredibly flexible, I've usually had 2 maindeck and I've seen some play 4x main, but maybe this is just a sideboard card as more often than not it is just a weaker Steel Leaf... Benalish really helps against Chainwhirlers, but I've yet to include either the marshal or the Valiant Knight myself. I probably should get around to it, but I am focusing on the mana base atm. Rares take a long time to grind in MTGA. History of Benalia is still insane both in Midrange and Tokens, and usually a 4x. Your inclusion of make a stand is interesting and I am surprised I haven't seen it before, as it really helps vs all the sweepers exept for Settle the Wreckage. I might have to include this, as I was already considering to include Pride of Conquerors as they did in the Much Abrew article (https://www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/much-abrew-selesnya-tokens-standard). They also speak highly of both Saproling Migration and District Guide here, and they go for the 4x Flower//Flourish.

4CMC:
Conclave Cavalier has proved to be very strong for me. I am currently playing 4x, as BG and UR seems to be growing in popularity in Standard, both of which mostly has destroy effects and less exile based removal. The Vigilance is a bonus that let's you attack and still have the body for Convoke. I've been using 2x Shalai both in Midrange and in tokens, but I've noticed that they have been moved to the sideboard in the above article. I've never seen Settle the Wreckage main decked in an aggro/token deck before, but this is perhaps just for the meta at your FNM? To me it feels as if it would be a dead card too much of the time, but definitely a contender for the sideboard alont with Citywide Bust (I favor this, as I don't have to worry about my Cavaliers dying, and the elephant has already done it's job if it has been resolved).

5CMC:
Venerated Loxodon is super strong, and everyone seem to be catching on, going for 4x. It's not really a 5-drop at all and makes the curve really fast. Trostani seems great, I've only had her as a 1x so far, but Dimir seems to be establishing itself in Standard using ther opponent's decks against them, so there is a lot to gain here in both bodies, anthem and anti-theft.

I would appreciate your opinions/experience so far with the token build =)
