What is this?
New {G}{W} mechanic in RTR. Essentially it reads "choose a token you control and put a token on the battlefield that is a copy of it."
What gorzo said, but add in {Cackling Counterpart} and you can populate any creature you want. Moohoohaha.
{seance} + {growing ranks}
What happens, or can happen?

Both triggers go on the stack how you choose. Again first in, last out.
Stack growing ranks first then seance.
Seance resolves first, you make a token.
Growing ranks populates a token you control.
End of turn seance trigger still takes place for the token created by seance.
Ah I get it {G}{W} is gunna b nutz
Also, the token copy won't get exiled, only the original token.
But growing ranks needs a target to be on the stack doesnt it? That means you cant populate the seance'd token no matter how you stack it.
Thats the thing, it says choose. So we don't know yet when you choose what to populate, when it goes onto the stack or when it resolves. If you choose as a cost to place it on the stack then you cant populate seance tokens with growing ranks. If you choose on resolution then you can populate them by staking the triggers correctly.
Edit: so after looking at the wording closely i have identified that it does not choose until resolution
