Good one drop for Simic, plus the counter is still relevant later. Cytoplast Manipulator FTW.

Chump blocker for Green

in the early game, 1/1 counter in the late game.

Actually Graft + Persist = epic lulz

even better... t1: simic initiate. t2: swing, drop pit-skulk and graft it for a 3/3 that can't be chumped. =D

Pretty much a must for any Graft deck. 3/3 Aquastrand Spiders on your second turn or 7/8 Nulltread Gargantuans on your third are possible thanks to this and Llanowar Reborn.
Graft may in some cases be slow, but with the right deck its pretty powerful - and at least it's pretty fun.

Useful card regardless of game state: Early chump blocker or small stat boost for bigger one later on 3/5

Can also trigger morbid effects. Say you wanted to trigger all 3 counters from a Hunger of the Howlpack once you've grafted your Slumbering Dragon.

If you play a creature with Flash after blockers are declared, this guy can be both a chump blocker and a +1/+1 counter. Great value.

I prefer slitherhead, but each has its uses.
