The flavor text is kinda stupid. Plants have adapted to being eaten. It's called fruit.
But this card is truly awesome and a must-have for Jund decks!

I like sprouting thrinax a lot for anti removal, and chump blockers. Of course, if thrinax gets blocked and killed a simple pyroclasm will kill the saprolings. It's maybe not the most amazing creature I've ever seen, but its best for its utility, in which there are many combos. Obviously any card that gives a buff to every creature you control only makes the three saprolings all the better. Cards that trigger when a creature enters play also activate three times when the thrinax dies. Creakwood liege seems like a good choice, your thrinax becomes 5/5, and it creates its own tokens, then the saprolings come into play as 2/2.
@ arachi.. its not a plant, its a lizard that sprouts saprolings that you can see on its back, aka the lizard adapted.

I got a promo version of this guy from a DCI judge at an anime con, since then, he's been ebony to Soul Foundry's ivory. Love the flavour of any creature breaking off into tiny creatures and personally, I'd give this gy 5/5 just for continued usefulness.

I play with someone who has a bunch of these in his Jund deck. It is always is a pain trying to get rid of his creatures with Fleshbag marauders when this hits the board.

To say I hate this thing is a true understatement. It's a control player's biggest headache to have to deal with three damage coming across not once, but twice.
This thing is such a pain in the arse...and if you let this resolve, be prepared to face a world of hurt.
Tip: If you play blue, have the open mana, and don't Essence Scatter / Flashfreeze this, you, sir, fail.
And when you're playing Jund, you don't even want to waste a Path to Exile this; that's one turn closer to that OTHER giant pain in the arse, Broodmate Dragon.
"Ugh" is a perfectly acceptable response to this hitting the board. So bloody annoying, and one of the primary reasons I hate Jund and can't wait to see it die when Shards rotates this fall. >:V

@Louisianaxlimey . . . I've seen that card it's pretty awesome, you can see the "sprouting" a lot better actually on that art. I like the art on this card because he looks really tough (which he is lol), but the other one depicts the actually mechanic the card uses a little better. Oh, and it's a foil! All in all, this card rocks man! I love the direction Magic has gone in since I've been out of it. It's been like ten years since I've played and I barely came back about three months ago. But oh man does it feel good to be back!
Turn 1: Bloodhall Ooze Turn 2: Bloodhall Ooze Turn 3: Sprouting Thrinax Turn 4: Scarland Thrinax Turn 5: Kresh etc Once those cards are out just have the bloodhalls get stronger while the sprouters feed the Scarlands and kresh gets stronger from all the eating Not tournament but at least it doesnt cascade

Devour decks lick their lips; nuke these guys and you get MORE fodder instead of less for future Devourers.
And the fun thing is: the colors match perfectly (Red/green/black).
Yum.

you have to admit... shards block had some VERY unique and interesting cards... i LOVE creatures that penalize your opponents for getting rid of them (even though exile gets around that problem with thrinax but nonetheless... that's still a card out of your opponent's hand!)

6 power for 3 mana. This is exactly why it saw so much play in standard. Not to mention the card disadvantage it offered opponents - "sure you can kill my creature, just keep in mind you have to use at least 2 spells to do so".
