Turning all your Eldrazi Spawn into mana dork bears is hilarious. Multiples are just ridiculous...

I should check through the Changlings again.

This could be a fun way to mess with your opponent. Start cranking out Eldrazi Spawn, they start to prepare for Emrakul or Kozilek...and then drop a couple of these and Overrun. All the fun of playing Blue, now in Green.
I love this card, it gives me something cool to do with eldrazi tokens, it supports the hive/swarm theme, goes great with awakening zone...
and..
awesome rite of replication and marshal's anthem target, bring it back a size larger giving all tokens +1/1 in a g/w deck, or replicate it 5 x with rite of replication to make all your tokens giant.

The only thing that bothers me is, that outside the eldrazi block it's unlikely we will ever see eldrazi spawn creatures again. Which also means that it's one of those cards that become worthless as the game progresses and new sets get released.

R/G Raid Bombardment. Swing with your 4 spawns and automatically do 4 damage with a potential 8 more coming. It's weak, but it's not terrible.

If you cast Artificial Evolution onto this card and target the "Spawn" part. All your Eldrazi will be buffed.

Kind of sad that this can't stand up to a Might Sliver. You'd think that the sliver's would get the weaker uncommon CMC 5 stat booster since they already have so many other stat boosters. This guy isn't going to have much of an impact outside of limited and drafts. Maybe if they release another Eldrazi set the spawn will get a new lord and powering up those mini eldrazi could be at least an attempt-worthy strategy to try out at least in casual games.

This might work as an alternate win con in my sac deck, your opponent prepares for a pumped up blood throne vampire with eldrazI spawn, then you drop this and suddenly allyour former chump blockers/mana sources turn into 2/2, which can really turn it all around. With this, you really get your mana's worth out of nest invader and kozilek's predator, not to mention awakening zone.

I like this card, because I love spawn tokens, but I have found it a bit strange to play with. The card itself wants you to keep your tokens in play, but spawn tokens want you to have big Eldrazi creatures in your deck to sac them for, so it feels slightly counter-intuitive using both strategies in the same deck. I like theme decks, so I still want to use them all together in an Eldrazi deck anyway, but I put only one or two Broodwardens in my deck now as a contingency plan, rather than a full playset.
@zaft605: To be honest that's possibly the worst (synergizing) choice for Xenograft i can think of, since it would actually require this enchantment twice to make this affect all of your creatures: It's "Eldrazi Spawn", not "Eldrazi-Spawn", so that's two creature types this card asks for - a single one would mostly just boost Broodwarden itself in case you chose "Spawn".
And even if it wouldn't, A combo with two five CMC cards that gives your creatures a +2/+1 boost isn't that overwhelming. Unless you can build a Xenograft deck that can profit from these types at least in a couple of other ways as well, you're better off simply running a playset of Gaea's Anthem. (Or, if you want to boost your tokens in particular, Intangible Virtue.)

If you want to make eldrazi spawn into individual threats, use Coat of Arms. But this isn't bad in a dedicated elrdazi deck, which is running accel already.

I wouldn't mind having a swarm deck using these and the other green cards. May as well go G/R for all of the spawn goodness in spawning breath and brood birthing

I just came up with this real cool combo
This + Awakening Zone = cry
Dozens of them.
