I can see this card becoming very annoying on the field with the right combinations.
A great card to have.

This card is going straight into my Experiment Kraj EDH deck.

Okay, so, put this machine with the Thraximundar, and amazing things will happen!

Very useful with Energy Chamber and Arcbound creatures - we all know how annoying flying is when all you've got is a couple of Arcbound Stingers :C

This+Blade of the Bloodchief+Runed Stalactite

Now, that's beefy.

if you have enough mana to split up its Pentavite you could use
Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker to revive him every turn

This+Blade of the Bloodchief+Krark-clan Ironworks means infinte mana. Couple that with,say, Disciple of the Vault for infinte damage, or Soul Warden for infinite health. Really awesome card.

if you use coat of arms, the power stays the same, yet you get more :D

I don't think that any of the mentioned combos with Blade of the Bloodchief and Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker are really going to work, since when the tokens die, they are not put in the graveyard.

Nor did anyone mention the stupid player tricks of blocking any fatty without trample/appropriate landwalk/unblockable/shadow for two mana continuously.

This fella, Doubling Season, and the Krark-Clan Ironworks. Infinite Pentavites, Infinitely big Pentavus. Also, attach a Blade of the Bloodchief rather than play a Doubling Season, and you have the same thing.

Edit:
RE: Shamajotsi
Blade of the Bloodchief would work, as tokens hit the graveyard before they dissolve into the aether, but Shirei would not, because the tokens don't stay in the graveyard.

@Gwafa_Hazid: The Shirei combo isn't about returning the tokens, it's about returning Pentavus after making five tokens. Pentavus is a 0/0 without it's +1/+1 counters, and thus qualifies as a "creature with power 1 or less"

@Stille_nacht: As counter intuitive as it may be, Coat of Arms won't work like that because Pentavus isn't the same creature type as the tokens. However, it will give strong tokens :)

Great card
Great artwork
Great flavor

At

it's really expensive, but the combos you can do with this card are absolutely awesome. Not so playable at

, but it would be a beast at

and broken at

or less. The choice for the mana cost to me is perfect.
