This would be so much better if it used spore counters.

Well, if it used Spore Counters instead it would probably say "When Sporogenesis leaves play, remove all spore counters from all creatures. And this would be a really bad idea when playing with Thallids and or Thallid|Spores (Thelon of Havenwood)Combos :)

This card has built-in Doubling Season. Have two in play, and you get double the Saprolings for each fungus counter.

Art & flavor. I love infecting my enemies with the spawn of their doom!

Has anyone tried using this with mindbender spores?
You could keep a creature tapped down indefinitely.

And if the victim dies, you get four or more Saprolings!

Unfortunately, this card has a cool concept but is pretty terrible. One 1/1 per turn isn't really that great for 4 mana, and you don't even get them until the creature you put the counters on dies.

I like that it gets exponentially better, since each sporogenesis creates tokens when a creature with spore counters on it dies, no matter where those counters came from.

Assuming you sacrifice a creature or token each turn:
- one sporogenesis: 1 token a turn
- two sporogenesis: 4 tokens a turn
- three sporogenesis: 9 tokens a turn
- four sporogenesis: 16 tokens a turn
