Easy way to keep defenders on the field. You could pack four and actually gain fighters every time you lost a creature. Basic creatures will find it hard to break through this in a dredge deck.

Flying, fear, or trample however...

Reminds me of Field of Souls, and arguably of similar usefulness. It's cheaper, which is good, but the tokens aren't as useful... so yeah.

Replaces Forests from Life and Limb Rather nicely.

Green token maker? Run Doubling Season with this. Ohh, and I like the idea of running this with Life and Limb.

Bloodbond March is a nice combo with Germination.

With Reassembling Skeleton we now have a very interesting non-token creature that can be returned to play easily! :) And if you have something that lets you sacrifice creatures for black mana, then you have one of the many different infinite combos with the skeleton..

I need this, but without using green! D:

(For my Grixis Deck based on Sacrificing)

Prowess of the fair does the same in elf decks.

Works with Nether Traitor. Use two traitors and some kind of sac-for-mana source like Phyrexian Altar and you have an infinite combo.

In general this card is great for graveyard recursion decks or anything heavy on sacrifice. Persist creatures love this card too. Even non-Green decks can run this by splashing, since there's only one {G} in the mana cost to deal with.

Great card. Subtle and fun.

Another wonderful card from my favorite guild now located in my favorite Commander deck, The Mimeoplasm

Here's hoping Izzet vs Golgari gives new art to this card. It looks pretty tacky next to my Ghaves and Vengevines.

Get two saprolings from your dead Tukatounge Thallids for the price of one, today!

Works nicely with persist or undying abilities. Another favorite saproling engine.

I personally like using Nether Traitor with a sac engine such as Phyrexian Tower

How has nobody mentioned Gravecrawler yet?

Add Phyrexian Altar and make sure there is another zombie on your side (hard, right?) And go to town.
