Now that's a cantrip. So ridiculous with Pyromancer Ascension.

The fights (aspiring) competitive players have about this card are astonishing. I'll argue for it until I drop dead but a large number of players don't seem to get that, if you build your deck right, proliferating once is huge. Yes, Contagion Clasp is "better" in many ways, but it costs SIX MANA before you've proliferated once. This does it for three and it's a free card.

Pyromancer Ascension
Ratchet Bomb
Titan Forge
Everflowing Chalice
Lux Cannon
Golem Foundry

All of these are cards where every single counter matters greatly. Hell, Titan Forge counters cost 3 by default, and at a limit of one per turn at that. Would you rather pay two, wait a turn, then pay four for a counter (with the chance for more later, but still at four mana apiece) or pay three for a counter this turn? The "desperate ploy" is an underrated nich... (see all)

You'd think a Vedalken would be a little more investigative.

This is a nasty surprise for any opponent who ignores that Lux Cannon with two counters on your side of the field.

Also, it's cheap, instant-speed proliferation. That alone gives it a niche role in certain control decks.

Such a great pickup in limited and useful in the right constructed decks as well. At the very VERY worst, it's cycling: 2U. Most of the time it's that and some extra poison, -1/-1, loyalty, charge, or whatever counters. Approved.

Tezzeret's Gambit from New Phyrexia is better. Doesn't mean that Steady Progress isn't a good card. It's awesome.
