Mindbend, the reason this costs mana to activate has to do with the fact that if it didn't, this would have quite a few ways to make infinite amounts of myr in one turn.
Better to be average than absolutely broken.

Chuck him in the graveyard and have your Necrotic Ooze multiply.

This card at best is uncommon quality. Though, the fact that you can have your copy make a copy is op as hell for chump blocking in limited. That being said, I think this card is meant for limited mainly.

Very good for "Sacrifice Artifact" things.

Speaking from a limited perspective, this gets out of hand very quickly if not "nipped in the bud". It won me games by itself and I lost against it when it was played against me.

you guys realize that you dont need a thousand year elixer to infinitely reproduce this guy, you only need one propagator, two galvanizer's and a palladium myr. the turn after you get the first propagator into play you can infinitely use that SINGLE propagators ability. you dont need to use the other tokens to make more tokens as long as the galvanizers keep un-tapping the original
also 5/5

Guys, this card makes tokens that are copies of itself. That means the tokens themselves can make more tokens, doubling your army's roster every turn.
Just need mana for it. Easy enough with mana-producing myr and untappers like Myr Galvanizer and Voltaic Key.

Doesn't matter; they'd still have summoning sickness. But this is cool; it's like a faster, weaker, nonflying, colourless, manually-activated Chronozoa. And I love Chronozoa.

From a casual perspective, this guy would be fun with Thousand-Year Elixir and the infinite mana Myr combo.
It's undoubtedly a fragile combo, but depending on your playgroup, you might be able to pull it off. Storming your opponent with an army of a million 1/1 Myr, or using them all to make a giant MYR BATTLESPHERE is the sort of thing that goes down in legend. Plus, it's an all-artifact setup, so you could play it in any color.

probably the only question for this card; do the copies come into play tapped? i can't remember the rule on that ^^
@ ClockworkSwordfish - thank you, i forgot about summoning sickness lol.
@ Mindbend - the infinite mana combo with the myr galvanizer would untap them and give you the mana to re-tap. but you'd need to mass-haste like with akroma's memorial. tho i can't think of a type-2 card for that at the moment...
still, someone will eventually ask a judge, and i'd like to know ahead of time so i can reassure the judge, who may not have seen this problem coming.
and the myr battlesphere doesnt need them to have haste! i forgot. they just need to be untapped.
