This can go into any casual multiplayer deck with green to good effect. If you play it on turn two, you can give something scary haste on turn 5. People let this slide because it is so unasuming, and yet it can be quite the surprise when you cast a Nacatl War-Pride and attack with it the same turn.
Obviously it's power is greater when used with other fungus and saprolings, but this is one of the few fungus that thrives by itself. One of the others is Sporesower Thallid.
If you want this effect in green your options are limited. I like this the best for the general case, considering this complete look at the other green haste giving cards:
Concordant Crossroads: helps your opponent out too
Touch of Vitae: an expensive and defensive card that is passable only because of the cantrip
Instill Energy: not really haste, just lets it attack as though it gives haste.
Reflex ... (see all)

So anyway, I thought of why this card is good, it has to be in the correct type of Fungus deck (like many cards, but I think you can play aggro Fungus or control Fungus and have the decks be very similar)
Ok so I was playing some 1 on 2s (I was the one) with several advantages of course. After winning 3-0 we played a FFA which means more like 2vs1 there goes my bonuses.
So friend A (if you can call him that because of the deck he used) was milling me with a Alara-Standard deck. I consider my Fungus deck (Time Spiral Standard) to be more on the control side. And has 20 lands in it. So yes after 3 Mind Funerals I was very dead. However I had a Null Profusion. Being a smart player I used its disadvantage to live after my deck was spent, in the process I managed to beat him. But I was decked and couldn't play anymore spells.
Friend B using a Rebel deck (mostly from Time Spiral) was kinda killing me slowly, since I could now longer play spells he... (see all)

This is one of only a few cards that are mono-green that can give another creature haste. It's ability to give haste at possibly no additional mana cost (just need one saproling; very easy to get).

Just another card to throw in a Fungus deck I guess. Most likely it will be used to boost mycoloth.

If there is more than one of these on the field, does the trigger affect itself and all other copies? For instance, if there are two Vitaspore Thallid on the field, would each get 2 spore counters or only one each?
