It's odd that no one has mentioned Imagecrafter. The synergy here is actually pretty good, disregarding the blue-green requirement. It would essentially allow you to constantly cycle Oozes through the garden by turning them into, say, spiders. With something like Glorious Anthem or Glory of Warfare, you essentially have a creature that gets bigger and bigger every turn. Bant would love this, especially, because swinging with an exalted Ooze (although the flavor is a little wonky :P ) is always more fun when he'll be exalted forever.

So I accidentally discovered how fun this card is with Primal Forcemage and Conspiracy (set to dragons for Crucible of Fire) while playing around with my Sek'Kuar, Deathkeeper EDH. If I get a 1/1 Saproling from say, Necrogenesis, it gets +3/+3, then I sac it to Ooze Garden, so I get a 4/4 dragon with +3/+3 til end of turn, I usually repeat this about three times which gets me a 13/13 with +3/+3 UEoT. Dragon Appeasement is of course, out as well. Card intensive, but fun :D

I really love this card, it's so great if you play it right. Definitely not for any random deck though.
I definitely think it could have been much improved if they had said "Use only on your turn", not "as a sorcery" though.

Just off the top of my head Ogre's Cleaver. This card has got to be combotastic. Anything that pumps power till the end of the turn can be turned permanent with this. Oh got another; Might of oaks your 1/1 then sac it at the end of the turn for an everlasting+7. Or all that red power shenanigans like Fists of the anvil

Use Splinter Twin on a powerful creature, activate this card's ability on the token. The new token doens't get exiled, and to double up your growing army, use Parallel Lives.

It seems like this could be pretty powerful in an Omnath, Locus of Mana EDH deck...
Save up till Omnath is a 20/20 or higher, pop the ability, and before your mana expires, you play Omnath again for just 2 colorless extra and he's still out in time to keep your mana saved up. It would cost 7 mana to do it, but in a green Omnath deck, mana shouldn't be an issue, and getting a copy of your powerhouse of a general out with surprisingly little sacrificed sounds pretty nice.
And for just a little extra cost each time, you can do it again later on when he's focused up even more mana for you (and the copies don't suffer when you spend mana like he would)

Sarkhan Vol in the same set comes to mind for stealing creatures.

A shame this doesn't work with Mitotic Slime. Couldn't they simply have worded it as "nontoken creature"?

I know that c*u*m*ulative upkeep has been mentioned in previous comments, but how about, more specifically, phyrexian soulgorger? Strap a rancor on that badboy, and eveything around him is going down. As if that wasnt already what he did
