If it can devour tokens and stay in play until your next turn, it's fairly likely to win the game for you. Unfortunately, it's a fairly big risk since it'll probably get hit by removal.
Personally, I prefer the devour creatures with a 'comes into play' ability. Skullmulcher is my current favourite.

Should be in every Jund Tokens sideboard. If the opponent can't deal with it, it gets out of control very fast.

I like to play this with Mayael's Aria now in my Naya deck.

This card is almost never not good - it forces your opponent to either use up some removal on it, or resign themselves to losing. The amount of aggro it generates can even work in your favor - if you're holding something good but you're unwilling to risk a counterspell, send out the mycoloth to test the waters. Never not good.

Blachwood Armor adds +1 to both power and toughness, it doesn't add "counters" the card would have to say add "+1/+1 counter" - but you probably could trick most of your friends, not a tournament though
If you really want stronger token though, this is a better solution. Add a Sigil Captain - your 1/1 token forests would be 3/3 token forests. Not too shabby either, and less squishy.

This was a bomb in limited, to the point I wonder if it should have been printed as is, or perhaps should have been given the mythic rarity.

Just think what happens when you stick Followed Footsteps on this.

Alright, like half these comments are things like gilder bairn and double season suggestions, but that isn't really all that likely. Also, neither naya or jund play blue mana, and even playing gilder bairn with green he has to be tapped to untap him somehow, and without the mycoloth in play wouldn't do very much. I'll try to run down the pro's and con's of this card without getting into crazy stuff like if he became a 100 power with 100 saprolings in play.
The first thing is the sacrifice effect is easy to pull off with either sprouting thrinax, creakwood liege, or any token producer such as rhys the redeemed. It's true you lose your token, but if your token is a 1/1 elf then it's not extremely critical, which might also be true of a birds of paradise since by the time you have 5 mana you don't need to mana accel anymore. Once it hits play however, it's definitely a huge removal target, that you can keep alive with vines of vastwood. It also does obviously combo very well with ... (see all)
