It's a 1/1 for 4, which is bad. If three creatures die, it's a 4/4 for 4, which is average. If more creatures die, then most likely it was mass removal, which would kill this guy too. And in case it would become fat, it still got no evasion.
The card is not good and not bad. Definately no tournament quality, but is playable in some casual decks. If you want a green creature that keeps growing, I'd suggest Forgotten Ancient. Costs the same as this guy, grows a hundred times quicker, and can put the counters on other creatures.

And for the record, Khabal Ghoul gets counters if dropped after a Wrath of God or Damnation making it a lot more insane.

I think this card could be extremely powerful in the right deck.
If you have the ability to sacrifice your own creatures, and a way to generate tokens, you can mass-sac your own 1/1's and build this guy quickly.
Plus he will force your opponent into wasting a valuable ma.ss-removal card early when he's at his weakest.

He's okay in Limited, but he takes a while to get started up and in Shards limited, you could be looking at lethal by turn 4.

This got a little crazier thanks to the Commander EDH decks. I use him in a nice little combo. Not infinite, but it can really do some damage.
Ghave, Guru of Spores
Sigil Captain
Altar of Dementia
Algae Gharial
(The ubiquitous link to Doubling Season, of course)
Ghave and the captain make 3/3 tokens. Sac them to the altar to mill someone. Gharial gets massive. Sac it as well to the altar. Mill for even more. Or, toss in a Grave pact, clearing the board and allowing your massive Gharial to swing with impunity.
Mortician Beetle works similarly, but doesn't have shroud and is easy to blow up. However, without the shroud, you can Rite of Consumption the bettle.
Again, not infinite, but mill is not something people typically expect from a sap deck!

HOLY **** this card is GOOD. Its Khabal Ghoul, which was awesome with SHROUD!!!! you will never loose this guy to non-mass removal and he is also gonna get HUGE at the multiplayer table and quick. Play this guy. Lack of evasion is a little tough, but he is an unkillable HOUSE!

@ragamander
im pretty sure this wouldnt actually work with eldrazi spawns since they are tokens. tokens in this game do not go to the graveyard. they just dissappear
