This plus two Training Grounds will make his ability cost 1. You can make infinite tokens come into play, but you can't keep them to, say, dump every Eldrazi you own into play
Why do you say that you can't save up the extra tokens? You totally can! It costs 1 mana and makes 2 tokens! Do it 20 times and you can dump your sideboard into play. Simple.

the infinite spawn can be created with any combination of eye of ugin, training grounds, heartstone...
To all the people who suggest using Eye of Ugin to make his ability cheaper, that totally doesn't work. The Eye only reduces the cost of Eldrazi spells, not abilities.

I want to see the ruling for his bottom ability. What constitutes "out of the game" since they did not use the term from "Exile" was it a typo or can you pull from sideboard or your collection depending on sanctioned or unsanctioned play; like some older cards such as Burning Wish.

@Gilder_Bairn:
The "only use you sideboard" ruling is only for tournaments. And there are tons of people who play casual instead of tournaments.
Even in tournaments, how can you say that dropping every Eldrazi in your sideboard is pointless? That ability can let you play Emrakul, Kozilek, Ulamog, and several other Eldrazi creatures in a single turn- for a fraction of what it would cost to play them for their total mana cost!
Just thought of a way to screw someone over when they use Spawnsire's {20} ability: Gather Specimens. All those Eldrazi are now yours.

Whenever an opponent plays this card and manages to resolve it, I cunning wish for a reins of power and beat him up with his own army.

Believe it or not, with enough mana reflection abilities, you can actually ramp up to 20 easily enough- It isn't tourney-worthy, necessarily, but the deck was awesome when it worked. Keeper of Progenitus works perfectly here

MTGO only lets you use the sideboard in timed games. And there is no longer a casual option for untimed games. So, in paper you can slap down a thousand Nameless inversions to kill the most indestructible eldrazi, but in MTGO extended you can't even have more than 4.
Going just by the card, we should have access to ego erasure and shields of velis vel even in standard.

Will mindbreak trap ruin this combo? Are they required to cast them all at once at instant speed? I need to know because I might play against Kellan
