For you newer players, let me explain the power of this card.

First turn - Birds of Paradise or Llanowar Elves
Second turn - Fires of Yavimaya
Third Turn - Blastoderm, attack for 5
Fourth Turn - Saproling Burst, make 3 4/4's, attack with them and the Blastoderm. Even if the opponent has a blocker, he's going to block the Blastoderm, and he'll be at 3.

That means even if he did use something like Wrath of God, he was dead to a lowly Lllanowar Elf next turn, because of the Fires of Yavimaya

I beat so many people at FNM's with that deck...it wasn't even fair. Let's not even talk about how unfair Flametongue Kavu was!

People may never have realised just how great this card could be if it weren't for the Fires of Yavimaya decks... but, by the same measure, there probably never would have been the Fires of Yavimaya decks if it weren't for this card!

Fearsome thanks to Fires of Yavimaya or Pandemonium. Still, there's lots of potential for other combos. It can drop six tokens when you play it, which can be 12 mana with Ashnod's Altar. Darksteel Colossus, anyone?

Correct me if i'm wrong, but when the enchantment leaves play, it "Destroys" all the the tokens it put into play..

does that mean that if i found a way to make all my saprolings indestructible (and increase their toughness so its >0 while we're at it).. I can keep the creature tokens?

"Each token knows which Saproling Burst it came from" is the creepiest Oracle clarification I've ever read.

Not to get too picky but the token wouldn't be a 7/7 without any pumps. Your best bet is 3 4/4's or 4 3/3's depending on the board situation.
