This card is very good. Those who played with it or against it would know.

EDIT: Proliferate, Proliferate, Proliferate...

For the players on a budget, Parallel Lives is a nice alternative to Doubling Season ( if you're playing casual or unlimited. )

I have a modified Fires deck that I pair up with my friend's proliferate deck in two headed giant. Blastoderms that never go away, six 4/4 saprolings that only get bigger, it's a thing of beauty.

Limited but very usefull. a 7/7 Saporling is deadly, If you can rule the battlefield before it goes, then you've made your use of it.
3.5

When I first saw this card, I compared it to other saproling creating cards, such as Fists of Ironwood, but when I looked at it again it reminded me more of Blastoderm (if only because of that dastardly fires deck)

This + Pandemonium was what a lot people were doing with this card when it came out. = 21 damage, I believe.

Saproling Burst is usually used as a combo card with Fires of Yavimaya. A turn one Birds of Paradise followed by a T2 Fires of Yavimaya allowed a T3 5/5 Shroud Haste via Blastoderm.
This combo, if followed up by a T4 Saproling Burst, usually spelled doom to Standard players circa 2000-2001 season.
This strategy was developed by Magic Hall Of Fame player Zvi Moshowitz.

everyone's favorite, eldrazi monument. remove all of the counters, monument keeps them in play as 1/1. bounce the enchantment or flicker it, 7 new counters. or, as everyone has already mentioned, just continue to add counters on it while it stays in play. the monument just insures that your tokens do not die.
