I had to reread to make positively sure it didn't give haste.
Then I had to doubletake when it didn't allow me to exile my opponents' nasty creature graveyards
In the end, it lets you use your creatures as blockers for a second time, or as a second sacrifice (which disables the exile clause, hint hint) If your deck is based on doomed traveler/selfless cathar or whatever that's decent I guess, but seance will have no place outside super dedicated combo decks, super dedicated etb trigger decks, or an EXTREMELY lucky pull in limited. (this is dark ascension after all. not quite so many human-turning spirit cards)

This will be an absolute must in any Golem Splicer deck.

I love this card. At FNM I run a Splicer deck with every creature (except for Doomed Traveller and some Grand Abolishers) has an ETB effect and I dont have enough space in the deck for creature recursion so this card is a godsend for me. Even if I lose a Splicer at the end of the turn I've still got its token. And with Parallel Lives I'm looking 4 golems each upkeep if the splicers keep dying.

Does the dude at the end look like Matt Smith of Doctor Who fame ?

pretty nasty with some Swiftfoot Boots
love this with ETB effects, like Blade Splicer and Grave Titan where you can dump tokens on the field or stuff like Inferno Titan and Skinrender to have some weenie roast :D

Seconded on the Sundial of the Infinite. Might be fun with Ubarask the Hidden for global haste effects.
@Superllama12: Unfortunately not. According to the ruling on Parallel Lives: If the effect creating the tokens instructs you to do something with those tokens at a later time, like exiling them at the end of combat, you'll do that for all the tokens.

During their upkeep: hit Mirror-Mad Phantasm. Their EOT, flip your deck over. Your upkeep, hit Laboratory Maniac. Whoosh!

This, Growing Ranks and other populate things make some fun interactions. Find a creature you like, I like Stormtide Leviathan, get him in the graveyard and make 2 at first. Yea the first one gets exiled, but the populated ones stays for the spirit party. I invited drogskol captain and civilized scholar to that part as well. You may also want Thragtusk insanity.

At one point in a game I had this and two Parallel Lives out (i was running massive mana ramp) on turn five and I was playing mill.

I exiled a Captain of the Watch and put a token on the field of it. After the effects resolved I had four captains and 48 5/5 soldiers. Yeah I will just let that sink in. Needless to say he scooped.
