Anyone else thinking black here? I'm thinking Bloodline Keeper and Skirsdag High Priest for mass flying token waves of awesome.
(Yes, I just put black and token into the same two sentences).

Think mimic vat, with any splicer under it (though Maul splicer is better), with this card. For three mana you get two maul splicers that pump out eight total golems. so what if the maul splicer gets exiled, you keep the golems, and do it again next turn... for three mana. imagine if you had more parallel lives, 4 parallel lives with one mimic vat and a maul splicer makes 512 golems, plus i'm pretty sure you only need to exile one splicer token, so you could do this with master splicer and have 256 golem's that are 19/19 then 18/18 at end of turn, enjoy :)

Can someone explain the effect of having both Doubling Season & Parallel Lives in play then casting Grave Titan ?
Example 1:
I have Doubling Season & Parallel Lives in play.
I cast Grave Titan who gives me 2 Zombie Tokens.
Do I get 4 extra Zombie Tokens?
2 from Doulbing Season's Trigger and 2 from Parallel Lives' Trigger?
Would I get infinite?
They both read "If an effect would put one or more tokens onto the battlefield under your control, it puts twice that many of those tokens onto the battlefield instead."
I understand that their effects are a Triggered ability but their trigger ability is also an effect putting 1 or more tokens into play.
Example 2:
I have Doubling Season & Parallel Lives in play.
I cast Grave Titan who gives me 2 Zombie Tokens.
Doubling Season triggers giving me 2 additional (doubled) Zombie Tokens.
Parallel Lives triggers twice, once for A) Grave Titan's tokens (+2 Zombie Tokens) and once for B) D... (see all)

@falgorn. ok well here is the thing Parallel Lives cause an effect to creat another amount. so by the rules on wording it would cause the other to trigger and so forth.

Why did they print this card in this set? Its a good card, but humans and werewolves (green tribes of Innistrad) don't have a lot (any?) tokens running around.
Since Spirits are running the most tokens, I think it would be quite interesting in blue or maybe white, although it is a very green effect.
I suppose what I like most about this set: Flavor rules, mostly.
@ iLXeNk
I can't tell you exactly why, I can give you what I think is correct, but I do know the answer to your question, 2 of these, or any doubler for any effect will only give you four ((1*2)2=4). The reason I think it works that way, these are replacement effects, they modify an effect once, even if its been modified already by another effect, I guess you can think of it like this:
One: X*2
Two: (X*2)2
Three: ((X*2)2)2
Also, if you want another explanation, this is not an effect like normal, it doesn't go on the stack as its on effect, a replacement effect just modifies an effect, so when you would get one token, you ... (see all)

This isn't one-half of Doubling Season. It doesn't affect your opponents and it costs one mana less. So it's more like one-fifth of Doubling Season.

This card just doesn't work very well. I mean yes it's true if you play master's call with two of it out then yes you will get 8 tokens. However, I would prefer to play two more master's call which would be for less mana. It's an interesting card I grant you but on turn four other people are playing solemn silelacrum, or garruck relentless or koth. Again, it's just too much mana for what it does.
