Awesome, love me some saproling tokens. The flavor text is a good bonus.

Tempted to run this in aggro.
No wait, hear me out: Drop it turn 4 with a Treacherous Pit-Dweller enchanted with Rancor (or maybe Strangleroot Geist), then use the tokens as Demonlord of Ashmouth fodder. In general, it works out nicely with Rancor (even getting three Saprolings isn't too bad, especially if you need sacrifice fodder, and especially if you can Rancor each one in turn)

Have this in my Ghave teck, along with Primordial Hydra. So freaking ridiculous. Play the hydra for as much as you can, next turn, spit out a metric butt-load of saprolings. I literally jumped for joy when I pulled this from a pack - didn't even know it existed! Absolutely fantastic card!

All I can think when I see this card is Thromok the Insatiable.
Imagine it:
Turn 6: Lets say, Primeval Titan
Turn 7: Land, Fungal Sprouting, Revive Fungal Sprouting.
Turn 8: Thromok the Insatiable, Fungal Sprouting for 36+ saproling tokens. You have a 36/36 and 36 1/1 tokens. Pretty much game and from only 3 cards.
Or even better on turn 4:
Turn 1: Forest Young Wolf
Turn 2: Forest Young Wolf dies in combat and comes back as a 2/2, Hunger of the Howlpack, Rancor
Turn 3: Forest, play a 3 drop? Attack with Young Wolf
Turn 4: Forest Fungal Sprouting for 7 Saproling Tokens. Attack with Young Wolf.
Turn 5: autoc... (see all)

It's not just a win-more card. It's not that unusual to have a big fat creature out but still not be able to win, because your opponent has some way of dealing with that one single creature (a 1-per-turn chump-block generator, or a reusable chump-blocker like one with Regenerate, or a Maze of Ith-like effect, or something that prevents damage from a single source, or Pacifism, or whatever). Even if you don't have any mass-buffs for your tokens, sometimes it's harder to deal with X sources dealing 1 damage each, than it is to deal with one big source dealing X damage all at once.

This + Champion of Lambholt + Pump Spells/Creatures = Profit

this card is an game finisher in my token deck
this combo very well with wayfaring temple , crusader of odric, or geist-honored monk. effectively doubling their strength
and if you add doubling season or parallel lives and those population dependent creature just rise to a whole new level of ridiculous.
ironically, some of my favorite victory was from death by saproling
