This card is just filthy in green infect decks. It turns removal and blocking against the opponent. The Livewire Lash synergy mentioned below is also horrendously nasty.

A nice compliment/alternative to Travel Preparations.

i've been using this to give a double boost my guys equipped with Runechanter's Pike. Time it right and your creature gets a permanent +4/+3 for one mana
-Update-
So with Corpsejack Menace out, this can easily give something 6 +1/+1 counters for 1 green. Maybe on a Champion of Lambholt...?

Best buddies with Slumbering Dragon...especially with morbid activated.

I guess it's a way to skip Part 1 of an Undying creature. "here just take the *** counter and lets be done with this."

I have to admit that the proceeding comments have swayed my heart toward this card. It still won't see much play beyond limited, but as for it being situationally a worse or better Giant Growth, it does indeed have great synergy with undying. For that alone, it will be a good pick in limited--even if it is then forgotten soon after.

There's a tension in this card... It being an instant and boosting a creature means you'd probably like to play it as a combat trick, like Giant Growth, but Morbid is easiest to pull off if you wait until after combat.
And there's no particular reason to use this with Undying creatures, since it just guarantees they can't come back. If anything, you might even use this against Undying creatures, if they have nasty triggered abilities.

Strictly worse than Giant Growth.

The thing I love about this is that you can combine it with a cheap removal spell (Doom Blade or Go For the Throat) to get 3 extra poison counters in an infect deck for {G}! AND it doesn't wear off when the turn's over.

Might just get that Slumbering Dragon to wake up!
