Here's to hoping that white / black humans gets awesome with Dark Ascension!

Also kickass in a Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker EDH. Since a Shirei EDH is sacrificing all their little dudes during each turn anyways, a creature dying is virtually guaranteed, and tapping two of them before sending them off to visit the netherworld for the turn generally has no cost to your plans. And since he is only one power, he gets bonus protection while Shirei is prancing about, and he can be sac'd for whatever other nonsense you are planing with other combos in the deck, with you still getting him back at the end of turn... Just make sure to utilize his own ability first, because he will have summoning sickness when he comes back (or I suppose toss in Thousand-Year Elixir to make this guy into some kind of super amazing verdant force that summons 5/5 flying demon saprolings every turn).
Overall awesome, awesome card that works beautifully in a ton of different combos/decks, and ain't too shabby just by himself.

so im thinking of using this guy with the disciple of griselbrand could possibly make for a really good sac engine with a mimic vat and an imprinted grave titan or wurmcoil engine

I really like the synergy between this, Doomed Traveler, and Altar's Reap. Flavorful, cheap, and powerful. Also usable with any of the white token generators and a Divine Reckoning.

Turn 1: Swamp - Fume Spitter
Turn 2: Swamp - Skirsdag High Priest
Turn 3: Swamp (optional) - 2 Fume Spitters - Sacrifice 1 Fume Spitter and therefore activate morbid, Tap the remaining 3 creatures and get a demon token.

This guy enables the black weenie deck like nothing else. Carrion Feeder is a good sac outlet also add him a marrow gnawer/ rat deck and your opponent is backed into a corner. The Marrow-Gnawer synergy is actually quite frightening as well as resisting both blockers with fear and some removal because it's black (Snuff Out etc are useless.). Provided you have got the right mana accel (Lake of the dead, Cabal Coffers, Culling The Week) he's sure to be a valuable combo piece.

If we ever get another Planar Chaos-type set, I could definitely see this guy in red as a Goblin.

Why hasn't anyone mentioned Awakening Zone yet?
Drop a forest and Joraga Treespeaker turn one, then next turn, level her up, on turn three, another land, then Awakening Zone. Now, every turn you will be able to get a 5/5. Add in parallel lives, and Seedborn Muse Also, since we are tapping everything for nuts-crazy, one or two Verdant Forces, and enjoy your army of fliers.

Had a blast with this, Demonmail Hauberk, and Parallel Lives. Reassembling Skeleton was feuling my Gutter Grime for endless saccing/tapping shenanigans

I've got a few questions regarding the priest. Can his activated ability be used during an opponents turn as in after combat when a creature has died.
The next question comes from a game I played online and I'm just confirming this for the future. I had an opponent use a Mimic Vat to clone my priest on my end step. He then brought in another at the beginning of his turn. He had two priests and a myr at that point. He killed one of my creatures with a spell and activated the priests abilities to spin two demons. I've been working under the assumption that if I had two priests that I would have to have have four untapped creatures + the priests + morbid to spin out two demons. Can the priests count each other as untapped creatures and tap for the ability, also can each priest use the myr as the second creature? I might have missed some tokens or something and that was my first ever online game, but that was what I thought I saw happen.
