No, he doesn't trigger himself. Abilities (unless otherwise stated) are only active when the permanent is on the field. That's why you can Counterspell (by targeting) a creature with Shroud on the stack. Until it is a creature (not a creature spell), Shroud isn't active.
There are exceptions. Like Cycling, which is only active while it is a 'card' in your hand.

If you combine him with xenograft and name saprolings, then donate xenograft via puca's mischief and have life and limb on the field, you can take ALL permanents an opponent controls.
Druids are amazing.

It does not count itself for drawing cards. However, it can tap itself for the ability, and can tap druids with summoning sickness.

Does this card's ability to draw a card when a druid is played apply to this card? (do you draw a card when you play Gilt-Leaf Archdruid?) Bloodbraid Elf's cascade ability, for example, plays a random spell even before it comes into play whether it is countered or not. Does this work the same way, or does the effect only apply to druid creatures played once this is already in play?

frankly, not all that impressed.. 3/3 for a 5 mana cost, and if your opponent sees you putting something like this on the field they aren't going to hesitate to destroy it/cancel it. Even if you got it on the field when has their ever been a game where you typically get 7+ creatures on the field at the same time without them getting destroyed? It would be much easier if it were elves and not druids as well, there are lots of ways of getting elves or elf tokens out there. Yes its possible.. but it takes so much set up, I'd rather have a sure thing.

Does he draw you a card after you cast him, does he trigger for himself?
