It's like RoundUp for Vengevines.

What I really like about this card is it's not 2 mana and tap, it's only 2 mana anytime, so if you play this late game you can remove everything in your opponents graveyard in a few turns and snag a lot of saprolings. Having played against creatures that pump out multiple tokens every turn that can add up pretty fast if for no reason than to give you other blockers. It's very similiar to golgari germination except you can use it on command to net many saprolings in one turn. You could potentially use both cards together, netting you 2 saprolings for every card that goes to the graveyard, turning them all into psuedo sprouting thrinax.
Meant to be played alongside the morbid bloom, lord of extinction combo, thereby netting you more saprolings than you can shake a stick at, especially when paired with the aforementioned mycoloth, golgari guildmage, golgari brownscale, and others. Rakka mar and creakwood liege also being very convienient here, as is madrush cyclops, because you can... (see all)

Douchette, yes you can, because Persist is a triggered ability, which goes onto the stack like a spell or an activated ability. If you use Necrogenesis in response, when the Persist ability resolves, it won't have a legal target.

Not bad, I think I prefer Night Soil, but the req of 1 creature vs. two is beneficial when you have persist, undying, or other creatures that are a problem when they're unlikely to have a second creature in the grave.

Necrogenesis is the new Night Soil.

I like the fact that you can remove your opponent's creature cards as well. ;) Therefore, if you're not going to play reanimate spells anyways, this ability comes handy to turn your opponent's victims into 1/1 Saprolings as well.

Can you remove one of the 3 eldrazi's to counter their "return everything in graveyard back to deck" effect?

You can also terminate and then use this card...
