I can't help but feel that this guy is underrated. If he were any other color, yes, he'd suck, but green can so easily muster enough to make this guy a game winner. I personally love drawing this guy in my elf deck centered around Ezuri, Renagade Leader. With just a few other 1/1 elves you can activate Ezuri's ability swing with everything, including the decoy, and just smash face. And heck you can even regenerate your 5/5 Golgari Decoy if you have an extra mana!

This is works incredibly well in my elf-tribe Master Biomancer deck. Get out a bunch of elves with huge counter bonuses, then Decoy my way to a win.
This is fast becoming one of my favourite cards in Standard.

OK. Since my first comment didn't postt, here's a recap. Golgari Decoy. Gaze of the Gorgon from Ravnica. Better than deathtouch and keeps it a pureblood Golgari combo. The bonus of not playing standard.

You don't need to look outside of modern Ravnica to give him deathtouch. For a mere G, a Wasteland Viper would be happy to look out for your Decoy on his perilous journey. Use your extra power to kill another guy while you're at it.
On a good run that's 3 creatures off the board for your 2 card investment, you get as many attackers as you can spare through to the enemy, and you still get to scavenge the guy when the dust settles. There's advantage to be had there if your opponent doesn't have instant removal or another play, game winning advantage even.
