I freakin love this card. 4 for a 4/4 is just fine. He's beefy enough to hold some ground and cheap enough to get on the field. I've made insane things happen with these on the battlefield. One game I got out lotleth troll, death's presence and like, 2 or 3 of these. It got rediculous fast. Sure, that won't happen again anytime soon, but with all the +1+1 counters flying around lately, the possibilities are endless and obvious.

Augments Master Biomancer and Simic decks perfectly. Putting him out with a Master Biomancer already out guarantees you an 8/8. Be sure to have plenty of Overgrown Tomb's or Golgari Guildgate's mixed in.

This guy is the reason my Simic decks always seem to end up as Simic-Golgari-Dimir
Double's Nimbus Swimmer's p/t, makes Bioshift double the counters, and if you have two together it quadruples.

Every time I see this guy I get amazed at how much 'WAAZZZUP' is going on here.

Pair with Champion of Lambholt. She turns into a monster, fast.

One-time Solarion-type boost? Niiiice...that's without tapping!
Desecration Demon, Necropolis Regent or Nimbus Swimmer...that's in-block. Hard to cast them though...ya know?
Chlorophant, Vigor, Joraga Warcaller, The Mimeoplasm, Llanowar Reborn, or Pentavus, outside of the block...for starters.
Even Arcbound Slith seems ok with the menace, just not compared to Golgari Grave-Troll, Arcbound Ravager or Epochrasite, of course.
Mikaeus, the Lunarch could be used in a Karador, Ghost Chieftain deck...but if you have no creature-casting issues for the expensive ones, may as well cast Chorus of the Conclave.

@Jacobdelan
Sorry for digging back a few comments but yes, Corpsejack menaces DO stack.
They double each time, so if something gets a +1/+1,
The first one would double it making it +2/+2
The second one would also double it making it a +4/+4
As would the third for a +8/+8
And if you had a fourth that +1/+1 would turn into a +16/+16.
And that's just a +1/+1 imagine a Terrus wurm scavenge of x5 +1/+1! (+5/+5)
that'd be +80/+80!!!
And if all those were going onto a Wild Beastmaster...
EVERYTHING WOULD GET +80/+80!!!!!!
Although following this, leads me to my question:
When the Corpsejack Menace doubles +1/+1 counters, would a +3/+3 from say, Giant Growth... Would that become a +6/+6?
Because it's adding a +3/+3 not x3 +1/+1 isn't it...

Guys, serious question - if I have this out and I decide to play Akroma's Memorial would my creatures still get extra +1/+1 counters? or would this card be useless from that point on?

@Ultamate Yep, you'll still get the counters as the protection only stops red and black sources which specifically target a creature. A good way to remember protection is with DEBT. It can't be Damaged, Equipped/Enchanted, Blocked or Targeted by anything it has protection from.
