I actually kinda hate this card. Not because its bad, OH NO! Its really good. Just it makes extremely complicated bored states. Imagine 13 1/1 tokens entering the battlefield then one token at a time entering one after the other over and over again... Sure in online matches that isn't a problem. However when you are playing casually, this thing is chaos.

I'll definitely have to look into making this part of my planned Jenara, Asura of War Commander deck (with its persist and graft subthemes).
EDIT: And I just realized HOW dangerous this is with persist creatures that sacrifice for an effect, like Kithkin Spellduster and Glen Elendra Archmage. ESPECIALLY the Archmage. As long as you have blue mana open, the enemy's only real hope for getting anything non-creature through is going to be something like Fiend Hunter or Phyrexian Ingester...

This + Thatcher Revolt = Twice the power of a Ball Lightning.

I have a ghave edh token deck. I have mixed feelings about this card. personally i'd rather play muraganda petroglyphs than this to pump the tokens. I think it's a little to expensive and needs too much to combo off of to be really good. The cost is also a little prohibitive in multicolor decks.
BUT it could be fun in certain instances, as someone mentioned with persist, you're creatures will never die.

Limited play breaker right here.
I played at the pre-release, and pulled this + Champion of Lambholt. Not only would I get some kind of coolsauce like Druid's Familiar, but I'd also give the Champion a nice +1/+1 counter...
AND THEN I GET ANOTHER! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! NEVER HAS GREEN+WHITE BEEN SO EVIL! >:D

Ghave + Ashnod's Altar + this
Infinite Infinity/infinity tokens, please.

in a test game against another of my decks i managed to get two of these out followed by a thatcher revolt. 6 +1/+1 counters on all my creatures please.
i am currently envisioning a combo with Commander's Authority, except that commanders authority is too expensive.

using Emancipation Angel to return itself can give all creatures +1/+1 counters for 1WW repeatedly?

At first I saw this and I was like, "Oh, well that's pretty cool."
Then I started to use it in Sealed. That quickly shifted to, "Oh my crap this thing is DEATH ON WHEELS why did I not see this earlier."
