Just got this card in a booster pack. Stampeding serow, elvish visionary, wirewood hivemaster....doubling season....I've got to go make a deck.

This could cause some real mischief with Parallel Lives out and Kessig Cagebreakers, or with Garruk, Primal Hunter's ultimate. Any green creature with Undying can benefit from this too, like Young Wolf or Strangleroot Geist.
And that's just in standard! Imagine what this baby could do in legacy token decks!

I run several of these guys in a Simic deck built around bouncing creatures with Roaring Primadox and Species Gorger. It's like he gives bonus Bond Beetles to all my Elvish Visionarys and Gatecreeper Vines. Generally more effective than the evolve mechanic. Works awesomely with Master Biomancer and Sapphire Drake.

Ulasht, The Hate Seed,Ashnod's Altar and this or useMana Echoes instead of the Altar for infinite mana/creatures.
It's such a great enabler in the right combos - especially in EDH.

It reads put a +1,+1 counter on target creature, does that mean the creature entering the field or any target creature in play?

This really isn't a bad card, but I've already cut it out of my mono green deck. I have easier, and faster ways to kill my opponent. 3/5 for me. Too costly to play, not enough bang for my buck.
@snouex
Any creature you like that's in play. You don't have to target the creature you just played.

This guy is pretty insane in pauper, particularly with any of the green creatures with persist. Aerie Ouphes deals unlimited damage to fliers. Kitchen Finks and Rendclaw Trow become some pretty darn good blockers. And ol' Grazing Kelpie does a lot of... grazing?
Excellent card for a common. 5/5

Funny that it mentions a drake (Sapphire Drake) and a ceratok (Crowned Ceratok)

Classic example of a card not getting enough love because it is a humble common.
Comparison with Juniper Order Ranger (rated over 4/5) is instructive because they are so similar. Sure, the ranger is better, being tougher and getting you a lot more counters, but the denizen is easier to cast, and much more importantly you can put the counters wherever you want, meaning (for instance)...
Hornet Queen becomes a 7/7 flying deathtoucher.
Trostani's Summoner gives you a 7/7 trampler.
Even little old Cobra Trap gets you a 5/5 snake at instant speed (possibly for 1 green).
Great synergy with any and every green multicreature card, and if you throw a Parallel Lives, Corpsejack Menace or (heaven forbid) Doubling Season into the mix, it gets pretty stupid. A solid 4/5 all day long.
