I like making Dreadnought tokens.

Back from the brink has a best friend. Not only do your creatures have flash-back, they're doubled. Only down side is a mass destruction or bounce. However, for the two for one price, it could be worth it with creatures that have enter or die effects.

@Sobieski I think you're missing a few crucial points. First, I don't know that many decks require two Parallels out. In competitive play, no, you won't burn a turn to get a second Parallel. In more casual settings, yes. At that point it's a more realistic comparison of one Parallel w/ one Master's Call, Midnight Haunting, or Lingering Souls against two of those generators, which is only a difference of 
that nets you a permanent boost for all future token generation. Then you're talking 
for 8 tokens instead of 
for 6 tokens, and both from three cards.
The doubling power also brings extra beef to late game plays for early small token generation. If you draw some of your "weaker" generators later game, the Parallel means they can still have an impact even in a fatty laden battlefield.
And while this may be a T4 drop, with the easy ramp available to 
, it's quite easy for this to hit T3 instead ( true, Garruck can also hit then. )
Yes, people want to talk abo... (see all)

@Mr Aqua
You'd get 2 armada wurms and 4 tokens that they create; in other words, 6 5/5 wurms
@altheuser
I love that that follows the mana curve perfectly. Very cool
To add something almost new to the conversation:
The opalescence combo looks like:
1,3,7,15,31,63,...
or grows by:
2,4,8,16,32..
yay for geometric series +1!

This can actually be better than Doubling Season sometimes because your opponent can't double -1/-1 counters and the like on your dudes.

On the smaller end of the endless things this combos with, it works very well with Genesis Chamber.

Half of Doubling Season.
I read somewhere that Wizards doesn't want to reprint Doubling Season because of how crazy it is with planeswalkers. Sad, I know.
I can live with this, though. Innistrad seems to have a lot of tokens, especially with Zombies.

Not only is it half of Doubling Season, but it's standard legal and it's NOT a $20+ price tag... yet.

Don't think of it as half of Doubling Season. Think big. In Commander token deck, with both on the field, you get four times as much tokens! That means Rhys can mutiply your army by five each turn.

Black/Green with Army of the Damned. If you cast it, then kick it next turn, you must be Hades, or up against a really bad opponent.
