My friend has a deck with this and Kokusho, the Evening Star. We often play multiplayer...
Everyone loves the guy with Swords to Plowshares at that point :P
For you guys comparing it to Clone, it is almost strictly better. The exception being that Clone doesnt need to target the creature it copies, so it can copy a shroud creature if you want for example.

With the new Precursor Golem from Scars, this has another creature type it works well with. The Precursor alone gets you 15 3/3s for only 9 mana. And with the Precursor and more Golems on the field? You're making an ARMY for 7BB.

Would it be wrong to remind people of Doubling Season when looking at this card?
Sure, it's out of color,
But honestly, you're needing some sort of ramp to get this kicker going before the game ends,
And green is really handy at that.

This works as a kill card used against Legendary creatures, and I personally love to use them with the likes of Aether Adept (pseudo-Evacuation when kicked), Gomazoa (opponents cry during their attack step), or perhaps Hedron Crab (if I'm feel like milling my opponent for 33 if it was kicked). The only other creatures I even run are Guard Gomazoa and Wall of Frost, and duplicating those for extra blockers is hardly a waste either. Best of all, any time I face an Eldrazi deck or anything else that relies on giant creatures first and foremost, casting something like this makes up for the otherwise weak creature counter game in Blue's got in Standard.
But what really makes this card incredible is the combo potential, even just in Standard. Precursor Golem is simply terrifying to think about, then there's Leyline of Anticipation to use t... (see all)

Easily, EASILY my favorite casual blue spell. A myriad of uses in the early-mid game, and an absolute bomb when the game drags on. Who needs to run a win condition when you can Rep-kick your opponent's Bogardan Hellkite? 5/5

I hate getting my dragons and eldrazi replicated. That's why I for the most part stopped playing with them.

@ Diachronos
isn't it more like 5x3 (for the golems' multiplying sorcery/instant effect) + 2x5 (for the enters the battlefield affect) being 25 3/3s??

@Guest1162619373 @AXER: Um, they're still Legendary. That effect says "If exactly 2 are on the battlefield" then it doesn't apply. But once you get 6 of them, you lose them all.
