I have two proliferate decks. One is a black infect/wither deck. This is amazing. Usable indefinitely, and you can proliferate both the arrowhead counters and the -1/-1 counters. It grows exponentially.

I cannot stress enough how much of a star this card becomes in a proliferate deck, if its not remove it can totally control the board. It sneaks past protection and starts the ball rolling on that first -1/-1 counter that I find proliferate has trouble putting on. I use Lux cannon, I use Inexorable Tide, I use every proliferate card known to man, but against creature heavy decks this is the jewel in the crown. I'm not even paid to say this, Its just pure wizard tier.

Even back when it was printed it was one of the few good Homelands cards -- at first I thought it wasn't so great (since it costs as much as a Rod of Ruin, which can kill creatures indefinitely; and that's the most common use for this, either way), but the lack of a mana cost to activate it was a big deal, especially since it means you can activate it the turn it hits the table (so even against artifact removal, it still gets to fire off at least one counter, which will usually kill something); and if you can kill three creatures with it (not uncommon) it's a three-for-one.
And that was before proliferate.

Works really well with bounce effects. Also, don't discount using it on a damaged creature to make a nonlethal wound fatal.

Put it in a proliferate deck and it can ping something every turn forever.

It's hard to appreciate this card unless you've played with it. In fact, until last night I thought it was a crap card. But it saved me a lot of grief in the Time Spiral sealed deck tourney we did. Now, I can see it's pretty good removal/weakening.

Agreed, profilerate and infect resurrected this card big time.
