He's cool, I like the concept and the art, but I agree he needs haste to be really worth it. As is I can see him played in Commander, particularly a BGW or RGW Fungus/Saproling build, as without access to blue the decks are down several options for proliferate effects, and they probably wouldn't run enough artifacts to make Throne of Geth worthwhile. Contagion Clasp, Contagion Engine, Spread the Sickness, maybe a Core Prowler just for the goes-to-the-graveyard effect, and then a Doubling Season if you don't mind dropping some money, and you could have a nice saproling swarm deck. It might not be very competitive, but it's commander; sometimes fun decks are supposed to outweigh a deck's competitiveness. I think I would enjoy it.

Throne of Geth with legs and an alright body. For me though, I'll stick with the Throne, probably since I only run Blue/Black poison.

It confuses me that it doesn't have infect. Especially with a name like Plaguemaw Beast.

@kohta: Insane hardly, still four mana a turn for a proliferate a turn. No doubt its nice to have a guaranteed proliferate every turn, but four mana is still overpriced compared to almost all over proliferates. Although if you also had an Inexorable Tide down it would be quite nice.
That being said, Contagion Engine is still better as it gives you two proliferations for the same mana.

He can self-cannibalize.

The tapping is what holds this guy back. Otherwise you could sac your guys in response to just about anything- oh you blocked my Saproling? Sac, proliferate. Lightning Bolt? Sac, proliferate.
As it is, he's a little expensive for what he does. Probably pretty decent in Limited, though, not that I play that.

Pretty nice interaction with Saproling Burst.
