Hmm...Ghave, Guru of Spores is the most obvious use for this. I can also see fun with Falkenrath Noble and Saproling Burst.

Now if only I had a way to untap the Beast in BGW.

Throne of Geth. If you're playing a deck that really makes use of this mechanic, you'll find the throne more effective (and quicker). If this thing also had infect, things might be a bit different.

Love the effect. Hate the body.

I either want a reasonably-costed tech creature or a fatty, not a mediocre blend of both.
Why put this Tap-ability on a five-drop (that isn't even out of bolt range)?

Something like a 3/2 for 2Green instead would have made things so much more interesting.

Although flavorwise it makes sense for him to be big. But still, why the tap cost?
I can see that Wizards likely didn't want this as a finisher for proliferate decks (sac all you got and get your opponent to 10 poison counters), but that seems like a bad solution.

But a simple "Activate this ability only once each turn" restriction would probably have slowed things down sufficiently as well. (Which compared to its current state would allow usage a turn earlier, as well as on each opponent's turn, making it more than twice as fast.)

Proliferate is good, but I would feel better if I could choose to sacrifice a creature, land, or artifact.
