Should have been named Growing Janks. 4 mana, does nothing when it hits, only conditionally able to do anything... seems like the offspring of Endless Janks of the Dead from Innistrad.
This seems better than Trostani, to me, provided you only care about Populating and not the lifegain.
Being able to control the timing is nice. Also you can Cackling Counterpart a Deceiver Exarch and get infinite green and white mana and go infinite with Trostani, which sounds ridiculous until you realize that someone will do it in Commander.
I felt a great disturbance in the force, like a thousand decks across several formats suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has been printed
It's a mark of good design when even the cards that are too weak to be realistically playable still look fun enough that people will try to build decks around it.

It's 2.99 on SCG right now.
And I like this card for my standard G/W tokens deck. A free creature each turn sounds pretty good to me. Lots of good interactions.

Standard: W/R Aggro
A theme is that Niv Mizzet is planning something. Jace is suspicious of the Izzet and Dimir.
So much awesomesauce for my token deck!
Trimming is going to SUCK!
Awesome that Chapin got the preview. I wish him well. Good things to come for the new Hall of Famer.
