Giving this a bump as the only discussion it generated was on IRC. The discard ability was added to make it noninfinite, as well as to be a drawback.

Hmm.. a 1/1 for GG that when it dies, you lose a card and get two 1/1s?
If you look at the Symbiotics from Onslaught, they're all roughly costed at about more than the creature alone, and you get N 1/1 tokens when it dies, where N is the creature's initial P/T. more than is just under for which you should get a 1/1 with no abilties. So, for comparison:

Not Jeek's Toadstool

Creature - Plant
When Not Jeek's Toadstool is put into a graveyard from play, put a 1/1 green Fungus token into play.
1/1

So if you discard a card, you get an extra 1/1 token? At one card being worth roughly two mana, and two mana usually gets you more than just a 1/1, isn't that a bit low? Maybe give the base creature and the tokens some ability, even if it's "Sacrifice this creature: Regenerate target creature."

The discard isn't optional, which I see as a drawback.

I just dont see why people would play it.
you lose 2 cards to get 2 1/1s..
there are so many better cards which give more card advantage.

You use your first card to get a 1/1, then every card after that gives you 2 1/1s.

Not every card has to be a bomb. This also has possible combo potential with Fecundity and some sac outlet.

Also, Doubling Season makes this fricking awesome as is:  Discard a card to make four mooks?  I'm in.
