Now I see why the set needs a token hoser. The bounce ability has a nice interaction with ETB, but also makes the enchantment scarily resilient.
However, this is one of two cards in the set that make 1/1 green tokens, but the other uses Insect tokens instead. Design is encouraged to use the same token type for the same size and color within any given set, so they should probably be merged. Given the flavor of the world, Insect is probably a better fit; besides, that also lets this trigger off Garden Scute damage.
Good points well made. I deliberately made it Saprolings to get more interaction with token decks outside of Sienira's Facets; but there are Insect token makers as well (albeit far fewer), and there are a number of printed Insects too. The set's number of different tokens is pretty high anyway, so I do want to reduce them, and this card looks like a good candidate. So I'll probably make that change.
Having played against it, it's sometimes relentless, even dispiritingly so, if the only creatures you can muster (through the opponent's removal) have 1 toughness. But there were also games where this didn't do very much, so I think it's probably okay for power level.
Remember to change the name if you change the creature type!
