I'm not serious about a lot of them. But it's fun to think about, right?
my pick: pain's reward !
This is an open call for any fun cards you guys can think of that:
Produce tokens
Produce counters
Ramp
Like things dying
Sacrifice things
Are Elementals
Do something with basic land types

Produce counters: evolve, modular, graft, Unruly Mob, Oran-Rief, Rustic Clachan, Blade of the Bloodchief, Ashling, Golgari Guildmage, Sliths, Descendant of Masumaro, Fertilid, Gluttonous Slime/Thunder-Thrash Moa/Predator Dragon, Hunting Moa
Like things dying: Caller of the Claw, Second Sunrise/Faith's Reward
Sacrifice things: Gargadons, Reprocess, Varolz
Elementals: once you move beyond the usual evoke stuff there's Incandescent Soulstoke, Voice of Resurgence (!), Nova Chaser, Avenger of Zendikar (!), Changeling Berserker/Titan, Cairn Wanderer

Just joined the forum and read around today. I've been brainstorming a custom limited environment of my own lately, and I found it funny (and certainly not a coincidence) that we came to the same conclusion on Eldrazi Spawn. Being numerous, adding mana, and giving on-demand access to a "dies" trigger makes the little buggers so versatile, and a great bridge across archetypes.
As far as using counters and dying, Fading/Vanishing checks both boxes pretty well.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give them another look. I have one currently (I think), but could always use more!
Another mechanic that I've identified as a good fit for my custom set that has emphases on counters, tokens, and "dies" triggers - Devour! Seems like it checks your boxes as well.
I also have one Devour creature, and I like it in theory, there just weren't many actual devour cards that I liked. Do you have any specifics that you recommend?

Oh, those Devour suggestions are good.
I saw Hellion Eruption while flipping through a trade binder this weekend. It's a definite maybe. It's a cool card, but, like Wildfire, I do wonder whether any decks will actually play it. Worth a shot I suppose.

Nobody has, planechase 2 only had two new cards right? Just Shardless Agent and Baleful Strix?

Yeah, there should be a big warning when you place a huge order.
"It looks like you ordered 119 English cards and 1 Japanese one. Was this a whoopsie?"

Ah, so the big shipment for testing this beast out is on it's way then?
I'll make some exceptions on foreign cards. I think we can probably get away with a textless lightning bolt, and I wouldn't begrudge you for running an Italian chains of mephistopheles since nobody knows what that card does even if it is in english.

Yeah, I have all but the 10 most expensive cards or so in my possession now. With an extreme amount of luck I can run a draft of it this weekend.
Triple oops.
At least all the players here will be able to read the Boros Elite.

Man, apparently my bookkeeping was really sloppy because I'm missing about 20 cards on my list that I just simply never ordered. When I started my original cube I just started with the cards that I had and very gradually converged on a "finished" list. Trying to get a specific 360 card configuration from scratch is very annoying and tedious. Looks like I'll be putting off testing until next month.
It's possible that Echo is also a fun way to turn on Morbid, but I'm not seeing any echo cards I like for this design.
