Yeah, not many have been spolied yet, but there are a few:
Elf Spellshaper G
G tap, Discard a card: Put a 1/1 Green Elf druid creature token named Llanowar Elves into play "with Tap: Add G to your mana pool."
1/1
Uncommon
Sliver Legion WUBRG
Legendary Creature - Sliver
All Sliver creatures get +1/1 for each other Sliver in play.
7/7
Rare
Sprout Swarm 1G
Instant
Convoke
Buyback 3
Put a 1/1 green Saproling creature token into play
Akroma's Memorial 7
Legendary Artifact
Creatures you control gain Flying, first strike, vigilance, trample, haste, protection from black, and protection from red.
This is all from mtgsalvation.com
None powerful enough for Legacy, I don't think. I like Sprout Swarm though, it could possibly be a finisher in some sort of UG control deck (outside Legacy).
Team ICBE
Try not to wake up on fire.
I think Sprout Swarm could do some rediculous things in Limited games where one deck is stalling until they get Sprout Swarm going and then clog the board with tokens (Buyback + Convoke work so well together when your spell is make creatures...).
Opposition will love that shit.
Now playing real formats.
So would Intruder Alarm .

For my confessions, they burned me with fire/

Nah, then you just go infinite with Food Chain and kill them with one gigantic Maga, Traitor to Mortals .

You have me there. What I meant was use Food Chain in addition to the Intruder Alarm combo I mentioned earlier to power out a huge ass Maga. Now you just need a way to translate infinite creatures into infinite card draw (Stroke?) and/or tutoring for Maga, and you have yourself one hell of a (terribly fragile) combo deck!
edit: You know, none of these ideas are probably remotely viable in Legacy, but since Intruder Alarm was reprinted in 8th, someone could totally make a Sprout Swarm/Intruder Alarm/Phyrexian Altar/Skyscribing/Maga combo deck for Extended. If you couldn't deck them without decking yourself, you just draw your deck and drop a Maga. It could totally work...right?

With infinite creatures you can use Altar of Dementia or Goblin Bombardment pretty well. That's how the Mirage/Tempest era Mesacraft decks worked before they decided Earthcraft was a little too good.
BZK! - Storm Boards
Been there, tried that, still casting Doomsday.
Drawing my deck for 0 mana since 2013.
Or you could kill them all with Diamond Valley, one turn at a time! Yes! combo!
It's like fountain of youth with two cards!
If you want to go the infinite life route, you could always just have a Soul/Essence Warden in play when you get all your tokens.
So that's infinite creatures, infinite life, infinite damage, infinite life loss....sounds pretty tech, I'll drum up a list later .
