it would not be absurd to give yourself the token. if deathrite exiles a creature from an opponents yard, they dont gain the life, do they? if ooze exiles a creature from an opponents yard, they dont get the counter or the life, you do. and those cards are pretty ok if you ask me.
Seems potentially really good with an aggro deck full of lotleth trolls, pack rats, and maybe bloodrush creatures. Fill up the yard with dudes gaining value (buffing your troll, buffing your dudes, making packrats), then make snakes out of them.
Might be something janky you could do with trading post control too. Discard dudes, gain life, make snakes, cast...volatile rig and recur it by saccing snakes?
