So I was playing a game the other day and I had Life and Limb, and Sporemound. Now I created a Saproling with a Thallid. But Since Saprolings are land the Sporemound triggers, right? That makes another Saproling that triggers Sporemound again right? So it makes an Infinite combo... I think. Just tell me if this combo works.
It works, but user beware: Because Sporemound is NOT an optional ability, you will have no way to stop this combo once it has triggered. Unless you have a way to get rid of either the Sporemound or the Life and Limb at instant speed, or to win the game at instant speed (say, with Blasting Station), the game will enter an infinite loop of mandatory actions and become a Draw.

Remove one of Ghave's +1/+1 counters to make a saproling token, triggering Cathars' Crusade. Tap that saproling to untap that land with Earthcraft.
Remove a +1/+1 counter from a creature (Ghave, the saproling, or some other creature. Pay another mana, and...Infinite saprolings, and all your dudes are ∞/∞.

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
I think we need to go deeper... make people work for that infinite combo:
1) Have Kitsune Mystic flipped to Autumn-Tail.
2) Use Autumn-Tail to move an aura on to Bramble Elemental, get 2 Saprolings
3) Use Utopia Mycon to sacrifice the Saprolings, and move the enchantment off and on again.
4) Revel in infinite ETB/Death triggers.
5) Bonus Round: Get a 2nd Bramble Elemental somehow, and bounce auras between them for infinite mana/saprolings/triggers.
No, as its not a may. In a tournament, if you intentionally miss triggers on purpose, that is cheating.
(Note that while missing a trigger is a warning, under philosophy, it also mentions "unless the judge believes the player is intentionally missing their triggers. The reason I saw cheating is that if I resolve only half of a Sword of Feast and Famine trigger and you intentionally dont tell, hoping I miss it, that is cheating.)

An actual infinite saprolings combo, here you go:
Ghave, Guru of Spores
Cathars' Crusade
Earthcraft
How the combo works:
Remove one of Ghave's +1/+1 counters to make a saproling token, triggering Cathars' Crusade. Tap that saproling to untap that land with Earthcraft.
Remove a +1/+1 counter from a creature (Ghave, the saproling, or some other creature. Pay another mana, and...Infinite saprolings, and all your dudes are ∞/∞.
On phasing:
1) Have Kitsune Mystic flipped to Autumn-Tail.
2) Use Autumn-Tail to move an aura on to Bramble Elemental, get 2 Saprolings
3) Use Utopia Mycon to sacrifice the Saprolings, and move the enchantment off and on again.
4) Revel in infinite ETB/Death triggers.
5) Bonus Round: Get a 2nd Bramble Elemental somehow, and bounce auras between them for infinite mana/saprolings/triggers.

kinda like forgetting a draw off of howling mine?
