So, there's nothing stopping you from just sacrificing Milligig an infinite number of times to some sacrifice effect? If I'm just pitching it and its copies to Phyrexian Altar for infinite mana or somesuch, I really don't care if the copies are getting weaker.
Also, you forgot to change Dontar's creature type.
Life from the Dead - It wants to be played in a deck that has enough creatures to justify using a recurring revival spell, but such a deck makes the card more unwieldy due to the higher chances of having creatures you don't need in the graveyard for your opponent to choose, especially after being dredged.
In a dredge deck that wants reanimation, this probably wouldn't replace Dread Return since that can be cast for "free".
On the other hand, if you're using grave management like Scavenging Ooze to narrow your opponent's options, you have a card that's just Zombify but requires a lot more effort to get the desired result, even if it is re-usable (since you incur the costs of casting it AND using the aforementioned grave management to remove stuff you don't need reanimated).
Situationally powerful if heavily built around, but otherwise rather unremarkable. Sounds like a rare card to me.

Intrepid Lumberjack - 1G Creature - Human Warrior - (U) T, Sacrifice Intrepid Lumberjack and a Forest: Add GGG 1/2
An old card I found when browsing posts from my old account on this site. I thought it was quirky enough to revisit.
Polypod - UUGG
Creature - Mimic Ooze
When this enters the battlefield, becomes the target of a spell or ability, takes damage, and at the begining of your upkeep, create a copy of this creature.
1/1
So it enters the battlefield, making a copy of itself. The copy enters the battlefield, thus making another copy of itself. That copy entered the battlefield, thus making yet another one...
Even if you change the first part to say "when you cast" instead of "when this enters the battlefield", I'm pretty sure this is still extremely broken for the cost. Considering you need a non-damaging non-targeting removal effect just to actually get rid of it, on top of it being a chump blocker that replaces itself infinitely.
Since we're on the topic of Oozes, guess I'll make something ooze themed too.

Shapesplatter - 3GGUU Sorcery
Destroy target creature, then create two tokens that are copies of that creature. The tokens are Oozes in addition to their other types.
That can get ugly real fast. How many cards do you want to draw with Mulldrifter?
'buster
Imagine being so lucky that you lose the game due to winning more draw triggers than you have cards (since Mirror March isn't optional and you have to keep flipping until you lose a flip).
Assuming you didn't have the foresight to bring out Laboratory Maniac first or something.
Clever Impersonator? Have it enter, copy the enchantment? Have every copy copy the enchantment?
I want to see this happen.
Wouldn't this just give you one additional Mirror March? The Impersonator's not entering the battlefield as a creature, so the original Mirror March is never triggered.
Also, you forgot to change Dontar's creature type.
Creature - Spirit Ape Assassin
Flying
Cumulative Upkeep - Tap
Legendary Creature - Human Knight
First strike, vigilance
Exalted
Plains you control have exalted.
2/2
Not sure if I lowballed the cost a bit.
Next: A commander with an alternate win condition.
Wirewood Symbiote and Temur Sabertooth approved.
