Why wouldn't that help you can regenerate for 0 instead of paying u. How can that not help. And don't you mean HAD over 9000 brothers after all all the tokens that come out die the nexttime evil or plague does its thing. Though they will make nice chumpers

Yeah, actually, I did. I just didn't post it, as there are other ways to help it too.

Lots of 0/1s. You really don't need to think that hard to come up with a use.

I'm not here to start a fight or anything, but the combo has a couple crucial flaws.
1) you can put regeneration on the stack any time you can pay for it. There's no need for the critter to get damaged. From the look of it, that starfish doesn't require damage for the effect to trigger at all. Just regeneration, which doesn't technically require damage.
2) This starfish isn't actually cloning itself. The creatures it's creating are blue, vanilla 0/1s. They don't have regeneration, nor do they create more tokens when regenerated.
3) Plague Spitter is just going to wipe them all out (without coat of arms in play or some other buff, anyhow)
So, you may be able to get 9000 starfish, but you'll need to get rid of the Spitter, because he's not needed. Why not just say coat of arms plus starfish? I'm sure that's what you meant. Get yourself infinite blue Mana and your talking. But that's an old combo we've all heard of. Isn't. It?
 
Cheers!

Creating the regeneration shield and using it are not the same thing. Just because the shield is up, doesnt mean you automatically get the token from the starfish. It has to take lethal damage or threatened by a destruction effect for the shield to go off and the token to be made.

And so you are correct sir. Cheerfully withdrawn. Nevertheless, I Imagine we could come up with a better way to make that work. Also, I love the suggestion of blessing of leeches. There's got to be a way to roll that in more effectively, though.
From the Gatherer Rulings:

10/1/2009Spiny Starfish's first ability creates a regeneration shield for it. Spiny Starfish's second ability checks whether it _used_ any regeneration shields that turn, not whether any regeneration shields were created for it.
