First you would generate 8 1/1 tokens. As they are ETB they would tigger the Crusade at the same time. This means each one would get 7 +1/1 counters. The original 8/8 would get 8 +1/1. Would leave you with 8 8/8 tokens and a 16/16 original creature, not counting any other creatures on the battlefield. (This is how I understand it at least).

I see populating {seance} and {cackling counterpart} tokens of dudes who enter with dudes like {captain of the watch} being pretty good with a {cathar crusade} and either {rootborn defenses} or {golgari charm} in hand.

8 on each sap. {Cathar's Crusade} allows a creature to boost itself. ;)

Yeah I realized that after you beat me to the answer. :). Even better than I thought it would be. Need to get me a {Fungal Sprouting} for my {Ghave, Guru of Spores} EDH deck now. Already have the Crusade in it.

{Ghave guru of spores} + {Cathars crusade} = infinite tokens and counters /jawdrop
