Necrogenesis is one of my favourite graveyard removal spells, but it has to fit in the right deck, and graveyard removal in and of itself is such a situational requirement that...
Okay, I'm clearly waffling here. Necrogenesis is fantastic in Commander and Cube, but not anywhere else really, because those are the only formats where you can guarantee needing graveyard removal but be okay with just removing a single card at a time. Let's face it; in Modern or Legacy the graveyard decks tend to be a bit more combo-y, so if you're playing black you're going to run Leyline of the Void instead.
In Commander there are some better, cheaper effects, but none of them has the upside of getting you a 1/1 Saproling. Graveyard removal is a necessity though, so if you're in green and black you can't go much worse than this.
As for Cube... it's a sideboard card, but a very good one. I had a fantastic go of a friend's Pauper Cube where I ran this in my main deck just for advantage in the creature heavy format, only to face my friend in the final and ruin his attempts to play a persist/dredge/reanimate deck.
