Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Roots is a classic green prison-style Aura that turns a creature into a grounded, immobile problem, buying time by locking down an attacker or key utility body. At four mana, it fits best in control-leaning or tempo decks that want to blunt early pressure and preserve board parity while setting up a larger win condition. Because it enchants only creatures without flying, it cleanly answers many ground-based threats, especially if you need to stop an opponent’s best blocker or combat trick enabler. The enter-the-battlefield tap effect makes it immediately impactful, and the “doesn’t untap” clause can effectively remove a creature from combat for the rest of the game unless the opponent has enchantment removal. It pairs well with enchantment-matters payoffs, Aura recursion, or sacrifice-oriented shells that want repeatable board suppression, and it can be especially nasty when combined with effects that force the enchanted creature to stay tapped or punish tapped permanents.
