About Rootborn Defenses
Rootborn Defenses, Instant, designed by Mark Zug first released in May, 2020 in the set Return to Ravnica and was printed exactly in 7 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.
A Selesnya token deck would greatly benefit from including Rootborn Defenses as it provides both protection and additional token generation. While Rootborn Defenses is a solid card for its mana cost, some players may opt for more versatile options like Heroic Intervention, which offers hexproof in addition to indestructible, or Teferi's Protection, which provides a more comprehensive protection effect. However, Rootborn Defenses can still see play in decks looking to maximize token production and protect their board presence.
