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. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 1.31.
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.
Rules
03/14/17
Rootborn Defenses affects only creatures you control after populating at the time it resolves. The creature token you create will gain indestructible, but creatures you begin to control later in the turn will not.
04/15/13
Any “as [this creature] enters the battlefield” or “[this creature] enters the battlefield with” abilities of the new token will work.
04/15/13
The new creature token copies the characteristics of the original token as stated by the effect that put the original token onto the battlefield.
04/15/13
You can choose any creature token you control for populate. If a spell or ability puts a token onto the battlefield under your control and then instructs you to populate (as Coursers’ Accord does), you may choose to copy the token you just created, or you may choose to copy another creature token you control.
