I'm probably forgetting a few. These are all Standard-legal for about a year and will not care about indestructible.
At the price of your creatures as well. There has to be some form of counter to it,otherwise it wouldnt be a common card. Still doesnt change that it adds something to tokens decks that is both needed and wanted,as well as making many popular cards less potent.

"Rootborn Filler" is what this card should be called. While it might be a bomb in limited, we know it won't see much constructed play.
I dont know, for 2W you can copy and keep a 4/4 flyer from saint traft. There's probably a better cheaper instant populate somewhere in there tho, maybe just not in W or U.
Not with the ultimate token sweeper Sever the Bloodline. It's even splashable !!
True, but if the Selesnya are dealing in multiple token types then that loses it's edge. Some how I don't think the hippy guild is just packing saprolings anymore.
For Bone fire of the damned, It is a rare that not many play a full set with plus the Rootborn defenses card does a lot to hose it.
As for most of the other board sweepers, they take out the caster's creatures too. This mean they both start again at the same point, given they have the same amount of lands. Now if you got to the point were you were so far out numbered creature-wise that a omni-board sweep is your only hope. Chances are if it is a Selesnya deck it will have a way to replenish its army before you have a chance to catch up.
The best way to take down a Selesnya deck is to stop it from play any tokens to begin with or lower the quality of said tokens, like using Curse of Death's Hold.

My money is on wurm tokens. As for a "omg I need to wipe out the board!" type spell, this spell protects against a particular card that is very anti Seles: Blasphemous Act. As for Sever the Bloodline,nifty,you totally removed a batch of tokens! Now whats your plan for the other token types,the actual played creatures,and for the next wave of chump blockers? Too many ifs,Id rather wipe out everything. But if structure stands as it should,expect some card from Golgari that wipes based on converted mana cost,and if this is a common spell,maybe even a Rakdos spell that gives everything -2/-2 for a turn.
It's my personal hope the Golgari see a "your creatures get big,your opponents get equally smaller" type battlefield effect.

There is buried treasure everywhere...in a graveyard.
Just heard back from WOTC The sent me alot of really cool stuff!
first off I got a letter saying the card was in fact real. 2nd, they sent the card back and the creator signed/dated it so that I would always know I had the first. 3rd was a banner with new RTR art signed by the whole dev. team for RTR, and lastly 2 spots on the VIP list for the RTR preview in seattle on sep 1st!

Indeed it can! But as was stated above,-1/-1 effects bypass it. Despite that fact,I really hope the Golgari keep with the Saproling subtheme. A wipe similar to the one seen on the Planechase card,where all critters die and you get saps for combined power,would be so welcome!

Great news. Really happy for you. I think you deserve it with all the hype you generated for them, and everything you did to prove it's real, but regardless, that's just really sweet. Looking forward to the pics/movies. Hey, could this be the start of the Bruce Magic Show? You'll have an RTR preview to film too!

Awesome, it's like a modern day golden ticket. I hope when they preview the card they give you a mention too. Congratulations, and may I say you weathered the skepticism fantastically.

Wasn't that hard, I knew where/how I got it all along I cant wait to see the banner myself. I'm stuck at work, my wife called me and told me about it.

lol probably not, I dont get that much free time as it is but I will get some pics/video of the PAX VIP treatment.

Man I remember playing a game with someone. They had an indestructible. I gave it enough -X/-X to kill it. The guy went off saying how it was damage. Took the fun out of the game.
Anyway, there's still Intangible Virtue in standard, with Ajani and Jubilation.

Just keep in mind, the -X/-X itself only kills it if it really gets down to 0 thoughness.
Say you have a 7/7 and it has 3 damage on it, you give it -4/-4 and it dies from the damage. Only if you -7/-7 it, it will die for having 0 thoughness.
Not likely. They're very much aware everyone and their dogs has seen the card.
I'm also curious about the extra correspondence.
With the release coming up soon, we should be getting better/more previews than this.
Gunna laugh when this card becomes a staple in U/W,G/W,and B/W token decks.

It would definitely help the gotta block with my little guys, scenario.

As mentioned above, in Tokens, it covers up the deck's main weakness: Board Sweepers.
I'll gladly play this on Weenie Orzhov Tokens.
Have all of them.

We're talking about B/W Tokens here. That's Modern. And in Modern the main board sweepers are Damnation and Wrath of God.
But yes, those bypass the indestructibility.

board sweepers ignore protection when the sweepers do not damage as their board sweep.
in modern this card is a relevent defense versus these very popular cards:
I dont know, for 2W you can copy and keep a 4/4 flyer from saint traft. There's probably a better cheaper instant populate somewhere in there tho, maybe just not in W or U.
That's why I want about 8 or 10 of these. A few for my Seles deck and a few for my Orzhov deck. Then one for an EDH deck.
