Bouchart 2009-12-03 ★★★☆☆ (3.9/5.0) (5 votes) I take it that if it was a creature due to some other effect, like Karn's Touch, it would still return to your hand if killed?
DFG_Danger 2009-12-11 ★★★★☆ (4.2/5.0) (3 votes) Since that card states that it retains its abilities, yes, it would still return to your hand if killed.
PKleck 2010-04-06 ★★★★☆ (4.6/5.0) (6 votes) This is what he looks like when animated: Weatherseed Treefolk
Missile_Penguin 2012-12-02 ★★★★★ (5.0/5.0) (1 vote) Every card in Time Spiral was a throwback to at least one previously printed card.This card is part of a cycle of 3 casting cost mana-producing artifacts that turn into creatures which cannot be reprinted due to the Reserved list. This card is referencing Weatherseed Treefolk. The others in this cycle include Chronatog Totem, Phyrexian Totem, Thunder Totem, and Foriysian Totem.
SirLibraryEater 2013-12-29 ☆☆☆☆☆ (0.0/5.0) You can use its ability in response to artifact destruction to bring it back to your hand. Given, it's a little expensive as a response to removal, but in green, it's not outside the realm of possibility.
