Combine with cloudstone cameo, and a discarding card like skirge familiar. You can discard rootwalla for a creature-into-play and the discard cost for the ability.
I love this guy. He's just so cool. He looks like he's saying "OH HI THERE!" to your raging opponent :P

My friends used to call this guy "baking rootwalla"..I have no clue why...maybe they were dyslexic.

Don't forget that thanks to his Madness ability this Lizard was the trigger for all life - back then in the very beginning, when Xerxes and Leonidas fought a Magic: The Gathering battle and Leonidas took notice of Madness.

even if you can't discard it for some reason you can at the very least have a 3/3 for 3 which isn't that bad.

Good thing they printed Judgment, green was so underrepresented in Torment with this at common.

Turn 1: Island, ancestral recall, go. (discard 2 of these if you went second, 1 if you went first.)
Turn 2: Forest, lol.

How does this not have 5/5 from everyone? This is in the top 10 of one drops, all time.

Love how it's a fine one-drop as is. Better than fine, maybe, as it can swing for three turn two.

Weenie decks that like to overextend dont want this. Feeding it mana causes developmental issues.

Love this card and the lizard. Look at it, it's so happy! The activated ability references the tendency of real-life chuckwallas to puff themselves up, in case you were wondering.

Artful Looter is a decent combo. Tap, draw a card, discard this and it ETB, untapping the looter. Wooo!!
