What? I'm the first to comment on Basket? Well, what can I say... One of the best 1-drops (or should I say 0-drops?) in the game. I always loved playing two of these guys with Careful Study on turn one. How can you not adore this lizard? :) 5/5!

This little lizard is just incredible...to think that both this and wild mongrel were common! Madness was so broken.

Great creature. One of the reasons why UG Madness deck was so good.

Heavily featured in the Leonidas vs Xerxes Magic match.
One of the best green creatures ever printed. Everyone I've ever met who plays loves this, except the few who face off against mine while I whomp them, and those people love the Rootwalla when the game's over. 5/5, easily.

There's no greater pleasure in life, than a rancored rootwalla on turn one.

15 minutes could save you the entirety of this guy's casting cost.

@ Spectremonger- How bout the pleasure of a buried vengevine, discarding 2 of these, then putting all 3 on the battlefield?

I don't know why,
But every time I see this card, all I can think about is how content this guy looks.
I mean look at that smile!

I love the art and the mechanics. And the flavor that he, presumably, puffs up like a frill lizard to get that extra 2/2.

I'd really love to see this reprinted to play it in modern alongside Lotleth troll, which would be even more ridiculous than it was with wild mongrel imo

Used to be a standard staple. Now it's a pauper and casual staple. I have a playset signed by Heather Hudson, and they're some of my most prized cards.
