A, good old Traproot kami. Just a very solid blocker, especially when you can somehow raise its power a bit. Can create very funny late game situations, when blocking huge tramplers with a Traproot Kami... and having the kami survive. That's only speaking casual, of course.

Sort of bad early game (compare to Wall of Roots, Wall of Blossoms, or Vine Trellis), but in the late game, an unstoppable wall.

Also, it has the potential to be better than the walls I just mentioned if your opponent is playing green too.

That said, this card is really only good in mono-green, where you can maximize your forests, and in casual, when you don't have nearly as many nonbasics.

If this thing cantripped, it would be quite possible the absolute greatest one drop in the history of mono-green.

As is, fantastic flying hoser, and almost strictly better than Wall of Wood.

I've actually taken out playsets of llowanar elves and arbor elves for this and overgrown battlements. it is a very painful first 2 turns for you'r opponent if he or she is trying to play aggressively.

play 4 of these with cards like ensouled scimitar, and a few other equipment, makes him an incredibly solid blocker, also throw in some shield of keldra for late game (normally for other cards) but can come in handy on traproot kami anyway against some nasty rares

I have seen it played pretty well in two color decks as it often is big enough to handle your opponents creatures if your going for ramp.

saprolings, life and limb, and this guy becomes a very nice stall tactic.

@Champion_Kitsune
"unstoppable wall"? Don't you just have to stand there and a wall just, er... stops? Well I guess technically it has to be moving first to be able to stop but you get my point. :-P

Another fantstic card from the kami block.
The only reason why the block catches hate, is that its weaker cards was weaker then normal

@Buderus: It's the 'Dies to' Meme, dude.

This card is awesome. Rock it in a multiplayer match and just watch it get targeted or stolen.

Yep, I've seen people steal this. A Common.

@Buderus: Uh, most creatures don't die to Armageddon, moron. If you actually looked at what it does, you'd see it destroys all lands, which in turn destroys Traproot Kami for having a toughness of 0.

This is a very solid defender for a mono green deck. I run this with bad girls like Azusa, Lost but Seeking. Have your avg green mana ramping effects, and these become big fast. While these block for you, you can play out all your other big bad whatevers.
