Description
Released in 2003 as part of the Scourge expansion, Root Elemental stands out as a formidable green creature in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Carrying the card number 127, this Rare card was illustrated by Anthony S. Waters and requires a mana cost of four generic and two green mana to cast. With a power and toughness of 6/5, it commands the board with significant presence. The card’s most distinctive feature is its Morph ability, which allows players to cast it face down as a 2/2 creature for just three generic mana. When revealed, the Morph cost matches its normal mana cost, and it triggers an effect that lets the controller put a creature card from their hand onto the battlefield. For collectors, this card represents a key piece of the Scourge era, blending strategic depth with nostalgic value. Whether you are building a set or expanding your library, the Root Elemental offers a unique gameplay experience that has endured since its initial release. The card's design and mechanics make it a sought-after item for fans of the format and those looking to complete their collection of early 2000s Magic cards.
