# Rootborn Defenses Rootborn Defenses is a straightforward combat trick that appeals to limited players and casual deck builders. The card offers flexibility: it can either save a creature from removal or create a token copy, making it useful in token-focused strategies. Collectors tend to view it as a solid common rather than a chase card, though it has appeared across multiple sets, giving it modest availability. The Ravnica Remastered printing represents a recent reissue of this established effect. While both nonfoil and foil versions exist, neither commands significant collector attention. The card's value lies primarily in playability rather than rarity or scarcity, making it a practical addition for those building limited decks or casual token strategies rather than a notable collectible.
