: Target artifact is a colorless Swamp land for as long as Viridian Corruptor remains tapped. (It's no longer an artifact and has no abilities except "
to your mana pool.")
Viridian Shaman + Witherbark, Corrupted Guardian
A 2/2 creature that blows up artifacts; and a 2/2 creature that makes forests and swamps and gets bigger from them.
So.. turn artifacts into swamps. Why not?

Green card having "Corruptor" in its name is rather wonky. The card even references black by turning the artifact into a Swamp. Well, maybe it makes sense it being a lackey of that Witherbark afterall.
The fun/weird thing is that this can protect your own artifacts fairly well.
Who's the artist btw? ... is that a photo? Surely you could find somewhat applicable art from deviantart or so.
Re: Art. I just hit google image search; I think it's a photo.
And yeah, it corrupt artifacts into swamps. Intentional that you can also use that as a way to save an artifact, or mildly mana ramp. But mainly you'd use it on horrible enemy things.
Art: What's the point of that?
Here's some pictures from deviantart:
EDIT1: Oh, I didn't notice this was editable. Reformatted the card - I hope that's okay (some people seem to get ticked off by it)
EDIT2: Testing out reminder text. Looks like it would fit nicely within a "real" visual render.
EDIT3: I went ahead and replaced that old art. The link to that was: https://i1.wp.com/fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/160/7/c/Matthew_12_33_by_Delton777.jpg
2/2 is a rather small for a treefolk btw. Excluding Lumberknot and star toughnesses - all the treefolks have 3+ toughness. IMO this could be a 2/4 for its cost.

It kinda needs to be 2/2 for the mashup. And also to discourage people from preferring it as a blocker over using its ability. You're right that it's small for a tree.
Maybe I need to introduce 'swampfolk'? :)
... then we would need to change Treefolks into Forestfolk :P
by default)? From flavor perspective it would perfect sense. Alas, it's way too late to introduce such changes (lands and creatures each have their own types etc).
If we really think on it, maybe all treefolks should be "Elemental Forest" creatures instead (they could tap for
Anyway, the last two deviantarts that I linked made me think that maybe it could be a "Hag" instead? They kind of play into that same space.
We could at least maybe combine "plant" and "treefolk". Rhinofolk, ratfolk, catfolk, salamanderfolk, birdfolk, elephantfolk, insectfolk, foxfolk, etc don't get their own type :)
