For Challenge # 011. Inspired by Dryad Arbor obviously.
As it is a treefolk and they traditionally have greater toughness than power, I have started this as a 0/1 (I was originally going to make it 0/2 as treefolk toughness is usually equal to their power +2 - though not always) but that made it too good.
The second ability is there as the seedling "growing up". As it basically uses up 2 lands whenever you pump it (itself & the source for {g} ) it is really only useful in mid-late game when you will likely have mana to spare.

Sensible design. And yes, Lorwyn had a nice "Forest-and-Treefolk" theme, pointing out how similar the two concepts are. I like it when that line blurs.

Thanks Alex
So far this and Bog Horror are the only 'sensible' land creatures I have been able to think up (the horror being dead organic matter from the swamp animated somehow).
