Tendershoot Dryad
Oracle Text
Ascend (If you control ten or more permanents, you get the city's blessing for the rest of the game.)
At the beginning of each upkeep, create a 1/1 green Saproling creature token.
Saprolings you control get +2/+2 as long as you have the city's blessing.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Tendershoot Dryad is a classic value engine for green decks that want to go long while quietly snowballing the board. A 2/2 for five mana is modest, but the real strength is the steady stream of Saprolings every upkeep, which turns every turn cycle into extra material and makes sweepers awkward for the opponent. Once you reach the city’s blessing, those tokens become a serious threat at 3/3 apiece, so the card naturally supports midrange, token, and grindy control shells that can survive to the late game. It pairs especially well with sacrifice outlets, anthem effects, and any card that rewards having many bodies, and it helps to build around permanents that accumulate quickly to enable ascend. In practice, Tendershoot Dryad is at its best when you can protect it for a single turn cycle; after that, it often takes over the game on its own.
