What it does
Whenever you cast a Merfolk spell, create a 1/1 blue Merfolk creature token with hexproof. (A creature with hexproof can't be the target of spells or abilities your opponents control.)
A visit to the Deeproot Tree and its ancient spring replenishes a merfolk's connection to nature.

Where it came from
Deeproot Waters was released in 2017 as part of the Ixalan expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The card was designed as an enchantment reflecting the thematic focus on the Merfolk tribe of the plane, specifically tying into the exploration and resource-gathering motifs introduced in this set. It provides a strategic advantage to players using Merfolk-centered decks by generating token creatures whenever another Merfolk is played, encouraging a cumulative board presence.
The artwork for the card was illustrated by Johannes Voss. His design captures the lush, subterranean aesthetic of the River Heralds, the Merfolk faction of Ixalan, emphasizing a fluid, magical connection to the aquatic environments they inhabit. Upon its release, the card became a staple in tribal decks, praised by the community for its efficiency and its ability to synergize with the set's broader mechanical incentives for playing creature-heavy strategies.
