What it does
All Forests and all Saprolings are 1/1 green Saproling creatures and Forest lands in addition to their other types. (They're affected by summoning sickness.)
"It was a sight of pain and awe—a twisted forest, migrating across the salt plain in search of richer soil."— Edahlis, greenseeker

Where it came from
Life and Limb was released in 2007 as part of the Planar Chaos expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This set was designed to explore an alternate reality where the color pie—the fundamental philosophy governing the game's mechanics—was altered, resulting in cards that featured abilities typically outside their color identity. Life and Limb is a green enchantment that turns all Saproling tokens into Forests and all Forests into Saproling creatures, a design that leaned into the set's experimental nature.
The card features artwork by Christopher Rush, one of the game's most iconic early illustrators. Rush chose an organic, earthy aesthetic to represent the symbiotic transformation of the land and the creatures, utilizing deep greens and browns to emphasize the unity between forest and forest-dweller. Upon its release, the card became a favorite for casual players looking to build tribal-themed decks centered on Saprolings, and it remains a notable example of the creative risks taken during the Planar Chaos era.
