Provenance

Where it came from

Plated Rootwalla was originally printed in the Urza's Destiny expansion in 1999, designed as part of the Magic: The Gathering card game. The card features the signature mechanical ability of the Rootwalla creature type, which allows players to spend mana to temporarily boost its power and toughness. This specific iteration was later included in the 1999 Battle Royale Box Set, a curated collection intended to showcase pre-constructed deck play and introduce newer players to established archetypes.

The artwork for this card was commissioned from illustrator Randy Elliott. His depiction captures the creature's armored, reptilian nature, fitting the aesthetic established for the green color identity within the game's fantasy world. While common in rarity and widely distributed across multiple sets, the card remains a notable example of utility-focused creature design from the late nineties, emphasizing the strategic resource management that defined the era's gameplay.
