Provenance

Where it came from

Rootrunner was originally released as part of the 2004 Champions of Kamigawa expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Set in a plane inspired by Japanese folklore and mythology, the card reflects the set's focus on the spirit realm, featuring an art style intended to convey the mystical and organic nature of the Kamigawan forests.

The card was later included in 'The List', a rotating curated selection of reprints integrated into Magic: The Gathering booster packs starting in 2020. This initiative was designed to reintroduce older, thematic cards to modern players, allowing them to encounter legacy mechanics and art that had not been printed for many years.
