What it does
Whenever a player casts a creature spell, that player adds green mana.
As if there's glitch in the system, the Tangle sometimes folds in on itself, throwing off sparks of mana in a mystifying display.

Where it came from
Tangleroot was released as part of the Mirrodin set in 2003, marking the introduction of a plane composed entirely of metal and artifact-based life. Within the set's thematic structure, the card represents the struggle of organic nature, specifically the verdant influences of the Tangle forest, attempting to survive and persist within an increasingly synthetic world.
The card was illustrated by Darrell Riche, who utilized a distinct style to capture the metallic, interconnected aesthetic characteristic of the Mirrodin plane. By depicting the roots as literal, rigid conduits, the design reflects the artist's goal of visualizing the fusion of organic life and artificial technology that defined the set's broader art direction and reception.
