Kirri, Talented Sprout
Treefolk have had a lord to rally around since Doran, the Siege Tower and Timber Protector gave the green-white forest-things a shape. Plants never did: the type sat scattered across Saprolings, Wall bodies, and the occasional token generator, with no card that said "assemble me into a deck." This closes that distance by covering both tribes with a single +2/+0 anthem, stitching two adjacent-but-separate creature types into one board. The 0/3 frame signals a commander with no interest in swinging alone; it wants a wide field to pump and a graveyard to sift. The recursion is the deeper piece of the design. Buying back a Plant, Treefolk, or land to hand every postcombat main phase turns the deck into a patient grind engine, and folding lands into that loop is a sly acknowledgment of how many Plants and Treefolk moonlight as fixing and ramp: rebuying a sacrificed land counts for as much as rebuying a Saproling maker. The anthem is a reason to go wide; the recursion is a reason to go long. Neither move is loud, which suits a commander built to make an overlooked creature type functional rather than dominant, filling a slot the game left vacant for two decades.
