Concerning Ents (following as Treefolk)

THEIR POWER

Specific for Treefolk creatures is their high defense. Most of them have a higher toughness than power. But that's their greatest benefit. While you grow up a strong defense you gain bonuses from their special abilities. For example Treefolk Harbinger. For one green mana you gain and additional forest (if needed) with a nice first defender. Bosk Banneret is even better: for only two mana all of your next Treefolk (and Shaman) spells cost less to cast. Some of them have great abilities, too. Regenerate, Affinity, Landwalk, free spells, Indestructible, Lifegain and much more.

THEIR WEAKNESS

The bad thing about Treefolks is their mid-high cost value. Some good Treefolks have a cmc of 4 but most of them cost 5+ to cast. Well, that's okay. We got some additional manabuild like Avacyn's Pilgrim, Birds of Paradise, Evlish Mystic and Llanowar Dead. Some of the Treefolk like Everbark Shaman give you some extra forest. Yo once you're in, you're in!

The other bad thing about Treefolks is their missing abilitie to block flying creatures. Therefore we have much equipment against these annoying birds (or angels, lol). Spidersilk Net boosts our toughness, Angelic Armaments boosts both, toughness and power and Ensouled Scimitar gives us a help with missing flying defense or enpower our toughness by +5!As extra, because we will have much forests in play, a Traproot Kami helps us against these flying a**. And some of the Treefolk have reach, too.

In case we didn't build our defense sucsessfully, we find a way to gain life and hold out the fight. The Wall of Reverence gives us life equal to the power of one our creatures and Orchand Warden to the their toughness when played. Treefolk Healer helps us to reduce incoming damage by 2.

Their Power amplified

amplifies the Treefolks power and let them deal damage equal to their toughness! That's exactly what we need. Indomitable Ancients will now deal 10 damage instead of 2 while still withstand an attack with up to 9 damage. That's great!
