Insidious Roots is an incredible card, but it requires our whole deck built around it to function and can be disrupted via naturalize effects. Luckily a card has been printed recently that grants us the power to simply play creatures and win without doing any fancy graveyard stuff. That card is Ouroboroid and it's disgustingly broken in any creature deck that can cast it, especially with the help of Badgermole Cub to ramp it out and we're also pumping it with Roots since it is a PLANT! We don't even need Roots in play to win games anymore and the combination of Ketramose and Scavenging Ooze presents another problematic challenge as an indestructible card advantage engine that will take over any long game. The removal has gotten quite an upgrade from Emptiness as well being a way to kill cheap creatures or reanimate our own and trigger roots while also filling our yard.

Now that the deck can outmuscle Aggro, power through Midrange, and grind with Control - our biggest weakness is Combo which is where the color white really comes in handy for sideboarding. Opponent trying to cast lots of spells? High Noon. Opponent trying to break Enters effects? Doorkeeper Thrull. Opponent trying to utilize their graveyard? Kutzil's Flanker. Opponent trying to deny us resources? More Ketramose. This list is very powerful in the current meta and has game in every matchup so give it a try!
