The Tremblin’ Beanz

Root first, then bring it in. Rooted lasts until the start of your next turn, so root with Entangled Fate, Stillness, Lord of the Woods, Kasumigami or Sandcoil Python and play or portal the Beanz that same turn. Kasumigami plus the Beanz is exactly 10 IKZ. Nothing is Rooted on its own, so without a root card it is a plain 1/1.

Health of 1 or less is health right now, after damage. A 3-health entity that took 2 damage this turn qualifies, so an attack or a ping on a Rooted entity can set it up. Entity damage clears at the end of the turn, so do it all in one turn.

Targets are common: 196 of the 568 entities in our 17 community lists have 1 health, led by Hayabusa Itto, Foamback Crab and Black Jade Recruit. Destroy isn’t damage, so it takes Foamback Crab, which card damage can’t touch, and Stillness roots all of these at once.

It triggers whenever it enters the Garden, so portaling it from the Alley works too, and Gate Power 1 makes it a cheap body to wait there until the root turn.

Compared with other Uproot cards: Priestess of Sanzu attacks one Rooted entity for 2 and stays, Silence destroys one with 5 health or less each turn but costs 8, Blossom of the Valley destroys one with cost 1 or less on play for 1 IKZ and stays, and the Beanz destroys one outright for 1 IKZ but only at 1 health. All need the root to come first.
