About Tendershoot Dryad

Tendershoot Dryad, Creature — dryad, designed by Yongjae Choi first released in Jan, 2018 in the set Rivals of Ixalan Promos and was printed exactly in 5 different ways.

A deck focused on generating a wide board presence with a lot of permanents would benefit from Tendershoot Dryad, especially in a green-based token strategy. While Tendershoot Dryad can be powerful with its ability to create Saproling tokens and boost them with the city's blessing, there are other cards like Parallel Lives or Doubling Season that can provide even more token generation and value. Tendershoot Dryad could see play in a casual or budget deck, but in more competitive settings, other cards may offer more impact.

Rules

01/19/18

A permanent is any object on the battlefield, including tokens and lands. Spells and emblems aren’t permanents.

01/19/18

Ascend on a permanent isn’t a triggered ability and doesn’t use the stack. Players can respond to a spell that will give you your tenth permanent, but they can’t respond to getting the city’s blessing once you control that tenth permanent. This means that if your tenth permanent is a land you play, players can’t respond before you get the city’s blessing.

01/19/18

Because damage remains marked on a creature until it’s removed as the turn ends, nonlethal damage dealt to a Saproling you control may become lethal if Tendershoot Dryad leaves the battlefield during that turn.

01/19/18

If you control ten permanents but don’t control a permanent or resolving spell with ascend, you don’t get the city’s blessing. For example, if you control ten permanents, lose control of one, then cast Golden Demise, you won’t have the city’s blessing and the spell will affect creatures you control.
