Insidious Roots

Enchantment

Creature tokens you control have "{T}: Add one mana of any color."

Whenever one or more creature cards leave your graveyard, create a 0/1 green Plant creature token, then put a +1/+1 counter on each Plant you control.

The roots of Vitu-Ghazi allowed Trostani to reach every crack and crevice in the city.
