Three Tree Rootweaver

In Commander, Three Tree Rootweaver is at its best and its most interesting — the symmetrical land gift is a political tool that also fuels landfall and land-count synergies, and a 100-card singleton format gives you plenty of ways to convert that edge into something opponents can't match. In competitive 1v1 formats like Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer, the symmetry is a liability: handing your opponent a land in a fast format is often just losing, and a 3/3 body for three mana doesn't compensate. Standard is the one non-Commander 60-card context where it's worth a look in a dedicated landfall shell, since the format's slower pace makes the tempo hit less punishing. Pauper is where the common printing matters most outside Commander — budget landfall decks can actually use the body and the trigger, and opponents are less likely to punish you for the gift.
