This card saw a huge price spike despite Ruby/Sapphire falling from competitive popularity
Mono-green does one thing better than all of Magics other solo colors, and thats pump out powerful Creatures
And then you can tap and shoot something for a damage as well, and layer damage onto creatures from other source, be a threat to small fry, and otherwise be involved with playing Magic
Because the Boros are often ready to go into action at a moments notice, their cards are similarly aggressive
Also the fact that you will also not make one drops and draw this turn tow or even three sometimes and get to play it for free
That being said, if Snapdax is serving as your commander you can cast him for his Mutate cost again and again, benefitting from the removal and life gain he offers until your opponent runs out of removal
