Ironwood Fists, Saproling Surge
Fists of Ironwood gives a simple and reliable upgrade to any creature on the battlefield. The aura drops for just {1}{G} and immediately generates two 1 1 green Saproling creature tokens when it enters the battlefield. That token production pairs naturally with go wide strategies or with creatures that benefit from extra bodies in play.
Beyond the tokens, the enchanted creature gains trample which turns small blockers into ineffective roadblocks and lets you press incremental damage through. In Ravnica play patterns this card is effective as a tempo play or as a way to push a marginal creature into trade favorable attacks. The wording and effect are straightforward which makes it easy to slot into casual decks, limited pools and budget constructed lists alike.
