The Roots of All Evil
If the Roots are your thing, you won't regret getting some of cards below for low prices:
7
4
-2 opp damage, min 1
Stop Opp Ability
I suppose you could create a full deck of Roots with some minor adjustments to the cards mentioned above, but their SOA bonus is really not all too useful 4 times in each hand :P. Instead, getting a half-deck of roots allows you the luxury of not having to have any SOA cards in your other deck (of course, you still can).
In any case, let's omit the full-deck case and concentrate on a Roots half-deck. The first card to target is somewhat high-priced as a first card, as are the following three. Hence, you might want to consider building another cheap half-deck before starting on the Roots. Rico should be your first card, as he has the effective - attack ability. Next, get some damage reduction in the form of your friendly Chewbacca Yookie, a staple in Roots decks. Follow that up with Miken Moose, another card with an attack manipulation ability, and with Noodile, a 3-star with the very solid 8 power/4 damage base stats. Jeena is also an option to replace Rico or Miken Moose, if you really want more damage reduction. All these cards are in the mid-range for beginner cards, but rest assured, they are really first class - probably more so than any other clan. The major knock on the Roots cards, however, is that they lack damage; you can address that problem with Amanie. She is a weaker card than the much more costly Ratanah, but she can be very effective if your other half-deck has a poison card (most of her 'damage' comes in the form of + life to you, so you're not wasting the poison). Otherwise, if you don't have poison in your half-deck, I would recommend not getting Amanie and spending your star count strengthening your other half-deck.
The deck mentioned above is more of a support deck that allows you to spend your star count in your other half-deck. The lower-levelled Roots cards are very powerful and can win you rounds, but they lack damage and are thus not optimal for beginners who cannot afford high-priced, 5-star cards (7.5/10).
In the long-term, however, these cards will stick with you - especially Noodile and Yookie, two staples in Roots decks. Miken Moose is also probably the best 2-star Roots (for lack of competition), and has its place in some decks, as does Rico. Hence, the cards mentioned are far from being just beginner cards, but more advanced players' cards, as well (9/10).
