If you live on a planet where even the plants are made of metal, why would you run around the forest in lingerie?

Yep, it make perfect sense that Regrowth is restricted in Vintage but you can run 4 of these.

Well, it is quite a good card, and as said before, you can blink it, bounce it, reanimate it, clone it, copy it, shapeshift into it... There are tons of applications for this, and it would be great reprint.

A cip/etb Regrowth trigger on a 2/1 three-drop is definitely playable.
I like the fact most that Wizards did not just make her a 1/1 chump blocker for the increased cost of Green but even gave her 2 power to make her even more decent.
There are so many possibilities to make use of her triggered ability multiple times.

She also does a great job with Unearth once she's in your graveyard, which will provide you both with her 2/1 body and another card from your graveyard for just Black - even including Unearth itself!
This combo also has a good synergy with Intuition in case you want a particular card yet do not have three copies of it in your library: Pick the desired card, the Witness and Unearth. This way no matter which of these cards your opponent chooses, you'll ultimately be able to get the one you want, either directly or by putting the Witness into play for either Black or 1GreenGreen.

On top of that i'm also very content with ... (see all)

One of the best green creatures ever. I simply love this card and wouldn't mind seeing a reprint ;) (wink, wink @ wizards)

I have had so much fun with this card, especially in conjunction with Ghostway and Day of the Dragons; when Day of the Dragons gets destroyed, she comes back and returns the enchantment back to my hand.

Eternal Witness + Evacuation is also rough when playing against a green deck with no removal.

If this is reprinted, Terese Nielsen simply has to do the art. And not just because she's my favorite Magic artist.

What a classic.

Green control makes me happy. Nature sometimes works slowly. Green decks should be able to as well.

If I get Eternal Witness/Time Warp-locked out of one more Commander game I'm going to have to kill something.

Also, awesome card, staple, amazing, etc., etc.

The number one card that I'd love a reprint. (Other top cards on my list include Enchantress's Presence, Sakura-Tribe Elder, and Fecundity. Yes)

Powerful on its own, and has a lot of combo potential. A bit too broken with repeatable bounce/flicker like Crystal Shard and Astral Slide, but aside from that it wasn't that bad: people used it to recurse Tooth and Nail, or to simply bring back Horobi and Kokusho.

Also, I'm a huge fan of green-aligned girls - so much cooler, more lively and magical than white-aligned ones.
