@Rhymes:
You're forgetting that you need to tap Vine Trellis to get the mana, so you can't block with it in your opponents turn. This can do both.

This wall's primary objective is to be early defence and give you that one extra mana to cast your bigger spells. 4/5

@ Rhymes
You can also use Wall of Roots twice.
Once during your turn, to cast Birds of Paradise and one during the enemy turn, to cast something like Mana Leak.
This card is one of the best ramp walls for a U/G Control, since it essentially taps for an extra mana while I am using spells with Convoke.
4/5, for being awesome in a rogue Modern Deck.

Not sure why anyone would rate this lower than 4/5. Art and flavour text aside, this wall can add mana while staying untapped to, you know... defend. This was, and is, one of the best walls in the game, and perhaps still better than overgrown battlement.

Yet as your magic grows, this wall shrinks.

For one less toughness Vine Trellis gives you the green mana without getting weaker. Seems the better deal imo.
