About Root-Kin Ally
Root-Kin Ally, Creature — elemental warrior, designed by Arnie Swekel first released in Oct, 2005 in the set Ravnica: City of Guilds and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.
This Root-Kin Ally card would be beneficial in a green-based creature deck that focuses on generating a wide board presence, as it can be easily cast using Convoke and has a useful ability to pump itself by tapping creatures. However, in a competitive setting, there are better options like Steel Leaf Champion or Questing Beast that provide more immediate impact and value, making Root-Kin Ally less likely to see play in top-tier decks.
Rules

If a creature you control has a mana ability with in the cost, activating that ability while casting a spell with convoke will result in the creature being tapped before you pay the spell’s costs. You won’t be able to tap it again for convoke. Similarly, if you sacrifice a creature to activate a mana ability while casting a spell with convoke, that creature won’t be on the battlefield when you pay the spell’s costs, so you won’t be able to tap it for convoke.

You can tap any untapped creature you control to convoke a spell, even one you haven’t controlled continuously since the beginning of your most recent turn.
