Well, the dark forest is being filled with monsters of the night; the eyes you see in the brush at night. While the hedge doesn't really need food, men, armour, or weaponry (of which recruits tends to represent). I thought it would be a 2/2/2 card. The earth for it to grow in, the magic to make it grow, and the monsters to make sure those lost people stay lost. Edit: I just noticed my post partially contradicts itself, oh well, hope you get the point.
