Earth Kingdom General (TLA)

Creature — Human Soldier Ally

When this creature enters, earthbend 2. (Target land you control becomes a 0/0 creature with haste that's still a land. Put two +1/+1 counters on it. When it dies or is exiled, return it to the battlefield tapped.) Whenever you put one or more +1/+1 counters on a creature, you may gain that much life. Do this only once each turn.

Reliable creature for +1/+1 counter strategies in green midrange and Commander. Earth Kingdom General offers a solid rate at four mana, turning your lands into evasive threats while the life gain trigger provides incremental value whenever your counters grow. The earthbend mechanic creates a unique angle in decks built around proliferate, modular creatures, or counter synergies, though it requires setup to shine and competes with more efficient threats in faster formats. Best suited for casual Commander builds and Standard limited environments where you can reliably trigger the life gain multiple times per turn.
