Ancient Greenwarden — Gravebound Guardian
Ancient Greenwarden is a compact engine in green that turns your graveyard into a second land hand. As a 5/7 with reach and a cast cost of {4}{G}{G} this Elemental eats fliers while enabling recursion and doubling landfall style triggers. In a Foundations Jumpstart draft or a casual graveyard deck this card rewards careful sequencing and gives value every time you drop a land from the yard.
The printed text is straightforward and rules friendly. You may play lands from your graveyard and whenever a land entering the battlefield causes a triggered ability of a permanent you control to trigger that ability triggers an additional time. That interaction creates repeatable value with cards that care about lands entering the battlefield such as token makers ramp enablers and utility lands. Add Ancient Greenwarden to a deck that wants to grind value and close the late game with big bodies and repeated triggers. Pick one up and start leveraging your graveyard today.
