Avenger of Zendikar
Avenger of Zendikar is a green Elemental built for landfall play. When it enters the battlefield, it creates a 0/1 green Plant creature token for each land you control, giving you an immediate board presence that scales as you ramp. This card fits cleanly into token and landfall configurations, offering a reliable early board state in Commander formats featured in Modern Horizons 3. Rooted in Zendikar's wild landscape, the Avenger channels the land’s life into a growing front that can pressure opponents and threaten big swings as you develop your mana base.
From there the Landfall ability keeps the pressure up by pumping your Plant army with +1/+1 counters whenever a land enters under your control. The effect scales with every new land drop, turning a modest board into a formidable force as the game progresses. In MH3 Commander decks, Avenger of Zendikar often anchors a token swarm and rewards careful sequencing of land plays and token generation to maximize the impact of each arrival on the battlefield.
