Avenger of Zendikar — Root Up the Board
Avenger of Zendikar is a finishing threat that scales with your land count. When Avenger of Zendikar enters the battlefield you create a number of 0 1 green Plant creature tokens equal to your lands. That immediate board presence pairs well with ramp and land tutors and turns incremental land drops into a fast army.
The card gains recurring value from landfall. Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control you may put a +1 +1 counter on each Plant creature you control. It is straightforward in function and subtle in timing which makes it a reliable late game plan in green decks focused on token synergies and counter interactions.
