Wake the Cavern Beast
Disturbed Slumber is a compact and flexible play that turns poor mana real estate into an immediate threat. Cast for {1}{G}, the instant makes a land you control a 4/4 Dinosaur with reach and haste until end of turn while leaving it as a land. The card reads exactly like a toolkit piece for tempo plays, pressure turns and surprise blocks that force unfavorable chump blocks from your opponent.
In practice Disturbed Slumber rewards timing and sequencing. Use it to push through damage on the turn you would otherwise pass, to flash a blocker into reach against flyers or to convert utility lands into attackers when you need to close out a game. The Lost Caverns of Ixalan flavor fits the effect, suggesting an ancient sleep disturbed by explorers and commanders alike.
