Springheart Nantuko is a compact green option that fits neatly into many green builds in Modern Horizons 3. With a cost of {1}{G}, it lands as an enchantment creature and can be attached to a creature to grant +1/+1 through Bestow. The borderless frame highlights a vivid scene of a disciplined insect monk, pairing thematic flavor with practical value on the battlefield. In play, it offers immediate board presence and scales with your mana development.
The card excels when you lean into landfall and token generation. Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, you may pay 1G if Springheart Nantuko is attached to a creature you control. If you pay, you create a token that’s a copy of that creature, increasing your board parity or duplicating a key menace. If you don’t pay, you still get a 1/1 green Insect creature token, ensuring you gain something from every land drop. This dual path supports both aggressive and value oriented strategies in your Modern Horizons 3 lineup.
