Springheart Nantuko
Springheart Nantuko provides a compact, flexible option for green decks in Modern Horizons 3. This Enchantment Creature — Insect Monk can be cast for {1}{G} or attached to a creature via Bestow, offering adaptable placement depending on the moment. Enchanted creature gets +1/+1, giving your board an early, steady boost. The card’s standout feature is Landfall: whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, you may pay 1G. If you do, create a token that’s a copy of that creature. If you didn’t create a token this way, create a 1/1 green Insect creature token. The design rewards careful timing and adds value whether you hold or deploy it as an aura.
In play, Springheart Nantuko scales with your land drops, preserving pressure as the board develops. Bestow grants solid value by buffing a creature, while the token-generating clause can lead to multiple copies or insects depending on how landfall unfolds. It’s a thoughtfully designed piece from Modern Horizons 3 that supports both a swarm approach and a more economical aura plan, all with a flavor that fits the set’s character. This Near Mint copy offers a clean, collectible example for any green-based build.
