Description
Topiary Stomper: Green Ramp Anchor
Topiary Stomper is a practical midrange tool for commanders and decks that aim to accelerate land drops. The card reads plainly and does exactly what you expect. It arrives as a 4 4 with vigilance for {1}{G}{G}, then tutors a basic land and drops it tapped. That interaction smooths your curve and reduces mana screw in long games while still giving you a body that matters on the board.
The restriction on attacking and blocking unless you control seven or more lands changes how you evaluate the Stomper in your list. It is not a one card win condition but it is a steady piece that complements ramp, landfall, and land sacrifice synergies. In Commander it often serves as a late game stabilizer rather than an early tempo play. Play it when you want redundancy in mana sources and a reliable blocker that can also join the front line once your land count is high.
