Deep Gnome Terramancer
Punishment for greed, aimed at a very specific crime. Ramp that skips the land drop (fetchlands, Explosive Vegetation effects, anything that puts lands directly onto the battlefield) has always been strictly better than the land you would have played by hand, and this Gnome exists to tax exactly that: every time an opponent cheats a land into play, you fetch a Plains onto the battlefield tapped to keep pace. The trigger is narrow by design, firing only on lands that enter under an opponent's control, only when they weren't played the normal way, and only once per turn. That makes it an asymmetric catch-up mechanic rather than a ramp engine of its own: it sits idle while opponents make ordinary land drops and switches on only when someone else accelerates past you. Flash gives the trigger its window. The ability checks lands as they enter, so the Gnome has to be in play before the acceleration resolves, which means holding up two mana and responding to the ramp spell or fetch activation on the stack, dropping the 2/2 in ahead of the lands so it is present to collect the tax, all while ducking the sorcery-speed removal an opponent might otherwise have held. What it really does is convert an opponent's mana advantage into your own without demanding you take any greedy line yourself, and it does so in white, a color long walled off from the ramp its neighbors took for granted.
