Earthen Ally

A green one-drop whose body only exists on paper until the rest of the board fills in: the 0/2 gains a point of power for each color among your Allies, so it grows with a rainbow-tinted board rather than a tall one. That first line is the honest, mono-color half of the card. The second line is where the design gets strange. For the full WUBRG rainbow plus two generic, the Earthbend activation animates a land into a hasty attacker carrying five +1/+1 counters, with a built-in insurance clause: kill it or exile it and the land returns tapped. That is an enormous five-color cost stapled to a creature that costs a single green mana, which tells you the ability was never meant to be reached by a green deck alone. The tension is the card's split loyalty: the creature half wants a color-diverse Ally board to grow into a real threat, and the activated half demands you actually assemble all five colors of mana. Both halves point the same direction (go wide, go many-colored), but neither is easy in isolation. What makes the Earthbend threat unusual is its durability; a land that comes back after death or exile keeps the land itself around, so removal can strip the counters but not permanently deny you the resource, though re-animating it costs the full five-color activation again.
