Creature — Insect Scout2 generic manaGreen mana

Two effects that most players would never think to put on the same card: a static ability that makes every land you control skip the tap-down step, and an attack trigger that manufactures ramp on demand. The first is the sort of Amulet of Vigor line that used to require a dedicated combo piece; here it is passive text on a defensive 2/4 body, which means bounce-land and karoo-style lands come in ready to use and your fetch-and-dork sequencing never stalls a turn. The second reads like a payment plan for that same land drop: swing at someone and the Lander token that falls out is a deferred basic, a sacrificial artifact you can crack later to dig a Plains or a Swamp onto the battlefield untapped by way of the first ability. The two halves feed each other, but the design is careful about the tempo: the token arrives on combat, the land it fetches comes down tapped by default, and only the static clause flips it live. It is a ramp engine that rewards attacking rather than durdling, which is a rarer thing than it sounds in a color already crowded with turtle-up mana-doublers. The 2/4 frame is the tell about intent: sturdy enough to hold a flank while it grinds, soft enough that it will not close a game on its own.

Lands you control enter untapped. Whenever you attack a player, create a Lander token. (It's an artifact with "2 generic mana, Tap, Sacrifice this token: Search your library for a basic land card, put it onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle.")
