Territorial Scythecat

Green usually pays for aggression with a body that outgrows its own mana: the fatty that lands late but hits hard. This inverts that trade. A 2/1 for three mana barely registers as a rate, yet the landfall trigger converts your natural land drops into a growth engine that spends no extra cards and no extra mana. The trample is what makes the counters count: as the body swells, chump-blocking stops working, because the excess spills through to the player anyway. The design leans on a truth green decks already live by (you were going to play a land every turn regardless) and turns that free action into a clock. Fetchlands and other lands that produce multiple triggers accelerate the curve, since each separate land entering fires the counter again rather than once per turn. The single point of toughness is the counterweight: it dies to almost anything before the counters arrive, so the early game is a race to keep a fragile threat alive long enough for the engine to pull ahead. It sits in the lineage of creatures that reward doing what green wanted to do anyway, built for the deck that pours lands onto the table and wants a beater that grows alongside them.
