The Necrobloom

Legendary Creature — Plant1 generic manaWhite manaBlack manaGreen mana

Dredge has always paid for its card advantage with the graveyard as a currency: you mill to refill, and every replacement draw shrinks the deck you have left. Grafting that mechanic onto lands specifically is the sharp idea here. Land cards in your graveyard gain dredge 2, which turns every fetch, every self-mill, every discarded surplus land into a recurring engine rather than dead cardboard, and each dredge feeds the mill that fills the graveyard back up. The loop is self-sustaining as long as lands keep dying and returning. The landfall half is where the payoff lands: every land entering makes a body, and the 0/1 Plant it defaults to is deliberately small, a token whose only job is to be a repeatable trigger the deck can turn into fodder or a board. The upgrade to a 2/2 Zombie gates behind seven differently named lands, a nod to the color-hungry, high-land-count decks that already want to be doing this. What ties the whole thing together is the printing itself: a 2/7 body that survives most of what would kill a value engine, so the plant that seeds the graveyard loop is also the one hardest to remove from the middle of it. The three-color identity asks for a real commitment, but the reward is a lands-matter engine that treats its own graveyard as a resource to be spent and refilled rather than a place cards go to be forgotten.

Rules text

Landfall — Whenever a land you control enters, create a 0/1 green Plant creature token. If you control seven or more lands with different names, create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token instead. Land cards in your graveyard have dredge 2. (You may return a land card from your graveyard to your hand and mill two cards instead of drawing a card.)
