Every clause here bends toward the same problem and its self-correcting answer. The extra-land ability wants you to flood the board; the +1/+0-per-land scaling turns that flood into raw power, so a body that starts at 0/3 becomes a genuine threat only after you've committed lands you'd rather be casting spells with. Then the end-step bounce claws one of those lands back to your hand, capping the runaway and handing you a land to replay next turn: the loop feeds the extra-drop ability that started the whole engine. The friction is real and mechanical, not incidental. Because the creature's power is tethered entirely to lands you actually control at any given moment, chip damage between your turns and your opponent's is a live concern, and every bounced land is a point of power surrendered until you refill. The design rewards a manabase built to be replayed rather than banked: fetch-style effects, lands that do something on entry, anything that makes the mandatory bounce a feature instead of a tax. The three abilities do not read as three perks stapled together; they are one circuit, and dismantling any single piece collapses the other two. A ramp enabler, a scaling beater, and a built-in governor, all wired so that the same lands doing the ramping are the lands doing the swinging.
