Toph, the First Metalbender makes your nontoken artifacts into lands and earthbends 2 at each of your end steps, turning lands into growing haste creatures that return to the battlefield if they die or are exiled. The deck piles +1/+1 counters onto those land creatures, multiplies them with counter doublers, and gives them trample so large land-creatures can attack through blockers. Landfall triggers and artifact-lands (which also count as lands for those triggers) provide extra value and mana along the way. How it wins: Attack with oversized, trampling land creatures that carry many +1/+1 counters, and use extra combat phases or double strike to push lethal damage. Key cards: - Earthbend enablers: These put large numbers of counters on lands, with Avatar Kyoshi, Earthbender earthbending 8 every combat and Toph, Earthbending Master earthbending every time you attack. - Counter multipliers: These increase every counter you place, so Solid Ground and The Earth Crystal turn each earthbend into a much bigger creature. - Combat payoffs: These turn big land creatures into lethal threats, with Toph, Greatest Earthbender giving land creatures double strike and Bumi, Unleashed granting extra land-only combats and untapping lands. - Landfall engines: These reward the steady stream of lands and artifact-lands entering, with Scute Swarm and Tannuk, Memorial Ensign adding bodies and direct damage. - Counter-based support: These reward creatures with counters, as Badgermole gives them trample and Toph, the Blind Bandit grows with every counter on your lands.
