Wizards of the Coast 2 Oct 2025

"Earthbend N" means "Target land you control becomes a 0/0 land creature with haste in addition to its other types. Put N +1/+1 counters on it. When it dies or is exiled, return it to the battlefield tapped under your control."

Wizards of the Coast 2 Oct 2025

Earthbend doesn't give the land you control a color. As most lands are colorless, in most cases the resulting land creature will also be colorless.

Wizards of the Coast 2 Oct 2025

If a land was animated by earthbend and would go to any zone other than the graveyard or exile, it will not be returned to the battlefield by the delayed triggered ability created by earthbend.

Wizards of the Coast 2 Oct 2025

If the targeted land becomes an illegal target before the spell or ability that includes earthbend resolves, earthbend does nothing. If the spell or ability didn't have other targets, it won't resolve.

Wizards of the Coast 2 Oct 2025

The land will retain any other types, subtypes, or supertypes it previously had. It will also retain any mana abilities it had as a result of those subtypes. For example, a Forest that's turned into a creature this way can still be tapped for {G}.

Wizards of the Coast 2 Oct 2025

The restriction that only land creatures can attack applies only to the combat phase created by Bumi, Unleashed, not to any other combat phases that might occur that turn.

Wizards of the Coast 2 Oct 2025

You may target a land that is already a creature, perhaps because of a previous earthbend ability. The land will get the +1/+1 counters, gain haste, and have its base power and toughness set to 0/0.

Color identityEvery color of mana symbol on a card, in its cost and in its rules text. Your commander's color identity sets the limit for your whole deck: every other card has to fit inside it. A deck led by a green and white commander cannot play a card with any blue in its color identity.Open the full glossaryRGPlayers write colors as letters: R for red, G for green.Extra CombatsExtra Combat decks get to attack more than once in a single turn, so their creatures can hit twice or more. They pair with cards that untap creatures, because a creature that attacked is usually tapped and cannot attack again until it untaps.Open the Extra Combats pageExtra CombatGives you an extra combat, a second chance to attack in the same turn. Most, like Aggravated Assault and Aurelia, the Warleader, also untap your creatures so they can attack again, and cards that make a creature hard to block, like Whispersilk Cloak, make each attack count.Open the Extra Combat pageExtra PhaseAdds an extra phase to your turn: usually another combat, though sometimes an additional main phase to cast more spells.
