Toph, the First Metalbender

Legendary Creature — Human Warrior Ally

Nontoken artifacts you control are lands in addition to their other types.
At the beginning of your end step, earthbend 2. (Target land becomes a 0/0 creature with haste. Put two +1/+1 counters on it. When it dies or is exiled, return it to the battlefield tapped.)

3 / 3

CORE ENGINE: Toph turns all nontoken artifacts into lands → triggers landfall when artifacts ETB. Earthbend animates lands as creatures → when they die, they return tapped = MORE landfall triggers. Layer lifelink via equipment (Loxodon Warhammer, Basilisk Collar) and enchantments (True Conviction) to weaponize the wide board into a life engine. Key combo: Retreat to Kazandu + Felidar Retreat + artifact spam = massive board + counters every turn. Courser of Kruphix + Tireless Provisioner = artifact tokens that ARE lands via Toph = double landfall. True Conviction turns earthbent lands into lifelink double-strikers. Win by going wide, gaining 40+ life/turn, or Aetherflux Reservoir laser.
