Bumi, King of Three Trials

Bumi is a 6cmc 4/4 whose ETB offers up to X modal choices (counters on self, scry 3, or earthbend 3), gated behind the number of Lesson cards in your graveyard — a highly specific condition that limits his power outside dedicated Lesson/learn shells. He fits best in lands-matter or +1/+1 counters strategies where earthbend and self-pumping synergize, but the graveyard prerequisite and high cost keep him at fringe power in both Commander and Brawl.

• Bumi's ETB modes are only unlocked up to the count of Lesson cards in your graveyard — in a typical green deck with zero Lessons, he may produce zero choices at all, making him a vanilla 4/4 for 6 without dedicated support.

• Earthbend 3 turns a land into a 3/3 haste creature that returns tapped if it dies, making it a resilient threat that pairs especially well with landfall triggers (the land re-entering the battlefield can re-trigger them).

• The scry 3 mode targets any player, which is useful in political multiplayer Commander situations but provides no card advantage on its own.
