Rationale

6cmc legendary 8/8 trample that doubles green mana production from lands — whenever you tap a land for mana, you get an additional {G}. Premier mana-doubler for green ramp-big-mana shells, effectively doubling land mana production each turn cycle and enabling explosive follow-up plays. At 6 mana it's a massive beater that closes games quickly, but it demands a critical mass of lands and green mana to fully exploit its triggered ability, making it mostly a top-end value piece rather than a combo enabler.

Learnings (3)

  • The mana-doubling trigger fires once per land tapped for mana, so tapping multiple lands in a single turn (e.g., to cast a big spell) yields multiple {G} additions — this can chain into very large mana pools in a single turn without any untap shenanigans.

  • Because the trigger produces {G} specifically (not colorless), it is strictly better than generic mana doublers in mono-green or heavily green shells but does nothing to help off-color pips — important for multicolor builds.

    tagging · claude-sonnet-4-6

  • As a legendary creature, it qualifies as a commander and benefits from Mox Amber or other commander-dependent synergies, but its high CMC (6) means those payoffs come online slowly.
