Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth + Life and Limb + Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite
Destroy all lands opponents controlDestroy all lands that enter the battlefield under an opponent's controlLockMass Land Denial
How it works
- Yavimaya causes all lands to be Forests in addition to their other types, thus Life and Limb causes all lands to be 1/1 Saproling creatures.
- Because Elesh Norn gives all creatures your opponents control -2/-2, they die as a state-based action due to having less than zero toughness.
- Whenever an opponent plays a land, it will also die as a state-based action.
This devastating lockdown is born from the synergy of Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth, which quietly ensures every single land on the battlefield is a Forest. That shared type allows Life and Limb to transform every land into a 1/1 green Saproling creature in addition to its other types, bridging the gap between mana sources and vulnerable creatures. Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite then drops the hammer with a permanent -2/-2 penalty for the opposition, immediately wiping out every land your opponents control and ensuring any future land drop perishes instantly as a state-based action.
