Rationale

Land that taps for white (conditional ETB-untapped if you control Swamp/Mountain). Activated ability costs {2}{W} to create two 1/1 red Warrior tokens attacking each turn, then sacrifice them. Signature in aggressive token shells; conflicts with control (payoff is too tempo-oriented) and ramp-big-mana (lands should fix mana, not demand tempo activation). Risk: mana-sink-trap (3 mana invested per attack turn is inefficient in most shells), slow-setup, sorcery-speed activation (telegraphed), and once-per-turn-restricted (tokens only per attack phase).
