Rationale

3cmc legendary 0/0 creature whose power/toughness equal lands you control; unblockable vs power-2-or-less creatures. Activated ability recurs itself and a land from the graveyard. Signature in lands-matter shells with sufficient land density (ramp-big-mana). Growing threat that scales with mana acceleration. Risks: requires land-in-hand density for recursion payoff, slow setup without ramp infrastructure, and removal-magnet as a growing flying threat.
