Rationale
4cmc 4/4 green creature. Attack trigger: earthbend X lands (animating them as 0/0 creatures and putting X +1/+1 counters on them) based on creature count with power 4+. Signature in counters-voltron and lands-matter shells that can quickly assemble large creatures. Weak to removal before attack resolves and depends on attacking, making it telegraphed and vulnerable in faster formats. Requires creature density (threshold of power 4+) to generate value."
