Toph, Hardheaded Teacher

Not yet bracketed (or genuinely unplaceable).

—

4cmc 3/4 legendary creature with ETB recursion (discard to return instant/sorcery from graveyard) and spellslinger-payoff engine (each spell earthbends a land, Lesson grants +1/+1). Signature in spellslinger shells that run high instant/sorcery density and can turn excess lands into threats. Requires graveyard density and discard enablers; earthbend mechanic is slow and telegraphed without haste granting. Anti-voltron: large toughness and land-focused payoff contradict the single-creature-focused gameplan.
