Landfall — Whenever a land you control enters, create a 1/1 white Human Warrior creature token.
Guide
Gameplan
Maja turns every land drop into a body and pumps your whole team, so you flood the board with tokens and swing wide for lethal. Early turns ramp and develop mana, mid-game you chain land drops and anthem effects, and you close with a go-wide alpha strike or overrun.
Strengths
- Generates free token bodies just by playing lands, even at instant speed with extra land drops
- Built-in anthem makes a wide board hit hard immediately
- GW has the best ramp, lands matter, and token support in the format
- Resilient go-wide plan that grinds through removal
Weaknesses
- Heavily reliant on the commander for the anthem and token engine—removal sets you back
- Vulnerable to board wipes, especially with so much value invested on the battlefield
- No native card draw or evasion in the colors; can stall against flyers/blockers
- Slow to close without a payoff like overrun or extra combats
Key Cards
- Scute Swarm — With Maja out, each land triggers both the Swarm and a Human token, snowballing absurdly.
- Tireless Tracker — Turns extra land drops into clues and counters, fueling card advantage alongside tokens.
- Craterhoof Behemoth — The premier finisher to convert your wide token board into game-ending damage.
- Burgeoning — Extra land drops mean extra Human tokens, accelerating the engine for free.
- Cultivate — Ramp that also triggers landfall, advancing your board while fixing mana.
- Avenger of Zendikar — Pairs with Maja's anthem and landfall to flood and pump the board explosively.
- Felidar Retreat — Stacks another landfall payoff, doubling token output or pumping the team.
Upgrade Path
Add more extra-land-drop enablers (Exploration, Azusa, Ramunap Excavator with fetchlands) to maximize tokens, and lean on doublers like Doubling Season and Anointed Procession. Diversify your finishers beyond Craterhoof with Triumph of the Hordes or Pathbreaker Ibex, and protect Maja with Heroic Intervention and Teferi's Protection to survive wipes.
