Deck overview

This Naya deck is built around Toph, the First Metalbender, turning nontoken artifacts into lands and earthbending lands into hasty, resilient creature-lands that return to the battlefield if removed. Dense 1–2 CMC mana acceleration rapidly develops the mana base into powerful mid-game engines. The deck's primary win condition is an infinite combat loop between Ashaya, Soul of the Wild and Bumi, Unleashed: Ashaya turns all nontoken creatures into Forest lands, allowing Bumi to earthbend itself with haste and repeatedly untap all creatures upon dealing combat damage. Backup plans leverage massive +1/+1 counter scaling from Bristly Bill, Spine Sower, double strike from Toph, Greatest Earthbender, and earthbend 8 from Avatar Kyoshi, Earthbender. Protection spells like Grand Abolisher and Silence ensure uninterrupted victory windows.
