Deck overview

This is a mono-green lands-matter / landfall deck helmed by The Earth King, who generates a 4/4 Bear token on entry and, whenever one or more of your power-4+ creatures attack, fetches that many basic lands directly onto the battlefield. That attack trigger is the deck's engine: it ramps explosively, feeds a dense landfall package (Avenger of Zendikar, Rampaging Baloths, Scute Swarm, Lotus Cobra), and grows the lands-matter threats (Braulios of Pheres Band, Harmonious Grovestrider, Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar, Blackblade Reforged). The primary win is a single overwhelming combat step - Craterhoof Behemoth, End-Raze Forerunners, Become the Avalanche, or Unnatural Growth turning a wide token board lethal. Secondary paths are incremental trample damage from huge land-scaled creatures and Genesis Wave/Animist's Awakening as mana sinks. It is a classic ramp-into-payoff midrange deck with no fast combo.
