Aang, at the Crossroads // Aang, Destined Savior

Legendary Creature — Human Avatar Ally // Legendary Creature — Avatar Ally · {2}{G}{W}{U} · Green/Blue/White commander

Flying When Aang enters, look at the top five cards of your library. You may put a creature card with mana value 4 or less from among them onto the battlefield. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. When another creature you control leaves the battlefield, transform Aang at the beginning of the next upkeep. Flying Land creatures you control have vigilance. At the beginning of combat on your turn, earthbend 2. (Target land you control becomes a 0/0 creature with haste that's still a land. Put two +1/+1 counters on it. When it dies or is exiled, return it to the battlefield tapped.)
