The Boulder, Ready to Rumble

The Boulder, Ready to Rumble

Legendary Creature — Human Warrior Performer · {3}{G} · Green commander

Whenever The Boulder attacks, earthbend X, where X is the number of creatures you control with power 4 or greater. (Target land you control becomes a 0/0 creature with haste that's still a land. Put X +1/+1 counters on it. When it dies or is exiled, return it to the battlefield tapped.)
