When this creature dies, 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.)
Earth Village Ruffians is a 3/1 for {2}{B/G} that feels like a small-time thug with an earthbender’s insurance policy: on death it “earthbends” a land into a 0/0 creature with haste and two +1/+1 counters that returns if it dies again. Thematically it reads as village fighters animating terrain to keep fighting, mechanically supporting a tempo/value archetype that converts creature removal into recurring attackers and sacrifice fodder. It’s excellent in aristocrat or midrange shells—sacrifice outlets like Viscera Seer or Mayhem Devil and drain engines such as Zulaport Cutthroat multiply the value of both the initial death and the recurring land-creature; pairing with Cathars’ Crusade or other enter-the-battlefield pump effects can snowball the returned land into a much larger threat. Deckbuilding tip: slot spare basics or expendable utility lands as targets (avoid turning your scarce duals that you need untapped) and include a repeatable sac enabler to turn the Ruffians’ death trigger into ongoing advantage.
