Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth + Life and Limb + Plague Engineer
- 1Yavimaya causes all lands to be Forests in addition to their other types, thus Life and Limb causes all lands to be 1/1 Saproling creatures.
- 2Because Plague Engineer gives all Saprolings your opponents control -1/-1, they die as a state-based action due to having zero toughness.
- 3Whenever an opponent plays a land, it will also die as a state-based action.
