Solid Ground is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
When this enchantment enters, earthbend 3. (Target land you control becomes a 0/0 creature with haste that's still a land. Put three +1/+1 counters on it. When it dies or is exiled, return it to the battlefield tapped.) If one or more +1/+1 counters would be put on a permanent you control, that many plus one +1/+1 counters are put on it instead.
How it works : Solid Ground
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
The land will retain any other types, subtypes, or supertypes it previously had. It will also retain any mana abilities it had as a result of those subtypes. For example, a Forest that's turned into a creature this way can still be tapped for
.No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If a permanent you control would enter with a number of +1/+1 counters on it, it enters with that many plus one instead.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
If the targeted land becomes an illegal target before the spell or ability that includes earthbend resolves, earthbend does nothing. If the spell or ability didn't have other targets, it won't resolve.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
If you control multiple copies of Solid Ground, they each increase the number of +1/+1 counters put on a permanent you control by one.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #5· Wizards of the Coast
If two or more effects attempt to modify how many counters would be put on a permanent you control, you choose the order to apply those effects, no matter who controls the sources of those effects.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #6· Wizards of the Coast
You may target a land that is already a creature, perhaps because of a previous earthbend ability. The land will get the +1/+1 counters, gain haste, and have its base power and toughness set to 0/0.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #7· Wizards of the Coast
Earthbend doesn't give the land you control a color. As most lands are colorless, in most cases the resulting land creature will also be colorless.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #8· Wizards of the Coast
If a land was animated by earthbend and would go to any zone other than the graveyard or exile, it will not be returned to the battlefield by the delayed triggered ability created by earthbend.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #9· Wizards of the Coast
"Earthbend N" means "Target land you control becomes a 0/0 land creature with haste in addition to its other types. Put N +1/+1 counters on it. When it dies or is exiled, return it to the battlefield tapped under your control."
