Beifong’s Bounty Hunters is a card that can do almost anything in the right context. You might like that type of card or you might not, but you’re likely to find yourself on the sharp end of it in coming months. Because the most basic scenario is that all of your creatures get a second life – and maybe more than that, considering all the recursion options in black and green. On top of that, don’t forget that those colors had a sacrifice subtheme in Foundations (and a lot of other recent sets, by the way) which gives you a lot of control over when and how this card earthbends. It might look like a minor downside that you only get the sacrificed creature’s combat stats and not its abilities; it doesn’t have to be. Magic’s backlog has creatures where the best use for them can be to somehow separate their stats and their text box – think of Phyrexian Soulgorger and the like – and this card lets you do that with a better-than-solid plan B.
Also, I know it seems like a stretch in a Commander-focused, color-identity-conscious world like the one we live in, but Infinity Elemental is still a thing. Just saying.

The earthbending mechanic has peeked my interest ever since the first leaks for Avatar showed on the interwebs.
Making creatures out of lands and giving them a second life is quite potent. Currently it’s mostly going to be printed on the Jund side of things, and that seems quite logical. Ramping, going wide, recursion, these are classic black/red/green mechanics.
This 4/4 is quite the gatekeeper. It replaces dying creatures with new ones (and those are still lands). Moreover, it gives counters to the new creature equal to the dying creature’s power. So someone finally kills your Sire and you immediately get a 7/7 back. It also replaces itself upon death.
