Titania, Protector of Argoth 3GG
Legendary Creature - Elemental
When Titania, Protector of Argoth enters the battlefield, return target land card from your graveyard to the battlefield.
Whenever a land you control is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, put a 5/3 green Elemental creature token onto the battlefield
I think this card is pretty interesting and has some potential for build around but if your playgroup doesn't like a lot of land destruction it may not be that good of a card. Regardless, Wood Elemental has a new best friend
I can't post any links yet so I can't post the picture of the card but it's in the C14 spoiler.
Land destruction is not what makes this guy good. Being able to sacrifice your own lands is. Wooded Foothills and kin can churn out a ton of tokens, especially when combined with recursion like Crucible of Worlds and multi land plays like Azusa, Lost but Seeking.

My favorite combo would be having her out and right when someone decides to board wipe play
Natural Affinity, of course that would be a bit mean but most likely a win condition
not including all the other interactions I do believe besides all the land sacrificing and recursion that Green has, playing cards that turn your land into creatures will be more powerful in this deck.
IMO this will be most potent as one of the 99 alongside the mass LD that you get access to from other colors. Not only do you generate a huge army with your Geddon, but you also take away the opponent's ability to answer it. From that standpoint I see this card pushing players into a pretty obnoxious direction.
OTOH as a general I think she will be fun, opening up a new style of deck that didn't really have a payoff previously.
Now, how to get lands into the graveyard...The Spike in my says Strip Mine, Scapeshift, and fetchlands, but the casual in me says Zuran Orb. (Never thought I'd say Zuran Orb was 'casual'.)

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
This card looks bleh. It's just uninteresting. What's the power and toughness? Why does it make 5/3 elemental tokens? Is this confirmed? I really hope not.
I've been fishbowling with Titania as commander. The deck is basically: creature + spell + (good) artifact ramp, cards that allow extra lands, some tutors (they are proving not useful), lands with sac abilities, and other land sac outlets. A typical fishbowl gets Titania out T3 with a free 5/3 (if I had a fetchland or similar in my graveyard). T4/T5 I can usually get about 5-8 tokens out, usually with no few/lands remaining (unless I have Scapeshift or something similar). Might be effective in 1v1, but probably not multiplayer.
I was really excited about it at first, but I have to say it gets rather boring. The games all feel the same. Of course, this is just fishbowling. But it's very all-in since you sac all your lands.

Unfortunately, Titania is GatheringMagic's preview, so she's confirmed.
She's a 5/3. She makes Elemental tokens that look like her (well, they have her P/T).

Fortitude will be amazing attached to her.

You can also use Dryad Arbor with Reya Dawnbringer or Sheoldred, Whispering One.
