Lands Matter Payoff

Payoffs that read the count of lands you control rather than a land entering. Three shapes: per-land scaling (Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar gets +1/+1 for each land; Avenger of Zendikar makes a Plant for each land; Brass's Bounty makes a Treasure for each land; Stonefury deals damage equal to the number of lands), count-set stats (Molimo, Maro-Sorcerer and Ulvenwald Hydra have power and toughness equal to the number of lands), and thresholds (Temple of the False God taps for two only with five lands; Scorpion Sentinel and Woodborn Behemoth grow at seven or eight; Dragonmaster Outcast and Field of the Dead switch on at six or seven). The Commander lands deck's top end. Distinct from Landfall, which triggers on a land entering and does not count the board (Lotus Cobra); a card with both, like Avenger of Zendikar, carries both. Distinct from Land Ramp and Extra Land Drop, which build the count instead of cashing it in, and from Land Tutor. Catch-up clauses that compare land counts between players (Land Tax) and fetch-land riders (Fabled Passage's untap) are not payoffs and stay out.
