 abilities can be activated, if it has any) on the turn it becomes unattached if it's been under your control continuously, even as an Aura, since your most recent turn began.Springheart Nantuko gives green landfall decks a flexible choice between producing small tokens and copying a creature they already control. Played as a creature, it creates a 1/1 Insect whenever a land enters under your control. Bestowed onto another creature, it can instead let you pay two mana for each landfall trigger to create a token copy of that creature.
The copy mode rewards creatures with powerful entry abilities or repeatable effects. Scute Swarm can multiply your token engine, while Eternal Witness can turn a land drop and the additional payment into recovery of a card from your graveyard. In decks with extra land plays, the ability can become a substantial source of value without requiring repeated creature spells.
Fetch lands provide two separate land entries, giving you multiple chances to pay for copies or simply accept Insect tokens. Lotus Cobra can help fund those payments, and additional land-play effects such as Exploration keep the triggers coming. You do not have to pay for a copy every time; the small token option remains useful when you need mana for interaction or another spell.
Choose the enchanted creature carefully. Copies of legendary creatures usually run into the legend rule, and copying a creature does not copy counters or Equipment attached to it. Bestow also gives Nantuko some resilience: if it stops being attached, it can remain as a creature and continue producing Insects from later land drops.
