: Add Overlord of the Hauntwoods begins by making a land and can keep making more when it attacks. Its entry and attack trigger creates a tapped land token named Everywhere with every basic land type. That provides access to all five colors and counts toward domain, giving ramp decks both more mana and better color coverage.
Impending offers a cheaper start. For three mana, the Overlord enters with four time counters and remains a noncreature enchantment until the last is removed. You still get the entry trigger and the Everywhere token immediately. A counter comes off at each of your end steps, so the creature body arrives later unless another effect changes the counters or permanent.
The token is not a basic land merely because it has all basic land types. Effects that care about Forests, Islands, or other land types can recognize it, but effects requiring a basic land look for the basic supertype. Landfall cards such as Lotus Cobra can reward the token's arrival, while domain cards appreciate having all five types represented by one land.
Casting the Overlord normally costs more but gives you a creature ready to attack on a later turn without waiting through impending. Blink effects can generate another entry trigger and reset the permanent in useful ways. Choose the casting mode according to your curve: the cheaper version accelerates development, while the full-cost version begins threatening repeated land production through combat much sooner.
