­Wyluli Wolf asked me to mash it.

Now, green does NOT normally get land destruction. So we'll have to go sneaky-ways to get it. and it's common, so we'll stay within french-vanilla.

I really want the wyluli wolf to be able to eat this. But it has to tap to use its ability, so I can't see how I can. I'll keep the +1/+1 enter the battlefield idea; the altenative is an overpowered creature than an opponent can sac a land to counter (much like the red 4-damage-sorcery-in-disguise-creature whose name I forget right now. It's probably a goblin, or a skirk)

­Vexing Devil. And yes, you could go the Shivan Wumpus route here, but I think this is fine.

(In fact, green gets 2/2s for {1}{g} with an ability at common, so this is kinda horribly underpowered. But it'd be too good at {g}. How about {1}{g} 1/2?)

gg->1g, add deathtouch

Oh, duh; yes. Of COURSE green is allowed Grizzly Bears.

This had haste right up until the last minute; when I realised green didn't get that. but I forgot to give it compensation.

Don't want it to be bigger than 2/2 for flavour reasons though (I mean, a 1/1 that taps to grant +1/+1 UEOT eats them right?)

Ok, single keyword is sufficiently vanilla; can't be haste - green DOES get deathtouch. Still within green's putative power - but this hasn't quite been printed without a downside clause yet; so it's probably viable.

Edit: And now my design is STUPID. Because the reason green never got a 2/2 deathtoucher is that a 1/1 deathtoucher is just as powerful; and why would anyone sac a land to change that? Rethink required.

I don't understand what you're meaning by "eat it" at all. But a 2/2 deathtoucher is better at attacking than a 1/1 deathtoucher; a 3/3 deathtoucher even more so.

How about a variation on Bond Beetle: put the +1/+1 counter on target creature?

Flavour text of Wyluli Wolf.

That.. could work.

as suggested - makes it kinda wordy though.
