Another mash-up of ((C22100)) and Fertilize

This time, taking the obvious approach of searching for both a creature and a land, which seems very green, but I don't think anything does yet?

I'm not sure what this should cost, or if it should put some restriction (eg. a green creature and a forest). Or if it should put the land onto the battlefield.

I think current standards try to give green some creature searching, but without making it as universally tutoring as blue or black. So ideally this would offer some restriction. I was thinking about perhaps "a creature not in play" or "a creature other than the one your opponent names" when I thought of the previous mashup.

Reminds me of Gift of the Gargantuan. (And curiously this is waay better than it, when this didn't look obviously too strong to me, by comparison to Eladamri's Call or Living Wish.) I think green is the colour that gets to search for creatures, though; I don't think Brutalizer Exarch was meant to be one of New Phyrexia's colour-bleed cards.

Make the land and creature have to be the same colour? (you know what I mean wrt land colour)

I think the efficiency of green's creature search varies wildly, a bit like its card draw, so sometimes it gets something quite anaemic, and sometimes it gets green sun's zenith or birthing pod. And that maybe there's not supposed to be a critical mass of it, so you can play "green decks that get a bit more consistency" but not usually "green combo deck".

This is deceptively powerful. Aggresively-costed tutors are one thing. But two cards for three mana, especially if there's a potential combo between them, is just insane. If they didn't want to push this, it could easily cost {4}{g}{g}.
