Avatar: The Last Airbender (TLA)

Earthbend

The rule

Target land you control becomes a 0/0 creature with haste that is still a land, with N +1/+1 counters; when it dies or is exiled, it returns to the battlefield tapped.

In play

Each effect adds a body without spending a creature card and the land comes back if it dies, but you expose one of your lands to combat and removal.
