Today's Challenge:
Enchant land

.::To Enter::.
In a single post:

• Name exactly two other players to vote for their entries for the previous challenge. (In the event that there are two or fewer entries that you are allowed to vote for, you may vote for only one.)

• Make a card that fits the current challenge.

• Include an "If I Win" (IIW) for tomorrow's challenge if you win.

Each day we use the challenge of the previous day's winner. In the case of a tie, we'll use the IIW of the tied player who has least overall points. In case of a further tie, the IIW of the earlier poster will be used.

.::Scoring::. .::Note of the Day::.

Congratulations to April's winner @JovialJovian - who, as it turns out, is pretty good at this contest.

@dyd I had thought about it, but then I realized it wouldn't be a Command, that's established as two out of four. So I chose to put two of the colors together in a single ability. Have I done the right choice? Who knows? Also, I came up with the following card before seeing yours, I hope it's not too similar, especially the flavor text, but I love Quint! He's my favorite character in the whole set.

Cup of Peanuts X
Artifact — Food (U)
Cup of Peanuts enters the battlefield with X peanut counters on it.
1, T, Remove a peanut counter from Cup of Peanuts: Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature.
2, T, Sacrifice Cup of Peanuts: You gain 3 life.
"Thank you! This is a real treat for us loxodon!"
—Quintorius, Lorehold mage-student
