Felidar Retreat
Enchantment
Landfall — Whenever a land you control enters, choose one —
• Create a 2/2 white Cat Beast creature token.
• Put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control. Those creatures gain vigilance until end of turn.
Why Play Felidar Retreat
Landfall decks want this versatile enchantment for its ability to either build a wide board presence or pump an existing army. The flexibility between creating 2/2 tokens or distributing +1/+1 counters lets you adapt to different board states—go wide when you need blockers or pressure, go tall when you're ready to alpha strike. Playing additional lands through fetch lands, ramp spells, or land-based engines like Azusa, Lost but Seeking turns every land drop into immediate value.Format Notes
Commander represents the strongest home for this card, where it slots into landfall-focused decks and token strategies with abundant ramp and fetch lands. Standard and Pioneer have seen occasional play in aggressive white-based landfall decks, though it faces competition from more immediately impactful four-mana threats. The card remains legal across all major formats with no ban concerns, but its relatively high mana cost limits its competitive viability outside of slower formats.Combos & Synergies
Fetch lands like Windswept Heath create immediate value by triggering landfall twice in one turn, effectively netting two tokens or a significant board pump. Scapeshift becomes a devastating finisher, potentially creating multiple tokens while pumping your entire team for a lethal attack. Lotus Cobra pairs excellently by converting those extra land drops into mana, letting you deploy more threats alongside your landfall triggers.Featured in These Decks
