Geology Enthusiast
Creature — Human Artificer
At the beginning of your end step, create a tapped Powerstone token. (It's an artifact with "
: Add 
. This mana can't be spent to cast a nonartifact spell.")

Geology Enthusiast puts a 0/3 Elemental land creature into play tapped alongside a basic land token, front-loading two permanents onto the board for three mana. Y'shtola Rhul decks run it in nearly a quarter of all builds because that creature-plus-land package triggers spell-matters and enter-the-battlefield engines simultaneously.

Y'shtola Rhul
Y'shtola Rhul cares about casting spells and generating value off each one, and Geology Enthusiast delivers two distinct permanents — a creature and a land — off a single spell, doubling the downstream triggers that engine wants.

Geology Enthusiast is a Commander card. The three-mana rate for a 0/3 plus a tapped basic is far too slow for Modern, Pioneer, or Legacy, where three mana needs to win a board state, not set up a tempo-negative value drip. In Commander, the math shifts: doubling your land drop while putting a body into play off one spell is real, especially in spell-trigger decks that reward every cast regardless of the card's raw power. Outside Commander, leave it on the shelf.
