- 4Sméagol triggers.
- 5Holding priority, activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing the Elemental, adding .
- 6Resolve the Sméagol trigger, causing an opponent to reveal cards from the top of their library until they reveal a land card, then causing you to put the land onto the battlefield tapped under your control, and your opponent to put all other revealed cards into their graveyard.
- 7When the land enters the battlefield, Dúnedain Rangers and Zendikar's Roil trigger.
