Enchantment
Whenever you attack a player with one or more creatures with power 4 or greater, draw a card.
Exhaust — : Earthbend 4. Activate only during your turn. (Target land you control becomes a 0/0 creature with haste that's still a land. Put four +1/+1 counters on it. When it dies or is exiled, return it to the battlefield tapped. Activate each exhaust ability only once.)

Exhaust abilities can be activated any time you could normally activate an ability.

If an exhaust ability of a permanent is activated, and then that permanent leaves the battlefield and returns to the battlefield, it becomes a new object so its exhaust ability can be activated again.
wotc2 Oct 2025
If a land was animated by earthbend and would go to any zone other than the graveyard or exile, it will not be returned to the battlefield by the delayed triggered ability created by earthbend.

The land will retain any other types, subtypes, or supertypes it previously had. It will also retain any mana abilities it had as a result of those subtypes. For example, a Forest that's turned into a creature this way can still be tapped for {G}.

Earthbend doesn't give the land you control a color. As most lands are colorless, in most cases the resulting land creature will also be colorless.

Bitter Work's first ability has you draw just one card per player you attack with a creature with power 4 or greater, no matter how many creatures with power 4 or greater you attack them with beyond the first.
