Overlord of the Hauntwoods
Enchantment Creature — Avatar Horror
Impending 4— (If you cast this spell for the impending cost, this enters the battlefield with four time counters and isn't a creature until the last is removed.At the beginning of your end step, remove a time counter from it.)
Whenever this enters the battlefield or attacks, create a tapped colourless land token named Everywhere that is every basic land type.

Bookrook, thanks for the upvote and suggestions! I will probably include 2x Unstoppable Slasher.
Come Back Wrong is interesting, but I think very situational. Because it is sorcery speed, it would be good for a creature with a good ETB effect, but otherwise paying that extra black mana is just a bit slow. With Gruul Prowess and several midrange decks jamming the top-played decks, I don't think there are many good targets that would consistently show up that are worth the extra cost of this sorcery-speed spell or worth having just until the end of our current turn. We'll see how the metagame shapes up in the next few weeks, though, as Come Back Wrong might be an interesting sideboard tech.
Overlord of the Hauntwoods doesn't fit very well. We're not really trying to ramp into larger threats, and we already have Sheoldred, the Apocalypse (with deathtouch!) and Aclazotz, Deepest Betrayal Flip at the top of the curve. I think both of those pay higher dividends in this particular type of deck than the Overlord would. In this deck, we're more about efficiency with creatures and removal than we are about trying to jam large creatures out ahead of schedule. Overlord, then, is probably not the best fit for this deck.
Thanks again for the upvote and for the suggestions!
hyalopterouslemur on MASSIVE EDH RC ban list …

@Caerwyn: Exactly. I'd argue that free mana (excepting Lotus Petal
maybe) is inherently OP. Notice that the Power Nine includes no fewer than six free mana artifacts. Would it make a lot of people who have Mana Crypt or Jeweled Lotus happy? Obviously it didn't. (Jeweled Lotus in particular is literally worthless now, but that's the cost of thinking of Magic cards as an "investment". The same thing happened to comic books in the 90s and nearly destroyed the industry.)
The RC can't make everyone happy. I'm still smarting over the ban on Primeval Titan and later, Sylvan Primordial; I'm eyeing Overlord of the Hauntwoods with skepticism because it so reminds me of PT. (At the time my reasoning was that ramp at six or seven mana isn't bannable when mana accel for free is still in the game; all mana accel is very dependent on mana cost.) But I understand why the ban was done, and you know? These new bans suggest the RC is starting to agree with me, by simply banning Mana Crypt and the like as well.

Late realization but Bello, Bard of the Brambles will probably work well with Impending creatures, since I imagine a lot of them will have an MV over 4.
You can do stuff like
T3 Bello
T4 Overlord of the Hauntwoods, make a land on ETB, then make another on attack.
Not quite like a three-mana Explosive Vegetation since you can't cast it on-curve, but still pretty good.
