Ashaya, Soul of the Wild + Bumi, Unleashed
Overview
Ashaya's static ability makes your nontoken creatures into Forest lands in addition to their other types (a type-changing continuous effect that interacts with layers) so they count as lands for the purpose of Ashaya's characteristic-defining power/toughness ability; Ashaya's power and toughness are each equal to the number of lands you control, and that count includes Ashaya itself while it's on the battlefield (see Ruling [2020-09-25]). When Bumi deals combat damage to a player its triggered ability will untap all lands you control (which includes those creatures that are also lands) and create an additional combat phase in which only land creatures may attack (that restriction applies only to the combat phase Bumi creates) (Ruling [2025-10-02]). The basic land type Forest grants the intrinsic ability "

Ashaya’s second static ability makes each nontoken creature you control a Forest land in addition to its other types; that is a type-changing continuous effect applied in the appropriate layer(s) (see ).
Step 2
Because those nontoken creatures gain the basic land type Forest, they are lands and have the intrinsic Forest ability “: Add ” by virtue of having a basic land type ; that activated ability would be a mana ability if used .
: Add ” by virtue of having a basic land type ; that activated ability would be a mana ability if used .Step 3
Ashaya’s first ability is a characteristic-defining ability that sets Ashaya’s power and toughness equal to the number of lands you control; characteristic-defining abilities function everywhere and set power/toughness as described in .
Step 4
While Ashaya remains on the battlefield, it (and any other nontoken creatures that became lands) count as lands for the purpose of Ashaya’s P/T calculation — Ashaya therefore counts itself when determining its P/T (Ruling [2020-09-25]).
Step 5
When Bumi deals combat damage to a player, its triggered ability triggers. When that trigger resolves it untaps all lands you control (this will untap creature-permanents that are also lands) and creates an additional combat phase after this phase; the untap happens when the triggered ability resolves and affects objects as they exist at that time.
Step 6
Because the untap resolves before the additional combat phase, creatures that are lands and were tapped (for example, because they attacked) will be untapped and thus will be able to attack in that additional combat phase if they are otherwise eligible to attack (they are still subject to summoning sickness unless they have haste).
Step 7
The additional combat phase created by Bumi is limited so that only land creatures can attack during that combat phase; that restriction applies only to that extra combat phase (Ruling [2025-10-02]).
Resolution
As long as Ashaya is on the battlefield, each nontoken creature you control becomes a Forest land in addition to its other types; that change is a continuous type-changing effect and makes those creatures count as lands for all purposes (including the number of lands you control used by Ashaya's characteristic-defining ability) . Per Ruling [2020-09-25], Ashaya counts itself when determining its power and toughness. If Bumi deals combat damage to a player, its triggered ability (when it resolves) untaps all lands you control — this will untap creatures that are also lands — and creates an additional combat phase after this phase during which only land creatures may attack; that attack restriction applies only to the additional combat phase created by Bumi [Ruling 2025-10-02]. Note that Ashaya's text also states those creatures are still affected by summoning sickness, so they can't attack in that additional combat phase unless they are otherwise able to attack (for example, if they have haste).
