Springheart Nantuko + Tireless Provisioner

Overview
If Springheart Nantuko is attached to Tireless Provisioner as a bestow Aura, both permanents' landfall abilities will trigger when a land enters; you may pay {1}{G} for Nantuko's triggered ability (because it’s attached to a creature), and if you do you create a token copy of the enchanted creature (Tireless Provisioner). The token enters as a separate creature and will not have the Nantuko Aura attached to it. Landfall triggers from the original Tireless Provisioner and from Springheart Nantuko are separate triggers you put on the stack in any order [2024-11-08].
Step 1
A land enters the battlefield under your control; this causes landfall triggers for each permanent you control that has a landfall ability to trigger [Ruling [2024-11-08]].
Step 2
Put the two landfall triggered abilities (Tireless Provisioner’s and Springheart Nantuko’s) on the stack in the order you choose; the last placed will resolve first [Ruling [2024-11-08]].
Step 3
When the Springheart Nantuko landfall trigger resolves while Nantuko is attached to a creature you control, you may pay {1}{G} because the ability’s text allows that payment only if this permanent is attached to a creature you control .
Step 4
If you pay {1}{G} as part of that ability resolving, the ability creates a token that’s a copy of the enchanted creature (the creature Nantuko is attached to) and that token enters the battlefield as a separate creature permanent. The token will not have the Springheart Nantuko Aura attached because Auras are separate objects and effects that put non-Aura permanents onto the battlefield attached do not attach them; the token therefore enters unattached to Nantuko .
Step 5
If you did not pay (because the Aura wasn’t attached or you chose not to), the Nantuko ability’s fallback clause creates a 1/1 green Insect creature token as written .
Step 6
When the Tireless Provisioner landfall trigger resolves, you choose whether to create a Food or Treasure token as normal; note that a Food or Treasure created by this landfall cannot be retroactively used to pay costs already paid during resolution of a different triggered ability (see Ruling [2024-11-08]) [Ruling [2024-11-08]].
Resolution
Scenario A — Nantuko cast for bestow and attached to your Tireless Provisioner: When a land you control enters, both permanents’ landfall abilities trigger; you may put them on the stack in any order [2024-11-08]. When the Springheart Nantuko trigger resolves, you may pay {1}{G} because the Nantuko permanent is attached to a creature you control; if you pay it, you create a token that’s a copy of that creature (a token copy of Tireless Provisioner). That token is a separate creature permanent and will not have Springheart Nantuko attached (Auras are separate objects and do not become attached to the token) . Scenario B — Nantuko is not attached to a creature at the time the landfall trigger resolves (for example, it’s a creature or became unattached before resolution): You can’t pay the “if attached” payment, so you won’t create a copy; instead the ability’s fallback creates a 1/1 green Insect token .
