No. He's not even close to russian. Ivan Drago is far closer - at least first name is russian...Quote:

And Markov is a Russian surname, so they're even. Sorin is Romanian, though.Quote:

How does Landfall work exactly? Is it just a pointless keyword for "do broken stuff with fetchlands" or does it really require you to play the lands?Quote:

Close, but not clearly russian. Something like Marakov or Marokov could make the cut, but not Markov.Quote:

Jesus, you guys can't tell that Chandra text is fake? Some kid just took the card frame and made up what he wanted.
Landfall is pretty broken with Fetches, and I think Stax/Landstill can all benefit from it (Crucible MD) since these are decks that want to generate board advantage with minimal mana investment e.g. Elspeth.
Perhaps the most broken deck that abuses Landfall is 43Lands. Wow lol.
But that green dude is trash. Here's to hope there's better Landfall cards that's relevant to Stax/Landstill/Lands.dec
I am really digging this new Landfall mechanic.
I could see this being potentially very broken if certain cards are printed.
Landfall also seems pretty good with Knight of the Reliquary... fetching fetches.
It might be decent in Extended with UGx Tron since Wizards lost its inevitability (Wizard bounce land).
Hopefully the casting cost for Landfall cards remains relatively high because even Standard has Panorama, Terramorphic Expanse, and Borderpost (replay the lands).
No I was talking about the spoiled land art not the above post lol.
Seriously, as if the bad wording of the card wasn't a dead give away.Quote:

Sweet. If there are some good cards with it then I really want to try some sort of G/W build with Fetches, Flagstones, and Crop Rotations.Quote:

Even though I would love to be proven wrong, I predict another year of not having to care about purchasing singles. :cool:
Edit: About the coolness of traps, hey, Mercadian Masques also gave us awesome free spells!
