No. He's not even close to russian. Ivan Drago is far closer - at least first name is russian...Originally Posted by Aggro_zombies
This.
Reminds the situation with Cascade. Wizards must be carefull to not make it too broken.
Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way.
And Markov is a Russian surname, so they're even. Sorin is Romanian, though.

Looks a little like Sephiroth... C'mon for Cloud Strife Planeswalker!

Just saw this spoiled card on MtgSalvation. It seems to be from Facebook.

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?
a bad barren glory/big cheese combo enabler ?
Close, but not clearly russian. Something like Marakov or Marokov could make the cut, but not Markov.

Old-fashioned Russian, then? Or perhaps a different Western translitteration. There's one pretty famous Russian Markov, plus a bunch of others.

Looks bad because it can't ping players. On its own, Chandra has no business to kill or even help to kill a player - and that as a planeswalker. Shocking creatures for loyality is underwhelming and the mana ability would only be good after you used the ultimate - too bad you just apocalypsed yourself.
Horrible design and a complete jank card.
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.
Red Wizard needs food badly!
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.

Do we know for sure if Landfall requires you to play the land, or just triggers on "comes into play"?

This thread shows a picture with the text (although hard to make out), I am pretty sure says "comes into play".
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.
This set was designed by the winners of the great designer search, which got to work at wizards... in jobs totally unrelated with designing cards. This fact alone might give enough warning about the overall quality of Zendikar. Ken Nagle was the only remotely good designer in the bunch, and if you have read his articles, you'll see that his idea of a "fun" card is the total opposite of what an eternal player might consider (even if remotely) playable.
Even though I would love to be proven wrong, I predict another year of not having to care about purchasing singles.
Edit: About the coolness of traps, hey, Mercadian Masques also gave us awesome free spells!
