Combo Question
Commander Deck Help forum

Can you infintely cast the newly spoiled Skyclave Shade with Aluren from your graveyard? If so, I would put this in my Varolz, the Scar-Striped deck as a backup for if I were to lose my Endless Cockroaches. Pretty much infinitely sac the cockroaches to varolz and play them with aluren with a Blood Artist, Grave Pact, Forgotten Ancient, or any other thing that cares abt things being cast or dying. So would substituting the shade for the cockroaches still allow this combo to go infinite?

i've seen this question on other sites as well. are triggered abilities really so hard to understand?

I think it was less about the triggered ability and more about gaining the ability to be cast from the graveyard, which does not persist through multiple zones.

Flooremoji: the ability to be cast from the graveyard is part of the triggered ability though.

For some reason every time I try to move this to the rules Q&A, it craps itself (yeaGO, did you want to give it a crack?).
Swim_ish: For future reference, please remember to use the Rules Q&A for card questions - even for cards that haven't been released (assuming they have been officially spoiled).
As for your atual question, as stated above, the landfall effect refers to that instance of the card. When an object moves zones, it becomes a new instance of itself. So the once you cast it from the graveyard, it will have no longer seen the old landfall trigger and so can no longer be cast from the graveyard. You could potentially use it with Perilous Forays and Aluren to keep re-triggering landfall, but that's about it.
