With Battle for Zendikar bringing back landfall should I pick up a playset of Sword of the Animist? What's the risk of landfall being an only limited mechanic?

I have a foil that I'm holding onto for that specific reason. That and it goes great in my Omnath, Locus of Rage EDH deck.

I think it has the potential to be big in Standard, especially 
based Landfall decks. Outside of Standard, it looks good in EDH and that's about it.

It's fairly safe, it likely won't go lower than it already is, if nothing else just because of commander appeal. It'll probably go up when BFZ releases, so I'd sell then.

I would not expect landfall to be a constructed mechanic outside of maybe a couple cards. That being said sword of the animist is orobably not going to be the way to trigger landfall in standard.

Sword of the Animist will go up when BFZ comes out. It will at least double. You will get a low profit, but a profit.
