@allmighty_abacus
Why hallo there, I'm here to counter your points.
First of all, "Guys, first of all this is a legend from the kamigawa block. A legendary enchantment at that. How can an enchantment be legendary? If it were a man land that would make sense, but as is, it's just stupid."
Flavor argument, not worth discussing.
"Secondly for everyone saying zOMFG 8/12 TRAMPLE EPIC WIN SUPER POWER 5 STARS it's not even a creature most of the time. You have to pay mana for it. To activate a legendary enchantment. An enchantment, which are notoriously bad for card advantage. I mean, what if someone eye of nowhered the land on their turn after you dropped this? Good job, you're down a land and lost your precious legendary enchantment. I mean, manlands offer a similiar effect without *** over both card advantage and mana curve. Jesus christ people come on. 4.5 stars is dumb."
Okay, let's say it was a 8/12 creature. Turn after you play it, during it's summon... (see all)

@Superllama12
I think you need to read the card again. You don't get the land back if it dies, you get the enchantment back if the land dies.

@darkfury: If Genju of the Realm takes lethal damage the land goes to the graveyard and the Genju enchantment goes back to your hand.

Mark my words, when they make "From the Vault: Hallows" or whatever name they make up for the Enchantment set (and they WILL), this will be in it.
FTV: Dragons (actually doesn't fit the Vault pattern very much. It's just the kick off of the series.)
FTV: Everything
FTV: Artifacts
FTV: Creatures
FTV: Lands
Betcha anything FTV: Enchantments is next.
I don't think Instants will get their own Vault, as I just can't imagine anything to name
that set that wouldn't sould incredibly cheesy. "FTV: Zoom?" "FTV: Speedy?" "FTV: Flash?"
nah. I mean MAYBE Wizards can name it something brilliant, but more likely, "FTV: Spells"
or "FTV: Magic" will be an Instant AND Sorcery Vault set. 8 of one, 7 of the other?
Then they could start "FTV: Blue", "FTV: Red", "FTV: Green", etc.- that gives them 5 more Vaults, for a total of 11 so far...and after THAT many years of Magic sets, I think....just maybe...
FTV: Planeswalkers could become...you know, a thing? Karn, Bolas, and Jace pretty much guarantee... (see all)

This card works great in a Sunburst Deck. With some Chromatic Spheres and some Guild Lands, this can be dropped by turn 4.
As for the debate of weather this card works, if you pay its coast in succession, it stays a Creature, essentially having to pay 4 to use it. Of course, because of that, unless you have alot of disposable Mana, it can really hurt you during multi-player games, but if your playing a Sunburst deck, you shouldn't worry about damage that much, unless it's coming your way, which makes this sort of like an Instant defender.

just wondering, if you block this for terminal damage, does the land get discarded?

Can you activate the ability numersous times therefore multiplying the Trample effect?
This is possible with Genju of the Fields but with Lifelink.

This card is crap people! It takes 1 of every color and dies to Enchantment, land, and creature removal.
