What it does
Flying
Landfall — Whenever a land you control enters, you may gain control of target creature for as long as you control this creature.
Rulings
6 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2009-10-01
If Roil Elemental leaves the battlefield, you no longer control it, so all of its control-change effects end.
- 2009-10-01
You may target a creature you already control with Roil Elemental's ability. This will usually have no visible effect, but it will overwrite any previous control-change effects. For example, if you gain control of Roil Elemental until the end of the turn (with Mark of Mutiny, perhaps), then its landfall ability triggers and you target Roil Elemental itself, you'll gain control of it indefinitely (since its control-change effect will last for as long as you control it).
- 2009-10-01
If Roil Elemental ceases to be under your control before its ability resolves, you won't gain control of the targeted creature at all.
- 2024-11-08
A landfall ability doesn't trigger if a permanent already on the battlefield becomes a land.
- 2024-11-08
Whenever a land you control enters, each landfall ability of the permanents you control will trigger. You can put them on the stack in any order. The last ability you put on the stack will be the first one to resolve (As a result, you can have those abilities resolve in the order of your choosing.).
- 2024-11-08
A landfall ability triggers whenever a land you control enters for any reason. It triggers whenever you play a land, as well as whenever a spell or ability puts a land onto the battlefield under your control.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only. No individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
