Crusher Zendikon turns any land into a 4/2 trampling Elemental for three mana — that's a real threat stapled to a card type that's already doing work. The catch is symmetrical: if the creature dies, the land returns to your hand, so you're trading board presence for a tempo setback you have to plan around.

In Commander, Crusher Zendikon is a fringe inclusion — three mana for a 4/2 isn't impressive at a 100-card table where boards get enormous fast, and the land bounce on death is a real cost when opponents have constant removal. Pauper is where Crusher Zendikon has the most competitive footing, since common-legal threats at this rate are scarcer and trample matters more in a format full of small bodies. In Legacy and Vintage it's essentially unplayable — the power ceiling in those formats leaves a 4/2 for three in the dust.
