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.

Wotc β€” November 08, 2024

A landfall ability doesn't trigger if a permanent already on the battlefield becomes a land.

Wotc β€” November 08, 2024

Whenever a land you control enters, each landfall ability of the permanents you control will trigger. You can put them Β Β 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.).

If, during its controller's declare attackers step, Akoum Firebird is tapped or is affected by a spell or ability that says it can't attack, then it doesn't attack. If there's a cost associated with having it attack, its controller isn't forced to pay that cost. If they don't, Akoum Firebird doesn't have to attack.

Wotc β€” August 25, 2015

The landfall ability triggers only if Akoum Firebird is in your graveyard at the moment the land enters the battlefield.

Wotc β€” August 25, 2015

Players can respond to the triggered ability, but once it starts resolving and you decide whether to pay {4}{R}{R}, it's too late for anyone to respond.
