Hell Hound of AkoumR
Creature - Dog Elemental Landfall — Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, Hell Hound of Akoum gets +2/+2 until end of turn. (Anyone know what the flavor text says?)
0/1
Flavor text is roughly: The infernal dogs (hell hounds) patrol/prowl the Campospunzantes (literally "sharp countryside/field"), where they enjoy the strong solar rays and illuminate the night with their flames.
(A native speaker will obviously translate better.)
I mean, I remember the good old days of Naya Zoo, and honestly Steppe Lynx in Red just makes this deck easier to play by shifting focus to just Gruul. I hope some kind of Gruul Stompy deck comes from this.
iirc last time they moved landfall more into red/green aggro so they might keep the theme.

I seem to remember steppe lynx being as, if not more powerful than goblin guide in Zendikar standard. I feel like this little dude could have a place in burn decks in formats with fetches because it can put down 8 damage by itself turn 3 and only swiftspear is close to that.
LOOOVE this card. Kahlni Heart Expedition + Steppe Lynx was my jam back in the day. I'm going to build a $20 budget Zoo deck that my nephew can beat up on his friends with at the kitchen table. Then I'm going to secretly build a version with Fetches and all the other stuff those kids can't afford and proceed to beat the living snot out of him at Thanksgiving. Why? Because those stupid lands are required for anyone to really compete at the tournament level and it's important for him to learn early on that WotC doesn't want us to have nice things. Now where on Earth did I put my Plated Geopede's? Probably next to my Adventuring Gear's.

As a native speaker, good job.
Rondar is better translated as "prowl", it's used to talk about predators or people with dubious intentions, and "iluminar" could just be "light (up)" in English, we don't really have the light(up)/illuminate distinction in Spanish, everything is just "iluminar".
I'd find that remark easier to believe if Small Zoo didn't already have a revival and then die out again a year or less ago. From my testing, Burn would rather play Wayward Guide-Beast because it has Haste and therefore deals more damage on Turn 1, and as long as it bounces no lands on Turn 2 or it's not played on Turn 1, the Guide-Beast's drawback is quite ignorable. The Hellhound also has a toughness of 1 and is therefore vulnerable to Wrenn and Six, Gut Shot, and Lava Dart (all of which are currently reasonably popular in Modern; blame R(x) Prowess for the last 2). Using land drops to protect the Hellhound from them is like sandbagging and then using instants to protect Prowess guys from Bolt--you ain't using them to push through damage anymore. I find it tough to believe that Hellhound and other Zendikar Rising cards can make Small Zoo popular yet again; I believe Zendikar Rising will help more popular decks more prominently.
This card is really strong alongside Steppe Lynx in Legacy with all the fetchland used in order to have a +4/+4 in one turn.
What really shocks me is that this card is still a common...

It's not very playable in standard or pioneer, or even that good in limited.

I'm not sure about that. I think a Mono Red or even a low Curve R/x deck could use this to put damage pressure on an opponent. Obviously in the omnath meta it was unlikely, but I could see this becoming relevant for a few archetypes.

Steppe Lynx has just been colorshifted to red.

Kind of all there is to say here.
