If Varolz, the Scar-Striped would be destroyed, regenerate it and put a +1/+1 counter on it.
Remove a +1/+1 counter from Varolz: Varolz gains deathtouch until end of turn.

A source told MTGS moderator TK-421 that the cost and size of this "leak" were wrong.
On one hand, the abilities and flavor text seem real.
On the other hand, the fact we have guild champion art already makes me shocked we haven't seen more fake champions already.
The fact it's a troll on April 1st seems ingenious. "Let's release the real troll card on april 1st. Theyll never believe it!"

Guy, we already knew he was going to be a troll type. The card looks legit but the expansion symbol being so far left seems fishy. the picture is also conveniently missing the collectors number so as much as I want to believe that is the real card, you can't say for certain.
Hmm, who's this Grozdan fella supposed to be, then? A flavor text search turns up nothing. [EDIT: Thanks, Tackman] Making up a new character doesn't seem like something a faker'd do - he'd sooner take an already known character to give the card additional credibility.
Still, this doesn't look quite right.

@pylades: seriously? this guy is almost OP. Much better Predator Ooze with a beter cost. Missing part in GB "unkillables" deck :P. Almost as good as Thrun.
But yeah, I think this flavor text is ... to shallow ? to be true. I think this is just April the 1st joke. Also, somehow I don't like "would be destroyed" wording.
If it's an April Fool's joke, good on them. If not it makes for an excellent legendary that does seem legendary. As for Wizards now conditioning legendary creatures for EDH, this one is perfect.
Too perfect. Whoever designed this, fake or not, knew what they were doing.

That's just how regenerating works. It replaces being destroyed with being tapped, having all damage removed, and being removed from combat. As a rules advisor, I despise regenerate for not working in a sensible fashion.
Luckily, legend rule does not destroy anything, it simply places them into the graveyard. Its the same reason you can't use indestructibility to have more than one of the same legend.
The only real troll here is you. Free regeneration, growth, and optional deathtouch? On a 4/4 for 4 mana?
If it's real, I'll be happy. It seems like a really solid 4-drop that is hard to get rid of. If its not, well, then I assume it will still do something similar but I won't get mad if this is fake.

EDIT: April 1st and Troll, seems too perfect lol, thanks ShapMTG hahah, I wasn't even seeing that.
GENERATION 151: The first time you see this, copy it into your sig and add 1 to the generation.
(I'm pretty sure the artist for the Varolz art is already known...)
Besides, the font and the last quotation mark seem funny.
Better than a 4-mana 4/4 that auto-regenerates and grows at the same time? Jeez... players really are spoiled!
Also, I checked for this "Grozdan" fellow, he is a Boros guy mentioned in the PW guide, so this makes sense.

Just like I said for Rootborn Defense, Simic Fluxmage, Aurelia and co, if this is a fake, it's the best one I've seen so far.
On the other hand, the fact we have guild champion art already makes me shocked we haven't seen more fake champions already.

Mossbridge Troll would like to have a word with you.
Still, this doesn't look quite right.
Thou shalt not frame images with the modern card face
Thou shalt not change rules in vain
Remember the Reserved List to keep it holy
Honor thy Slivers and the symmetry of their abilities
Thou shalt not kill mana burn
Thou shalt not sacrifice depth for accessibility
Thou shalt not steal combat damage from the stack
Thou shalt tell a story through thy cards
All must be one
Sorry folks, but Grozdan has been mentioned by Wizards before, so smart and observant fakers can use his name.
Me, I'm not convinced it's "the best fake I've seen so far" because the font and punctuation look off.
Nope, that's the right way:

Why wouldn't the troll character have the troll creature type?

Regeneration won't save them from being destroyed by the legendary rule or having toughness of 0 or less.
Creatures don't "die" or are "destroyed" via the legend rule. The are simply placed in the GY.
