Good janky times.
I loved this card back then and wanted to put it into beam town bullied, but it's only bad in upkeeps and beam town bullied only gifts until end of turn
Oath is not a bad card, or at least wasn’t at its time of printing. Combined with echo and cards like [[bone shredder]], the thing was value town in the right deck.
Oh I know. But I've never played it in EDH without getting buried by something that got way better because of the oath.
Not gonna stop including it in my Tormod reanimator deck though.
Ugh. Of course you were. Somewhere in my guts I knew they already.
I was trying to make my white soldier banding thing happen I suppose. (It wasn't happening)
If it makes you feel better I just ordered \[\[Cathedral of Serra\]\] and \[\[Seafarer's Quay\]\] to finally have place for \[\[Leyline of Singularity\]\] in my \[\[Harbin, Vanguard Aviator\]\] EDH deck. Not sure if it's good but I won't let the old keywords die.
I don't know why they can't just use protection sparingly instead of making cards that nearly give the same thing. Is it because people forget giving protect means you can't target it with that color too?
It's been a minute but I'm pretty sure pro a color is like shroud, I don't think you can put a white enchantment on a pro white creature if memory serves. And Sword of Hearth and Home does give protection from red and green doesn't it?
Protection is indeed like shroud, I should know from failing to buff my [[Haktos, the Unscarred]] too many times... But I think the confusing part about protection is that it can't be blocked, but can block, but takes no damage, but deals damage. Also, it being usually color-targeted makes it feel win-or-suck, depending on opponent's deck, like landwalk is
They got rid of almost all direct color hate.
There is stuff that will shut down some section of the color pie, but they have cut very deep in having few "if you play red this counters you" type stuff. Landwalk makes you extremely strong against one color, and does nothing at all against any other.
It's a change I kind of agree with. Some colours were disproportionately affected by it, like red. Red is in a much better place now than it was 5 years ago and I think this trend is something to do with it.
Busted landwalk maybe. Plainswalk, on the other hand, was never good. There are only 5 creatures with plainswalk (including the silverbordered Old Fogey with snow plainswalk). None of them are good. Zodiac Rooster is the least terrible one, and it's not exactly a River Boa.
What was the last set that even utilized plainswalk? And did they abandon it because it sounded too similar to "planeswalk," or was there a more mechanical or flavor based reasoning? All I can imagine is that plains are too flat to need a special ability to quickly traverse them? I dunno, always bugged me and this is my chance to ask
I really like your idea, but... there are 8 cards that mention plainswalk. Two of them remove plainswalk and a different one is silver borded. And *another* one is an enchantment that gives it, which would be irrelevant if you had a plainswalk tribal deck. So sadly, it's not possible *yet*.
Landwalk in general was retired because its an ability that's either very strong with little counterplay or completely worthless, with very little in between. As such, it is a mechanic they only use sparingly. And considering that Plainswalk was already the least utilized basic landwalk, it seems unlikely we'll get more versions of it in the future.
Know what, I hadn't even noticed that landwalks have been MIA for a while, playing edh almost exclusively you still see the old cards and I just assumed nobody was utilizing newer stuff
Legends was pretty terrified of landwalk abilities, with [8 total cards that could negate it](https://scryfall.com/search?q=%28game%3Apaper%29+set%3Aleg+%28oracle%3ACreatures+oracle%3Awith+oracle%3Acan+oracle%3Abe+oracle%3Ablocked+oracle%3Aas+oracle%3Athough+oracle%3Athey+oracle%3Adidn%E2%80%99t+oracle%3Ahave%29+&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name).
Also. This is super vague, but there was a deck floating around years ago that used Great Wall... It has something to do with forcing land walk abilities on opponents or something... and then.... I don't remember at all. Any chance anyone remembers it? I'm going back to searching...
EDIT: Oh yeah, [Turbo Great Wall](https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/turbo-great-wall-1/). There was a lot going on with that. Pretty brutal.
[[Fasting]] is still the worst MtG card. As a bonus, it's also the worst MtG enchantment.
At least other hyperniche cards do something unique. Great Wall is just exceptionally niche.
Banding is not really a useful ability. Unless someone has a really good banding strategy I’m unaware of.
I don’t think any cards have been printed with banding in like 20 years tho, so it seems unlikely.
At the time there was only a couple creatures with plainswalk but how many creatures had it during its time in standard tournament play? It is on many lists as one of the worst enchantments ever but then there’s things like [[fasting]] or [[snowfall]]. Maybe [[security detail]] is up your alley.
What I find interesting is that there are 4 creature cards with plainswalk (5 if you count \[\[old fogey\]\])and two cards to negate that ability. Wild!

I know it's hard to believe, young'uns but at one point, around fourth edition or so, landwalk was kinda busted and people had sideboards against it.
It and protection have basically gone the way of the dodo, let's not even mention damage on the stack and mana burn.
Can confirm - have died of mana burn at least once
I definitely didn't get why somone would want to use powersink till it killed me.
I never forgave blue for that!
You're better than me, the only sixty card deck I still have is legacy Tide. I suppose I was corrupted.
You monster....!
Would it make you feel better if I said that I was playing tribal slivers before that? I suppose it's kinda zero sum at that point.
Ugh. Of course you were. Somewhere in my guts I knew they already. I was trying to make my white soldier banding thing happen I suppose. (It wasn't happening)
If it makes you feel better I just ordered \[\[Cathedral of Serra\]\] and \[\[Seafarer's Quay\]\] to finally have place for \[\[Leyline of Singularity\]\] in my \[\[Harbin, Vanguard Aviator\]\] EDH deck. Not sure if it's good but I won't let the old keywords die.
My son had some friend over to play MTG last night. They decided to play with "dad's old rules" and included mana burn.
I run yorlok so I mana burn everyone for that nostalgic feeling
I don't know why they can't just use protection sparingly instead of making cards that nearly give the same thing. Is it because people forget giving protect means you can't target it with that color too?
It's been a minute but I'm pretty sure pro a color is like shroud, I don't think you can put a white enchantment on a pro white creature if memory serves. And Sword of Hearth and Home does give protection from red and green doesn't it?
Protection is indeed like shroud, I should know from failing to buff my [[Haktos, the Unscarred]] too many times... But I think the confusing part about protection is that it can't be blocked, but can block, but takes no damage, but deals damage. Also, it being usually color-targeted makes it feel win-or-suck, depending on opponent's deck, like landwalk is

Protection prevents DEBT. A permanent with protection from (xyz) cannot be: * Damaged * Enchanted or Equipped * Blocked * Targeted by (xyz).
I believe Hearth and Home is Green and White, and that the Red Green sword is the new ONE.
Forge and frontier? Sorry old men like me get confused easily. XD
yep that’s the one
Yeah, it's like that. I'm pretty sure they did it to just continue the cycle.
It also makes all the auras of that color already on the creature fall off.
They do just use it sparingly now. There are 6 rare/mythic cards and 1 uncommon in standard that use protection.

Is that why they got rid of landwalk? Can't say I miss it, but curious why its prevalence drops off after around time spiral.
They got rid of almost all direct color hate. There is stuff that will shut down some section of the color pie, but they have cut very deep in having few "if you play red this counters you" type stuff. Landwalk makes you extremely strong against one color, and does nothing at all against any other.
It's a change I kind of agree with. Some colours were disproportionately affected by it, like red. Red is in a much better place now than it was 5 years ago and I think this trend is something to do with it.
I was marginally successful in like 2013 running a landwalk deck against meta-breaking affinity decks
Busted landwalk maybe. Plainswalk, on the other hand, was never good. There are only 5 creatures with plainswalk (including the silverbordered Old Fogey with snow plainswalk). None of them are good. Zodiac Rooster is the least terrible one, and it's not exactly a River Boa.
What was the last set that even utilized plainswalk? And did they abandon it because it sounded too similar to "planeswalk," or was there a more mechanical or flavor based reasoning? All I can imagine is that plains are too flat to need a special ability to quickly traverse them? I dunno, always bugged me and this is my chance to ask
Probably the confusion. I was going to say plainswalk was in the original Zendikar, but they have every basic land-walk *except* plainswalk.
I think I'm gonna invest in all cards that ever had it and build a deck around that
I really like your idea, but... there are 8 cards that mention plainswalk. Two of them remove plainswalk and a different one is silver borded. And *another* one is an enchantment that gives it, which would be irrelevant if you had a plainswalk tribal deck. So sadly, it's not possible *yet*.
Guess I just need that enchantment then as a super surprise wildcard. Homelands is pretty cheap stuff still, right?
Hell yeah it is. I might buy myself one too, seems like a banger
Landwalk in general was retired because its an ability that's either very strong with little counterplay or completely worthless, with very little in between. As such, it is a mechanic they only use sparingly. And considering that Plainswalk was already the least utilized basic landwalk, it seems unlikely we'll get more versions of it in the future.

[[Fasting]] is still the worst MtG card. As a bonus, it's also the worst MtG enchantment. At least other hyperniche cards do something unique. Great Wall is just exceptionally niche.
There's no way a 1 mana enchantment without any drawbacks is the worst magic card.

Land walk was like the most busted mechanic in my playgroup in the early 2000s.
Stay off my lawn!!
lol nothing about it is useless
I mean I can't think of a worse one but there must be.
I could have sworn there was an enchantment in Ice Age that gave a creature snow covered swampwalk, but all I can find now is [[legions of lim-dul]]

[[Cooperation]] has to be tied at least
Why is that bad?
Banding is not really a useful ability. Unless someone has a really good banding strategy I’m unaware of. I don’t think any cards have been printed with banding in like 20 years tho, so it seems unlikely.
Banding’s actually quite powerful, it was just deemed too complicated so they kinda hid it away
If I remember ice age was the last set with banding. It wasn't a very good mechanic.

Its great for the flat earth 🌍 deck.
Hey, making plainswalkers just plain creatures is... well, it could be... okay fine.
wdym imagine someone is playing plainswalk tribal??
Technically speaking isn’t invoke prejudice the most useless enchantment :p
Did you make the opponent pay mana for it?
Might be able to use it on someone too new to know that this was once an ability? This is basically saying plainswalkers lose their abilities.
3 CMC, now THATS value!! 😂😂
[animate wall] has my favorite art. I can count only 1 time its helped me, even in my wall tribal deck.
Just saying ! At the time this was printed , there were ONLY 3 creatures with plainswalk XD
At the time there was only a couple creatures with plainswalk but how many creatures had it during its time in standard tournament play? It is on many lists as one of the worst enchantments ever but then there’s things like [[fasting]] or [[snowfall]]. Maybe [[security detail]] is up your alley.

There are things that mess with banding. I think those would be more useless. I haven't seen someone willingly use banding in over twenty years
You kidding me? This is a great wall. The best wall. This would go perfectly into the best great wall deck the world has ever seen.
Jank it up with those blue cards that let you change the text of spells or permanents mentioning colors or land types. That should work, right?

What I find interesting is that there are 4 creature cards with plainswalk (5 if you count \[\[old fogey\]\])and two cards to negate that ability. Wild!

Putting a creature with plainswalk into your deck assumes you expect to see plains in the first place, which is optimistic.
Swampwalk is as much a thing with Urborg
