...what?

Plain and simple, no pun intended, plainswalk on a GREEN creature is awesome! No big blocking here, but with so many creatures with forestwalk, swampwalk and islandwalk in green, along with the fact green has the largest variety of creature pump, someone could REALLY make a devastating weenie deck! One word for you, RANCOR!!!!! Rancor

The best planeswalker ever IMO

You could draft this and be like "I'll drop my 2/1 plainswalker rooster for two, BOW BEFORE MY CHICKENY GOODNESS!"

Finger lickin' good.

Who wins in fight between two Grizzly Bears (according to art) and a chicken.... According to this they both die, beautiful

Woo hoo! Zodiac!

@Sumai4444: They also have Nonbasiclandwalkers as well :P

Don't leave home without a couple Great Walls, kids. P3K is on the loose.

It needs something like "Chickens cannot fly".

Damn Oracle text. To me, this shall always be a Rooster!

Zodiac Rooster is an alias of Ugin, the Spirit Dragon. It's fairly obvious from the countless hints, I just thought I'd let you guise know.

@ZombieSnail

No, it is Storm Crow in disguise.

A rooster planeswalker--- I mean plainswalker

I guess they can close all those old murders, because this guy's a killer.

If you line these cards up in Chinese Zodiac order, starting with Snake, you get the following poem/story:

Thrice Xuande's ardent quest led to Nanyang,
Where Sleeping Dragon unveiled Han's partition:
‘First take Jingzhou, next the Riverlands;
On that rich region, base your own royal stand.'
Near death in Baidi, having reigned three years,
Bei sadly placed his son in Kongming's care.
By six offensives from the hills of Qi Kongming sought to change Han's destiny.
But the time of Han had run—could he Kongming not tell?—
That night his master star fell past the hills.
Jiang Wei alone still strove with might and main:
Nine times more he fought the north—in vain.
Zhong Hui and Deng Ai next led armies west:
And to the Cao, Han's hills and streams now passed.
Cao Pi, Cao Rui, Fang, Mao, and briefly, Huan—
The Sima took the empire in their turn.
Cao's abdication changed the face of all;
No mighty battles marked the Southland's fall.
Three kings no more—Chenliu, Guiming, Anle.
The fiefs and posts must now be filled anew.
The world's affairs rush on, an endless stream;
A sky-told fate, infinite in reach, dooms all.
The kingdoms three are now the stuff of dream,
For men to ponder, past all praise or blame.

Only plainswalker I know of. Definitely a prized card in my books just for the rarity of that mechanic.

5/5 just because its rooster

It's funny how this *** is the only decent plainswalker in the game, yet is a chicken and from a portal set.

Honestly, I can't use the synonym for a rooster?

Who doesn't like roosters!

This rooster can take on a Grizzly Bear in single combat, it is NOT to be trifled with.

a want a rooster Tribe >_<

I'm shocked this card was never reprinted. The flavor, the power, the artwork, the prestige it brings to the game, the electricity you feel when casting it. It's just one of the finest cards ever made.

Plainswalking Chicken
5/5

C ock-a-doo-dal-do mother f*cker.

Summoned by the planeswalker simply known as the Colonel during the Great Soulfood War, the roosters proliferated across all environments and landscapes of the small, fragile world despite the simple fact of the process of reproduction. Every species was eventually choked out of existence. And in the generations of nature's brutality, lust for competition, the roosters evolved into the perfect natural machines. Harbingers of horror, awe, and power.
