Holy sh*t, plainswalk, really?! Really?! I didn't even know that that obsolete ability even still existed. With all the unblockable creatures in the metagame, why did they design something with plainswalk? And its a 2/1 for 3? Thats absurd, the only time anyone ever plays a 2/1 for 3 is if the creature has some amazing ability. What ability does this guy have? Pay 3: destroy a plains or scarecrow. . . . .Now thats just stupid. This card is virtually worthless.

Landwalk...obsolete? Well, no. It's just color-hate within a color-matters set. It's to be expected. This was also part of their fail-safe in case scarecrows got to big in the environment. They didn't, but it's good to have a backup plan if you're a developer. And finally, it was an attempt at a cute throwback to the previous sets Boggart Loggers.
So it's not good, agreed. But it had a purpose.

Back in the day, when I found a card like this, I would design a deck around it. It has style, and I respect that.

Fantastic card for a number of reasons 1) thoroughly amusing and extremely intuitive design. 2) great mirror to Boggart Loggers. 3) one of only 4 creatures in all of magic to have Plainswalk.

I agree, design wise this is a fantastic card, even if it has a low power level.

Just killed a Reaper King in sealed with this (sideboarded it in). That, undoubtedly, feels GOOD. Like the art too, reminds me of the wicker man.

But what did Nibb and Gyik do with their axes? Never mind tool safety - it seems like they don't know much about tool care at all.
HairlessThoctar, you've got it right on all three counts. =) I think that "Destroy target Scarecrow or Plains" is a little less intuitive than "Destroy target Treefolk or Forest", chiefly because there's nothing inherently about the scarecrow tribe. Still, though, I really like the parallels between these guys and Boggart Loggers!

It's good, but it loses half of its functionality if someone drops a Great Wall.

I always mainboard 4 Great Walls in case of this beast. It's terrifying...

How exactly does Plainswalk work, anyways? Are they experts at sneaking around in wide open spaces?

Those plainswalk cards are getting out of hand. I might have to maindeck Great Wall. ;)

They gleefully continued their rampage through the night, until dawn's first light shone brightly, and its rays illuminated... the Great Wall.
