So much green for such a small affect. And judging by the wording, your opponent's greens get it too.

Yeah, this really should cost 2GG or 1GG. Nowhere near worth 6 mana. But, that was the big issue with The Dark. Decent cards with really poor side effects or too high of costs.

If this had been the rare my booster pack back in 1994, I would have asked for my money back.

Major-league expensive, but I could see it being useful in a horde deck with elves and/or thalids and a Gaea's Liege

It's even worse than people think.
If your opponent has forests, then he has green creatures. And if you're playing this, then you most likely have forests. So you're making your opponent's creatures unblockable as well.
0.5/5.

Worst card ever? Possibly worst card ever.

It's a game finishing card, you give them a forest and all your creatures go in unblocked. It's a game winner, but you have to build the deck around it.

So, this horribly expensive card (same casting cost as Force of Nature, which was "the bomb" back then), basically ensures that your opponent's creatures can't be blocked while offering a chance that yours can't be blocked. Great...
More depressing in a way is that they felt they needed to revisit this failed concept in Homelands (where else?) with Aysan Highway. At least we seem to have been spared some unholy "super cycle" - one for each set of colors and landwalk types - of enchantments like this, each showing up as overcosted nightmares in only the worst expansions.
It has to be. People saying this gives your opponent advantage are daft. Your opponent certainly has forests, but you don't - you sacrificed them all for that wood elemental remember?
Unlike Aysen Highway, this is actually marginally useful. How? Elves. If you can get them out without playing forests then you can have a steady mana source right there.
Even so this is terrible.

Now imagine spending, say, 20 bucks on a The Dark booster pack for nostalgia's sake and drawing this. :P
Back then, at least, it was only 1,75$...

It's the mid-nineties and my Erhnam Djinn are giving all your creatures forestwalk already. I might as well try and get in on this action, too...

Shame about the card, but the artwork is beautiful. A card I would like to buy just to look at ( but never play ) .

5/5 They're basically telling you to use this card at the end of the game. I mean, how many cards require FOUR of the same color mana to bring out? This is obviously meant to be used after you've amassed a lot of mana and green creatures, you bring this card out, bam, attack with all your green creatures, bam, you've won the game. A lot of cards like this and Aysen Highway are extremely underrated because most people don't realize their tremendous potential as game enders. I mean, Glaring Spotlight is rated highly but not this? C'mon, it's basically the same thing.

I wouldn't mind a swampwalk version actually
