Some people don't know Magic history. This is a green version of two old cards, Burrowing (red) and Fishliver Oil (blue). Forestwalk and giving creatures foreswalk is perfectly in color for green.

Ha! It's the ranger from Borderland Ranger! And here I was feeling bad for Cudgel Troll that his art buddy didn't make it into m11! Sweet. With a few extra pixels, this might even be able to connect to that old panorama they highlighted in Arcana 236.

wut.
This is barely playable in limited. Maybe if it gave a slight pump as well or something.

I dont think its that bad of a card, perhaps not playable in any serious game, but not useless when playing for fun

Might be a sideboard card for limited. Aside from that it will make a nice "Ooze" token.
Honestly, they could have tacked on reach or +1/+1 without making this even remotely close to overpowered.

Don't forget Leshrac's Rite for black/swampwalk. So now white is the only one without a card in this cycle.

Could have made it more powerful, but as it stands, two green mana for unblockable isn't bad (stick this with Lush Growth, if they don't play forests)

With 2 cards for this guy already, are we looking at the next green planeswalker?

Competes with Incite and the lucky charms as the worst card of M11.

Is there something I am missing, this is a green enchantment, costing one mana to play, that grants Forest-Walk! Why is this rated so lowly, enchant this on something like Nacatl War-Pride and you've just witnessed the end of all games.

@achilleselbow - That's probably because there was only one white way to grant plainswalking: the oh-so-useful Aysen Highway. There have also been more landwalkers of their own color than white...a whole two white critters have plainswalk.

They hadn't even printed Shanodin Dryads since Seventh Edition. Bizarre that we'd see this in 2011.
Not sure it's even worth a slot in such a deck, but it could find use in a deck with big green stompers, control and land manipulation effects (like Reef Shaman's ability).
Of course you could just as soon put a Whispersilk Cloak on something to make it unblockable regardless of what lands anyone controls.
