- should cost 1ww instead - difficult to get through with it the first time
+ can mana fix yourself or teammates + unblockable if it got through once + colorscrews opponents and weakens their nonbasic lands + fun in a black-white deck with Marauding Knight

Run with Mystic Compas. (Sorry Compas spelt correctly is a bad word acording to the MTG censor.) http://beta.gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=15435

I run mine in my sideboard right next to a conversion
if your opponent doesn't run plains, use Whim of Volrath or Magical hack to give it Xwalk where X is target basic land your opponent controls. Then turn it into a plains and you're set. Or just make it unblockable. Also i feel like since your already running the Whim and Hack, you could put in some Followed Footsteps What's better than hitting your opponent with plainswalk and making them cry? Doing it twice, then three times, Ad mortum.

How many creatures actually have plainswalk? I think this is the first one I've seen. Wouldn't plains be the easiest thing to walk on?

Any particular reason there are so few plainswalkers?

Probably because Wizards wants you to focus on the characters who walk on planes instead of plains.

I actually found an excuse to play this in Agrus Kos EDH, and it actually is quite the house. In most formats and decks, this is meh at best, but in EDH, people will let you hit them with this to get rid of a Cabal Coffers/Gaea's Cradle/Tabernacle, and once one enemy has been tagged (Or if any play plains) He deals with ever nonbasic problem on the board. And anyone who doesn't run one of the aforementioned cards will protect him to prevent problems.
He's land destruction that upsets no one. I love it.

Maro dislikes plainswalk because it shouldn't be easy to sneak across plains.

Plainswalk - so rare they had to make this a rare.
I guess this isn't terrible if you give him some equips or auras to boost him and give some sort of evasion for the first hit.

To save time for those who were about to look it up, the following is an official list of creatures that have the "plainswalk" ability as of the Innistrad block:
One can give all white creatures plainswalk with the enchantment Aysen Highway or you can deny the above four plainswalker creatures their ability with Lord Magnus. Apparently having unblockable creatures against white was too unbalanced in Wizards of the Coast's eyes.

Oh geez, despite the fact that this card is pretty bad, I remember getting trounced one game because of it, back when I first started playing... I have retained a hatred for that stinking antelope ever since.

If this were green and worked with forests, blue and worked with islands, or black and worked with swamps, this would actually be pretty useful, since all of those have decent landwalk cards. As white, it's alright, but has no synergy with anything else. (Righteous Avengers notwithstanding.)

@ ChampionofSquee:
If you target Graceful Antelope with Magical Hack, and choose any land type other than Plains, it will cause all instances of the word to become the chosen word. This means if you choose Swamp, it will have swampwalk AND turn things into swamps. Unlike your interpretation of the card where you thought you could Hack the Graceful Antelope where it would have X-walk and continue to turn things into plains.
