A nod to the days when R&D was still frightened to death of anything resembling "unblockable". This card is phenomenally weak by today's standards. Just compare it with Whispersilk Cloak. Even "in the day" this card was never used...landwalk just isn't that amazing of a keyword and if you really wanted unblockable, try for shadow or flying + flying hate.

Yeah, almost as weird as when they banned Juggernaut.

@Polychromatic: Around Ice Age block Juggernaut was a beast. Taught me to always put at least two Disenchant effects in a deck. The other 4 CMC creatures it was competing against didn't get any bigger than 3/3 usually, and being an artifact meant you could use it in any deck. Most control decks used Juggsy as their clock.
