Not only is this overcosted as hell and almost useless, it can even backfire, horribly! A good 0,5/5 material.

Wow, who the heck determined the casting cost on this card ? First off, giving white creatures plainswalk is not exactly any huge guarantee of success. Secondly, there are many game-changing cards that can be played for 4 or 5 CMC. (1/5)

Why isn't this rated the worst card ever?

@adrian.malacoda: Hidden Path does have two advantages to this:
- Green has much better mana acceleration and therefore you can get it out easier, despite being even more color-heavy.
- There are multiple effects in Green which can turn your opponent's lands into forest.
I'm not arguing tournament play here in any way, but say you've built up quite a horde of green critters (Saprolings, e.g.), have a Gaea's Liege or a Thelonite Monk, slap this down, activate your Forest-maker, and then zergrush your opponent.
Done correctly, it CAN be a game winner.

Plains is probably the most commonly seen basic land type played in Legacy. All your creatures are unblockable, most of the time. Against a field that plays no significant white creatures other than a deck known as Death & Taxes.. side it out.. Just about everyone else wants Swords To Plowshares main'd. By the same token you get a lot of mileage out of Ihsan's Shade in legacy. What will destroy it? Only Go For The Throat for targeted removal.

So.... Im playing a white weenie deck and i want my creatures to be unblock-able against other white decks with creatures. I play this card and... their creatures are unblock-able too? I better hope to win quick after wasting 6 mana on this trash

Useless. For 6 mana, you should be winning, not opening yourself up to unblockable creatures.

I love this card. It's the kind of thing that is so difficult you have to build a deck around it, but with a deck built this way it turns epic. There are dozens of ways to produce white mana that doesn't involve plains manalith darsteel ingot thunder totem gold myr tooth of ramos - add to that doubling cube, and the nonbasic lands that produce white mana - say fountain of cho, Forbidding watchtower and Kabira crossroads and you have unblockable white creatures. With all that mana production in your deck the mana cost also comes down from ridiculous to reasonable. In such a deck you would of course have a full set of mystic compass's and maybe splash some blue with those manaliths to change things up and increase card draw so you'll get your highway sooner. You'd also want to focu... (see all)
