This is a waste of cool art on a stupid card. I can't tell you how mad I was to open this in a pack of Homelands (and that was when they were $1.75 each). In the best case scenario, it makes your creatures all unblockable for 6 mana, when the game should be nearly over for a white weenie deck. In the worst, it does absolutely nothing for you, and your opponent, running all nonbasics and multicolored white creatures, bypasses all your defenses and you can do absolutely nothing about it because you are tapped out.
White is not blue. It doesn't have ways to trade Plains to the opponent, or change one of their lands to a Plains. And don't even talk about power creep. Think about all the cards that cost 4-6 in those days. Here's just a few better alternatives, castable in a white deck, just to make a point:
Juggernaut (big power for mana ratio, colorless)
Serra Angel (yes, once upon a time this won games, kids)
Blinking Spirit/au... (see all)

Amazing card! Probably the most versatile card in Homelands, which was a great set to begin with. Think about it, in a white weenie deck, if your opponent runs white (basically a given with Bank$layer), its 6 mana to make all your creatures unblockable. Could it be better without being banned?

Overcosted, but a great ability. And in the same set, Jinx can make a land a Plains for a turn.

Run with Mystic Compas. (If I spell Compas correctly it offends the censor.)

Compare to say True Conviction. Yeah, Homelands stood out at the time for its overwhelming number of useless cards, this one is no exception.

Ironically the only way to pay for this is to steal all your opponents' Plains.

Um...maybe a weird deck with all the lands being white non-basic lands, with this in the sideboard? Anyways, 1/5.
