So, this horribly expensive card (same casting cost as Force of Nature, which was "the bomb" back then), basically ensures that your opponent's creatures can't be blocked while offering a chance that yours can't be blocked. Great...
More depressing in a way is that they felt they needed to revisit this failed concept in Homelands (where else?) with Aysan Highway. At least we seem to have been spared some unholy "super cycle" - one for each set of colors and landwalk types - of enchantments like this, each showing up as overcosted nightmares in only the worst expansions.

Major-league expensive, but I could see it being useful in a horde deck with elves and/or thalids and a Gaea's Liege

It's even worse than people think.
If your opponent has forests, then he has green creatures. And if you're playing this, then you most likely have forests. So you're making your opponent's creatures unblockable as well.
0.5/5.

Yeah, this really should cost 2GG or 1GG. Nowhere near worth 6 mana. But, that was the big issue with The Dark. Decent cards with really poor side effects or too high of costs.

So much green for such a small affect. And judging by the wording, your opponent's greens get it too.

Worst card ever? Possibly worst card ever.

If this had been the rare my booster pack back in 1994, I would have asked for my money back.

It's a game finishing card, you give them a forest and all your creatures go in unblocked. It's a game winner, but you have to build the deck around it.

Apparently better than Aysen Highway.
It has to be. People saying this gives your opponent advantage are daft. Your opponent certainly has forests, but you don't - you sacrificed them all for that wood elemental remember?
@Radagast
I wouldn't mind a swampwalk version actually
