Landwalk is a former evergreen keyword ability on creatures that makes the creature unblockable if the defending player controls at least one land with a certain characteristic.
Description
Landwalk was introduced in Alpha. [1] The keyword always appeared in conjunction with a subtype or supertype to denote the appropriate characteristic, and in most cases did not actually appear as "Landwalk", but instead "Islandwalk", "swampwalk", "Snow Forestwalk" and so on. "Plainswalk" has always been the least used basic landwalk type (only 5 card including Old Fogey) because it's not a great fit for its color mechanically nor has particularly strong flavor. Also, the fact that "planeswalk" became an important concept in the game made "plainswalk" confusing. [2]
Lately, landwalk has fallen out of favor with R&D and thus is not getting used very often. It was obsoleted alltogether in Magic Origins. [1]
