Denimwalk is an evasion ability introduced in Unglued.

Description

Denimwalk is a joke variant of Landwalk. It makes the creature unblockable if the defending player is wearing any clothing made of denim. Despite being an unintended effect of the card, according to Un-rules manager Mark Rosewater, taking off your denim pants to make Hurloon Wrangler blockable is a special action.[1]

As a consequence of this potential exploit, it ranks a 10 on the Gotcha scale. An evolution of this was seen on Blurry[2], which locks in its evasion when cast and also incentivizes players to add rather than discard wearable items.
