Great Wall is unquestionably the worst Magic: The Gathering card - alex wennerberg
The Great Wall of China is the longest wall in the world, a monumental testament to human engineering and a national symbol of China. Magic: The Gathering's Great Wall is none of those things. A not-so-great wall Great Wall has a 1.068 / 5 rating on Gatherer. It is widely regarded as one of the worst cards in the game. What troubles me, however, as a long-time Magic: The Gathering player, is how few people name it as the absolute worst. To me, the case is unambiguous. Great Wall is so bad that no card in the game comes even remotely close. Landwalk is a keyword ability that makes a creature unblockable if the defending player controls a land of a certain type. The flavor of this makes sense for most land types: a creature with forestwalk is adept at navigating forests without detection. Likewise with swampwalk or mountainwalk. An islandwalk creature sneaks underwater. How does a creature with plainswalk "walk"? It's really good at evading detection in wide, open spaces? For this reason
