I don't mind having this over Unshaped Aurora, but some plainswalk in the set would be nice, since there's so little of it.

Wow, yeah, there's really little. There's ten cards that mention plainswalk at all:

  • Two from homelands and portal
  • Two plainswalk-hosers
  • Two "change target color word" spells that mention plainswalk as an example
  • One from Unhinged
  • Three cards, one red, and two not very old

But that makes me feel like a card with plainswalk maybe should have a specific reason for having it, not just be a white card with plainswalk.

And white should probably have 2-3 evasion creatures, so it's a good time to use plainswalk if we need it, but we should probably prioritise abilities like "can't be blocked by multicolor" as they're specifically relevant for the set.

Maybe it would be more appropriate to bump Plainswalk to uncommon? It is a very rare ability.

I'm a bit confused about the problem myself. I, all at once, both want a plainswalker because there hasn't been many plainswalkers, and don't want a plainswalker because there hasn't been many plainswalkers. It does seem that Wizards doesn't print it very often, mostly because of flavor reasons (The Plains are wide open expanses! Someone is going to see you!). But if they wanted to do it, they could have made multiple years ago. It's not like there isn't a large list of real life creatures that don't camouflage into the plains.

I suppose its just nice to have one basic land feel more safe than the others, in the same way that, when a creature you control changes color, you should probably make it black, since it is safer that way. Or, maybe it's just one guy who doesn't like it...
