I like this, but I would take off the clause about landwalk. It doesn't really fit the flavor. Also, you're treating unlockable as though it's a keyword ability, which it's not. Cards now read "~ can't be blocked" in order to make that more clear.

by Angle:

Hmm. How do I word it so that it doesn't allow you to block flying creatures?

by Link:

I don't know. There's not really precedent. I'm not sure if "~ can block creatures that can't be blocked" works or not.

This doesn't let it block creatures with flying, does it?

by JMGariepy:

Or you can take a page from Trap Runner, which solves the problem by making it an activated ability. Just add non-flying:

{t} : Target unblocked attacking creature becomes blocked. Activate this ability only during combat after blockers are declared. (This ability works on creatures that can't be blocked.)

by Angle:

I think I'm fairly happy with it as it is now. Do you think such a change is necessary?
