So, I'm removing landwalk from my old designs unless it is something interesting and integral to the card. This is borderline since the idea of having a french vanilla with plainswalk is a lot of the original appeal to the card to me. On the other hand it's just landwalk for a basic land type which I actually despise.

When thinking about replacements I took the flavor cue that this was to me something that has evasion because it is so small and considered putting "~ can't be blocked by creatures with power 2 or more." on it as part of the 'protection from big' theme white has (compare Mistmeadow Skulk).

I realized how close this is to skulk, and that the keyword ability actually has quite a white feel to it. And the term already appeared in white cardnames, so why not?
