Creature — Cat1 generic manaGreen mana

Forestwalk on a green creature is one of Magic's oldest design jokes: the evasion only matters against the very decks most likely to be running their own forests, so the keyword that should make a creature unblockable instead makes it a coin flip against the field. A 2/1 for two with that text is built for the simplified Portal world, where the design brief favored clean keywords a new player could read and understand without a rules query. The body is honest aggression, the kind of cheap green beater Portal's product line leaned on, and the landwalk is there as flavor as much as function: cats slip through forests. The structural quirk that defines all landwalk is on full display here: its value is entirely a function of the opponent's manabase, not your own deck. That makes it a card whose evasion you cannot plan around in a vacuum, a reactive keyword stapled to a proactive creature. It is a teaching tool first and a clock second, the sort of straightforward beater that taught new players what a keyword does before the game asked them to think about when it actually matters.
