Great Wall

Description

Released in 1994 as card number 17 in the Legends expansion, the Great Wall stands as a foundational enchantment in Magic: The Gathering history. Designed by artist Sandra Everingham, this uncommon white card has been a staple for players and collectors who value the original alpha and beta era designs. As a white mana source, it costs {2}{W} to cast and serves as a strategic tool for managing board control during the game's early years. The card’s mechanical impact was significant for its time. It functions as an enchantment that neutralizes the plainswalk ability of opposing creatures. In practical terms, this means creatures that could normally evade blocking due to having plainswalk can be targeted and blocked by your forces as if that protection did not exist. This ability made it a crucial counter-play against decks relying on evasion tactics, particularly those utilizing creatures native to the Plains subtype. The Great Wall remains a recognizable piece of that legacy. Whether you are looking to complete a Legends checklist or add a piece of TCG history to your collection, this card offers a direct connection to the game's formative years.
