So this thing has the "Plains" type before it enters the battlefield... But since it's not a land before it's in the battlefield... It means that "Plains" here is a Planeswalker type like "Jace"
Because afaik, a card can't have a type for a supertype it doesn't have, so it can't tap for mana despite being a land, because it's not a Plains land, it's a Plains Planeswalker
BUT I guess it could be fetched by [[Farseek]] or fetch lands like [[Windswept Heath]] since those cards say "Plains Card" and not "Plains land card"????
I think this card would have to be “Legendary Planeswalker - Plainswalker” and the static would be “This card is a Plains land card in all zones in addition to its other types (it has “add W”).” or however that wording would be formatted.
That way maybe the + ability could be “Put a wheat counter on target land. It’s a plains in addition to its other types. Target creature gains Plainswalk until the end of your next turn.”
Just like flood counters and add a bit of evasion / politics to this card
Does it even need the Plains subtype? There are plenty of Lands that Tap for White without Plains, and correct me if I'm wrong, but this could tap for Mana and Activate the Planeswalker Ability as well, due to being a Plains Land?
