In Visions (February 1997), islandwalk's (as an example) reminder text said, "If defending player controls any islands, this creature is unblockable." In Classic Sixth Edition (April 1999), the reminder text said, "This creature is unblockable if defending player controls an island." Then, with Urza's Destiny (June 1999), this was minusculely changed to "This creature is unblockable as long as defending player controls an island." This is how the reminder text has appeared since, with the exception of Portal Three Kingdoms (July 1999) that temporarily changed it to, "If defending player has an island in play, CARDNAME can't be blocked."
