Meek’s Inheritance

As an ode to the rapidly oncoming extinction of vanilla creatures, I wanted to post (and maybe request a better version of) a colorless enchantment for them.
Meek’s Inheritance {3} Enchantment - Non-token creatures without abilities gain land walk of their corresponding color identity. This effect does not disqualify an otherwise qualifying creature from Meek’s Inheritance’s effect. “And he saw, all at once, that the world was saturated with power. From soil to clouds, the army was unending. - Sarpadian Empires Vol. VII”
I assume the second sentence is necessary to not freeze the game in an infinite error, but I also assume it could be written more clearly. I don’t know if 3 colorless is reasonable, but I would still want it to be available to all the colors. I tried to make an image of this card but failed catastrophically. It would have been awesome, though, to see what picture AI would have painted of “meek creatures lurking in the wilderness.” Lastly, I wanted to give a little link to one of my favorite creature token generators in the flavor text (even though I’m SPECIFICALLY exempting token creatures from the ability).

Good call, legendofa. I hadn’t seen Jasmine before and I like that effect a lot... even more than bringing landwalk into the discussion!

The thing here is that as soon as a creature gains landwalk, it has an ability, so it can't get anything from Ruxa, Patient Professor, or Jasmine Boreal of the Seven, or Muraganda Petroglyphs, which are the biggest reasons to use vanilla creatures. If you want these bonuses to be usable together, they can't actually be granted abilities.
May I suggest rewarding casting vanilla creature spells, or giving them some benefit? Something like "Whenever a nontoken creature with no abilities enters, draw a card." or "Creature spells with no abilities cost less." or something.
