What're the names of the other two?
{Brawn}
{Valor}
{Wonder}
Gah it's driving me insane... xD
{Filth}
{Anger}
Red one is {Anger}
Can't remember the black one
Wow, {Filth} is horrible compared to the rest 😮
Why not just give it Fear or something? Death touch would be an auto but it didn't exist back then.

I have no idea. But for some reason, they thought it would be a brilliant idea for you to have to run Swamps to give your dudes swampwalk. You can't even sideboard it against black decks.
Also, fear was not keyworded yet. Maybe that came in Time Spiral? I can't remember when it was keyworded, exactly. At the time, I think the only other keyword they could've given it was regeneration.

Fear was around in 5th edition. I think they might have thought it was too much?
EDIT: {fear} I was mistaken. When checking the enchantment I noticed only in 9th edition the card text includes the word fear. Still can't shake the feeling I knew the mechanic before my break, and that was quite a bit ago.
Fear was first keyworded in Onslaught, though the mechanic was introduced in Alpha
Just wizards hating on black as usual.

landwalk is an ability that really fell away, back in the day, there were decks that sideboarded {B} with swampwalk or {G} with forest walk or {U} with islandwalk and {R} with mountainwalk to handle mirror matches
nobody could handle {Desert Nomads} though...
Are there Desert lands? O.o
Yet, it has protection from deserts in a way..
Card is really flavorful and ahead of it's time when it comes to protection from other qualities then color. (Ok admit, it doesn't say protection from deserts, but it sorta fits)
