Bloodfell Caves and Nightmare

Asked by herrickk 8 years ago

A friend and I are having a debate. If you are playing a Nightmare and you have a Bloodfell Caves does it count toward your swamps? I don't think so since it doesn't say swamp, it just happens to add black mana, and Nightmare doesn't say power is equal to black mana.

Bloodfell Caves is neither a Swamp, nor does it have "black mana" on it - only the ability to add black mana to your mana pool. You would be correct in that only lands with the subtype "Swamp" count towards Nightmares power and toughness.

Such lands would be Swamp, Snow-Covered Swamp, Watery Grave, or all lands if there's an Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth in play. There are other lands with the subtype, this is an unexhaustive list.
