Rulings
Official rulings from Wizards of the Coast (4).
- 2013-07-01The ability that defines Nightmare’s power and toughness works everywhere, not just on the battlefield.
- 2013-07-01Nightmare’s ability counts all lands you control with the subtype Swamp, not just ones named Swamp.
- 2009-10-01Nightmare’s power and toughness changes as the number of Swamps you control changes.
- 2008-04-01If you control 0 swamps, then the Nightmare has 0 toughness and will be put into its owner’s graveyard as a state-based action right before the next player gains priority.
