Rulings
Official rulings from Wizards of the Coast (1).
- 2008-04-01This card now has Enchant Swamp, which works exactly like any other Enchant ability. This means it can only be cast targeting a Swamp, and it will be put into its owner's graveyard if the permanent it's attached to ever stops being a Swamp.
