Gameplay

Land

As this land enters, you may reveal an Island or Swamp card from your hand. If you don't, this land enters tapped. {T}: Add {U} or {B}.

The water of the Morgulduin was silent and steaming, but the twisting vapor that rose from it was deadly cold.

You may reveal any land card with either or both of the appropriate subtypes. It doesn't have to be a basic land. For example, you could reveal Prairie Stream from the Battle for Zendikar set to satisfy the ability of Choked Estuary.

2016-04-08wotc

Lands don't have a subtype just because they can produce mana of the corresponding color. Choked Estuary itself is neither an Island nor a Swamp, even though it produces blue and black mana, so you can't reveal one to satisfy the ability of another.

If an effect instructs you to put Choked Estuary onto the battlefield tapped, it will still enter the battlefield tapped even if you reveal a land card from your hand.
