Gameplay

Legendary Land

{T}: Add {B}. {T}: Target creature loses first strike or swampwalk until end of turn.

"Resignedly beneath the sky/The melancholy waters lie./So blend the turrets and shadows there/That all seem pendulous in air,/While from a proud tower in town/Death looks gigantically down." —Edgar Allan Poe, "The City in the Sea"

Causing a creature to lose swampwalk is useful only during the declare attackers step or earlier. Once the declare blockers step begins, it’s too late to block the creature.

2009-10-01wotc

Urborg’s second ability affects only the first strike ability, not the part of the double strike ability that acts like first strike.

2009-10-01wotc

You choose whether the targeted creature loses first strike or swampwalk as the ability resolves. If the creature has both abilities, it will lose just one of them.
