Interesting combo if you use this with a Wrath of God to leave your black opponent without anything while you retain all your lands :D
Huge fun ensues when you use any of the blue "color/land alteration" spells to change the wording to another land type.
4/5

I was going to ask why the Oracle text contradicts the card, then I saw that all the earlier printings agreed with the Oracle. So I guess the question is why they decided to change what the card does for the 4th edition printing and make the creatures black.
Also, "these creatures are blacknot."

From the rulings:
10/4/2004 The creatures are not black.
From the card:
All Swamps are 1/1 black creatures...
Little mix up?

This, Blanket of Night, anything that pumps all of your creatures up, and then some form of 1 damage to all creatures effect. It isn't like there is a shortage of the last two.
EDIT: @TalShiar: Coat of Arms only affects each creature once. Coat of Arms states "Each creature gets +1/+1 for each other creature on the battlefield that shares at least one creature type with it" - This means that it only counts how many creatures share a creature type, and not how many creature types are shared. Additionally, Kormus Bell does not give the swamps creature types - So without Mephidross Vampire or a similar effect, they don't get ANY bonus from Coat of Arms or things that rely on creature type.
Second Edit: This, Urborg, tomb of Yawgmoth, and Linvala, Keeper of Silence. Oh, hey, you can't tap your creatures for mana. Or your lands for mana. Hope you have some artifacts. Oh, wait, what's t... (see all)
