🖋️ Curator's Notes

Whenever a Swamp you control enters, choose one —

• You draw a card and you lose 1 life.

• This creature deals 2 damage to any target and you gain 2 life.

"It beckons silently, waiting in the darkness."

Official Judge Precedents

2 Precedents

2019-07-12

A Swamp is a land with the subtype Swamp, not any land with a mana ability that produces black mana.

2019-07-12

If you choose the second mode and the chosen target is an illegal target by the time Dread Presence's triggered ability tries to resolve, the ability doesn't resolve. You won't gain 2 life, and the ability won't change to the first mode.
