What it does

Flying (This creature can't be blocked except by creatures with flying or reach.)

Nightmare's power and toughness are each equal to the number of Swamps you control.

Rulings

4 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2008-04-01

    If you control 0 swamps, then the Nightmare has 0 toughness and will be put into its owner’s graveyard as a state-based action right before the next player gains priority.

  • 2009-10-01

    Nightmare’s power and toughness changes as the number of Swamps you control changes.

  • 2013-07-01

    Nightmare’s ability counts all lands you control with the subtype Swamp, not just ones named Swamp.

  • 2013-07-01

    The ability that defines Nightmare’s power and toughness works everywhere, not just on the battlefield.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Nightmare

29 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Nightmare — a name search across every version, for the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
