Lost in the Swamp has the honor of featuring the oldest art in the set… I drew this piece all the way back in 2018, shortly before our D&D campaign kicked off!

This is one of a number of multicolor cards in the set where each mana color corresponds to a different mode or ability. My hope is this makes for some interesting deckbuilding flexibility. A card like this would obviously be strongest in a black/green deck, but a player with only one of those colors may still find it worth including for JUST the Skeleton tokens or JUST the landcycling, especially in a limited environment!

Decks with access to both colors will get the best of both worlds, and be able to choose which effect is more impactful as they play it.
