Leechridden Swamp

Description

Leechridden Swamp, designated as card number 273 in the Shadowmoor expansion, is a distinctive land card released in 2008 for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed by artist Lars Grant-West, this uncommon card serves as a functional black swamp that enters the battlefield tapped, requiring careful timing for players managing their mana resources.
