Urborg

Legendary Land

{T}: Add {B}.

{T}: Target creature loses first strike or swampwalk until end of turn.

Official rulings

  1. The ability can be used on a creature without First Strike or Swampwalk but has no effect. (2004-10-04)
  2. If a creature loses first strike after first strike combat damage has been assigned, it won’t deal damage during the second combat damage step. (2008-04-01)
  3. Causing a creature to lose swampwalk is useful only during the declare attackers step or earlier. Once the declare blockers step begins, it’s too late to block the creature. (2009-10-01)
  4. Urborg’s second ability affects only the first strike ability, not the part of the double strike ability that acts like first strike. (2009-10-01)
  5. You choose whether the targeted creature loses first strike or swampwalk as the ability resolves. If the creature has both abilities, it will lose just one of them. (2009-10-01)
