I agree, utter garbage. Why do they keep reprinting this?

This card is inferior to Chimney Imp in almost every way.

Chimney Imp has flying. This does not.
Chimney Imp can take down a Metallic Sliver or any other 1/1 or 0/1 chump-blocker by himself and still live to tell about it. This card can't even block.
Chimney Imp can do 5 damage if pulled out by Explosive Revelation. Explosive Revelation won't even take this card, and if it would, it still wouldn't do any damage.
If Chimney Imp is destroyed, one of your opponents loses tempo. If this card is destroyed, you're at the disadvantage, especially early in the game.

About the only thing going for it is that it's free to play-- but hey, you can only play one per turn! It's possible to play two, even three Chimney Imps in a turn under the right conditions. Unless you're running some fancy combo, you're not gonna play more than one Swamp per turn.

All in all, a lousy card. I can't understand at all why it's been reprinted so frequently.

Why the hell is a flower the center of focus in a picture FOR A SWAMP?!

Who ever said swamps can't be pretty?

I like this art and hope to see more "pretty" swamps in the future.
