"Resignedly beneath the sky/The melancholy waters lie./So blend the turrets and shadows there/That all seem pendulous in air,/While from a proud tower in town/Death looks gigantically down."

Rulings
- 2004-10-04 The ability can be used on a creature without First Strike or Swampwalk but has no effect.
- 2008-04-01 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.
- 2009-10-01 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 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 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.
