Card notes: Smoldering Marsh
Smoldering Marsh is a Swamp Mountain land that taps for {B} or {R}, and enters tapped unless you control two or more basic lands. Its 2015-08-25 ruling says its basic land types do not make it a basic land because basic is absent from its type line; effects specifying a basic land type can affect it without requiring it to be basic. Scryfall lists it legal in Pioneer, Modern, and Commander, with 36 printings. EDHREC lists it in 827,104 of 2,439,203 decks it could fit.
