Oracle Text

(This creature can't be blocked except by creatures with or reach.)

Nightmare's power and toughness are each equal to the number of Swamps you control.

The thunder of its hooves beats dreams into despair.

If you control 0 swamps, then the Nightmare has 0 toughness and will be put into its owner’s graveyard as a state-based action right before the next player gains priority.

10/1/2009·wotc

Nightmare’s power and toughness changes as the number of Swamps you control changes.

7/1/2013·wotc

Nightmare’s ability counts all lands you control with the subtype Swamp, not just ones named Swamp.
