Swamp is Curse of Death\'s Hold from Innistrad.

No creatures for your opponent.

I prefer Elesh Norn and Godhead of Awe, but this works too.

Well, considering this is a turn 5 kill with no ramp, it's a little better than Norn+Godhead. Not to mention being harder to get rid of as both cards are enchantments and not creatures. If you splash Green you can add Life and Limb or Living Plane (Better) to not only get rid of their creatures, but lands too :)

Life and Limb only affects forests and saprolings. But yeah, this certainly does have better ramp, but its also two colored. And unless you had creatures = to the amount of life they had left, you couldn't kill them that turn, which gives them more time to respond. The think I like about Elesh is that it pumps your own creatures, so that you can most likely finish your opponent off the turn you play her. I'm not saying its bad, I just know that the people I play against wouldn't let that stick around for more than one or two turns.
