That relies on the theory that land spaces converted to swamp water are no longer land spaces. Could Mika place a shadow tile on top of a grass space that's been converted to swamp water by RTS? I'm not sure of the answer to it, though the thought that it is no longer a "land space" is a reasonable interpretation.

If we buy that, it does fall into the same argument that we allowed for the GIE-RTS interaction, that there is only one final result. So I agree it works.
I thought it was clear from RTS ability that all land or water spaces are considered to [instead] be swamp water spaces for all purposes. I suppose you COULD interpret the power to mean that all land or water spaces are considered to be swamp water spaces in addition to their original designation. However, this seems like a poor reading of the power and goes against the precedent set by GIE (water tiles affected by GIE aren't still considered to be water in addition to ice, right? For example, Water Clone isn't boosted if a Marro Warrior is standing on a water space affected by GIE?)
Yeah, it's certainly a reasonable interpretation, and almost certainly the right one. It's weird because "land space" is pretty much defined as "not a flat tile," and it still isn't a flat tile. But yeah, it's swamp water.
