SWAMPWALK: How would YOU do it?

[Confred]

-This thread is the second of a series-

Swampwalk is an ability from Magic: the Gathering

Swampwalk (This creature can't be blocked as long as defending player controls a Swamp.)

My first draft of this power conversion continued the offensive theme.
1) If the attacking figure is on a swamp space and the defending figure is on a swamp space, the defending figure cannot roll defense dice.

The power worked, but with AotP comes new dynamics: movement. The power clearly says Walk in it. This should be a movement power.
My second draft was a limited Phantom Walk; to pay homage I also split the word in two.

2)SWAMP WALK
Bog Raiders can move through all figures on swamp spaces and can't be attacked with leaving-engagement attacks when on swamp spaces.

So how would YOU do it?

Spoiler Alert!

Swamp Walk is the easiest of the landwalk powers to convert

I would say Phantom Walk (no disengage, pass through opponent's figs) + Road bonus (+3 movement) when on Swamp or Swamp Water. Maybe even add a defense bonus (roll 1 extra Toughness die or an auto-shied) when on Swamp/Swamp Water.

I thought of those same things! I didn't know if it was "too much".

I would go with the Marro Drudge style Swamp Water Tunnel.

You could modify so the figure did not take engagement attacks.

I interpret the "Landwalk" abilities as evasion. Which thematically, means they blend into their environment. Phantom Walk on swamp grass and water seems great.

I'd probably take a bit of a twist on it and give. Give a bonus both to swamp - as suggested - and against Black creatures - as the original MtG power suggests.

SWAMPWALK
This figure rolls 1 additional attack die when occupying a Swamp or Swamp Water space or when attacking a Black Creature.

The "walk" bit no longer makes much sense, but personally I'd rather capture the mechanical feel than the literal theme of the power.

how about like earth elemental's underground movement, but with swamp/swamp water and disengage:
SWAMPWALK
Instead of moving normally with an [figure], you may immediately place it on any empty swamp or swampwater space that is within 5 spaces of that [figure]. If an [figure] is engaged when it starts its Swampwalk, it will not take any leaving engagement attacks.
