What the codes mean
The small print at the bottom of the Visions card (#52).

Rulings (8)
October 4, 2004
Anything which counts the number of Swamps on the battlefield will not double count an actual Swamp card while Blanket of Night is on the battlefield.
October 4, 2004
The land can now be tapped for black mana in addition to any other abilities it already has. This works just as if the text “
: Add ” was added to each mana-producing land. In other words, the land can be tapped for its own ability _or_ it can be tapped for black mana. Not both.October 4, 2004
It can affect lands which do not produce mana.
October 4, 2004
The ability is a land type change effect so it is ordered along with other land type change effects in the order they entered the battlefield.
October 4, 2004
More than one Blanket of Night has no meaningful additional effect.
October 4, 2004
Whether the land is a basic land or not is unchanged by this effect.
October 4, 2004
The lands do not get the name “Swamp” in addition to their current name. This is a reversal of older rulings.
October 15, 2006
If this effect is applied to a snow land, the land is now a snow Swamp and not just a regular Swamp.
