Stapling flying and swampwalk onto the same green body is a small joke about evasion redundancy: the creature already wants to slip over the top in the air, and then, against the one color most likely to ground it, it can't be blocked at all. That double coverage is the design's whole pitch. Black was the natural enemy of Tempest-era evasion math, leaning on cheap ground blockers, removal, and the occasional flier to keep a small green attacker honest. Swampwalk papers over precisely that matchup, turning a fragile 1/1 into a guaranteed clock against anyone leaning on Swamps for their mana. The cost of two evasion keywords on one creature is that the rate stays low: a 1/1 for two is a deliberately undersized body, because the card sells reach in the air plus an unconditional out against a single mana base rather than raw stats. Landwalk belonged to a design philosophy that balanced creatures by handicapping them against specific color identities, a lever Wizards has since largely retired for being too binary; either the opponent runs the named land and the keyword is a free win, or they don't and it's blank. Few cards express that lever as cleanly: two keywords answering the two questions a green attacker most often faced, one universally and one only when the opponent's lands obliged.
