<p>Would <a class="mtg-autocard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bCabal%20Stronghold%5d">Cabal Stronghold</a> count <a class="mtg-autocard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bSnow-Covered%20Swamp%5d">Snow-Covered Swamp</a> for making mana? </p>

<p>I would assume so, as Cabal Stronghold counts basic swamp cards, and Snow-Covered Swamps have both basic and swamp on the card type.</p>

Would [Cabal Stronghold](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bCabal%20Stronghold%5d) count [Snow-Covered Swamp](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bSnow-Covered%20Swamp%5d) for making mana?

I would assume so, as Cabal Stronghold counts basic swamp cards, and Snow-Covered Swamps have both basic and swamp on the card type.
