About Nightmare
Nightmare, Creature — nightmare horse, designed by Melissa A. Benson first released in Aug, 1993 in the set Limited Edition Alpha and was printed exactly in 31 different ways.
A deck focused on mono-black or heavy black mana sources would benefit from including the Nightmare card, as its power and toughness scale with the number of Swamps you control. This card could be particularly strong in a deck that aims to control the board with a lot of Swamps in play. However, there are potentially better options available, such as Tarmogoyf or Death's Shadow, which offer more consistent power and toughness without relying on specific land types. Overall, Nightmare could see play in certain niche strategies but may not be a top-tier choice in competitive Magic: the Gathering decks.
