I am just trying to wrap my head around the rules when using vision charm against dual lands. Will the dual land still keep the ability to produce the unnamed land type?
As in, my opponent has Tropical Islands, I name forest to be changed to swamps. Would they still have the ability to tap their Tropical Island for Blue mana?
Thanks in advance!
Vision Charm does not replace one basic type with another, as a few other effects do, but rather changes things of one type to another type. When you change a land into a basic land type, it loses all other abilities and gains the mana producing ability of that type. Tropical Island can only tap for black mana.
“It's possible. But it involves... {checks archives} Nature's Revolt, Opalescence, two Unstable Shapeshifters (one of which started as a Doppelganger), a Tide, an animated land, a creature with Fading, a Silver Wyvern, some way to get a creature into play in response to stuff, some way to get a land into play in response to stuff (a different land from the animated land), and one heck of a Rube Goldberg timing diagram.”

Basic is a supertype. (as in Basic Land - Island). It is not a valid selection for Vision Charm. You can select one of the basic land types (Island, Swamp, Mountain, Forest, Plains) for the second part of the Vision Charm land-shifting ability. You choices for the first part are:
Island
Swamp
Mountain
Forest
Plains
Urza's
Power-plant
Tower
Mine
Locus
Lair
Desert

So just to be sure I understood well the previous point on the tropical island becoming a swamp. Will this counter sort of wasteland ability as well ?
Wasteland target -> tropical, you respond by vision charm for forest into swamp -> wasteland ability fizzle because there is no longer a legal target ?

I am sorry to resurrect this thread, but I'm trying to figure out card interaction between Vision Charm and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth.
Urborg reads "Each land is a Swamp in addition to its other land types."
Vision Charm reads "Choose a land type and a basic land type. Each land of the first chosen type becomes the second chosen type until end of turn."
What happens if I target swamps and turn them into islands?
