    Political Trickery and Fetchlands

    Can I cast Political Trickery targeting my opponent's swamp and my Bloodstained Mire and then crack fetch in response, essentially stealing?

    Example: If a spell attempts to exchange control of two target creatures but one of those creatures is destroyed before the spell resolves, the spell does nothing to the other creature.
    So, no Brett, no exchange occurs.

    Exchange control of target land you control and target land an opponent controls.

    There's a reason why Shifting Borders has been more popular historically - as an instant, you can cast it after putting something like Oboro, Palace in the Clouds's ability on the stack.
    “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.
