If I tap the Undiscovered Paradise for black mana under the pretense that it is also a swamp does it still return to my hand?
My thought is that it will not return to my hand because I'm not using the activated mana ability of Undiscovered Paradise, but rather using the Tomb's passive ability.
No, it will not. You are using a different activated ability(the one created by the land being a swamp) and the return to hand effect(oddly not a trigger) is caused by using the tap for any color mana ability.
You will need to be clear which mana ability you are activating though.

I had a quick question.
Here is the groudwork for the question:
I control both Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and Undiscovered Paradise and both are in play.
If I tap the Undiscovered Paradise for black mana under the pretense that it is also a swamp does it still return to my hand?
My thought is that it will not return to my hand because I'm not using the activated mana ability of Undiscovered Paradise, but rather using the Tomb's passive ability.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
