The biggest upside to the color protections is that it makes it easier to get in for the damage to trigger the sword.

[@donniejefferson9554]

Exactly. Its tougher to land a hit with this thing than any of the other swords. Needs evasion from a different source

You just cast your removal on the sword or on the creature before they equip or board wipe

Every "creature only" Deck is bound to have a rampant growth. 2x rampants is plenty to run this card

[@51gunner]

I was thinking - any Voltron deck is going to run a couple tutor spells like Steelshaper's Gift or Open the Armory. I like Sword of Once and Future to get a second use out of them, but doubling one in your hand is also sweet, and honestly not bad even if you just get the protection and power/toughness.

[@ton1]

You can't use it this way, because you can only cast it after it attacked

[@iclimbeverything2990]

Are you really gonna double rampant growth? That's your master plan? Bruh

Unless your slinging spells this sword is one of the weaker ones for protection

[@battlegrizz3687]

It should go excellent in Kess. Every extra turn spell is 4 extra turns!😍

I mean, that's one good place to run it at least, I have a hard time thinking of many others. And there's one problem. Literally no one is going to want to play with you.

[@The_Nerd_King]

[@peewee0224]

@@sixtysixstyxdouble the reason it won’t stick around lol

[@nicolasrodriguezbadala1024]

The thing is protection from x colors allows you to deal damage since you can bypass creatures from said colors, so you can then trigger the second effect, this one doesn't help with that at all, protection is not just there to dodge removal. Still, it's a nice way to protect against removal and to get extra mana and value from spells.

[@williamdrum9899]

"In response to equip, I destroy your creature"

[@sebastianrochefort6763]

@@williamdrum9899 but thats the 'answer' to any sword

[@demonicgrub1025]

@@sebastianrochefort6763Ya, but this sword may as well say "gives +2/+2 and shroud until you find another piece of evasion" because that second ability is never triggering while every creature at the table can block it. At least the rest of the swords have upside when they *do* manage to get equipped. This one literally just feels like a worse lightning greaves.

[@sebastianrochefort6763]

@@demonicgrub1025 oh I completely agree, with you. I much prefer the other swords. I was referring to Williams comment.

[@semperignotus]

The biggest issue with the sword is that the others had innate evasion to actually get in hits with. Sure the protection from spells was nice based on colour, but the major allure was unblockable and thus letting you get the on hit triggers

[@peewee0224]

Slamming straight into my kefnet the mindful deck copying extra turns is gonna be fun.

[@ramuslatsman6944]

Is anyone out there having trouble with their creatures getting blocked by instants or sorceries? This sword is such hot garbage I can’t imagine any reason you would ever want it. It’s pyromancer’s goggles, which is pretty terrible already, but you need to connect with a creature you didn’t give evasion to before you can use it. What weird deck wants this? It’s an artifact in your spell slinger deck that needs creatures to get through to work, and if you want to target those creatures with any of your spells your going to need to move the sword over first. This is bottom of the bulk bin trash! At least sword of once and future isn’t the worst sword in the cycle anymore.

[@DiscardatRandom]

Finally someone with reasoning there’s only like 3 good swords anyways because they’re really slow and commander is just so fast now

[@AZDfox]

It's good for a Voltron deck. My Lathril deck would love to quadruple my boardstate, or reanimate twice as many enchantments, or just put twice as many permanents on the battlefield

[@Enragedshade]

You haven't seen kalamax then

[@V2ULTRAKill]

Youve never seen a cedh tempo deck This is easily the best sword in the cycle in a cedh setting

[@noirSONNE]

​@@V2ULTRAKillmaybe. 5 mama is a big investment when so many other things are cheaper and stand on there own. I could see it, but I would have to see some numbers first.

Going right into my friends Magnus the Red deck. Does exactly what you want it to do, protect magnus and copy instants and sorceries you've discounted when you hit with Magnus, which you also want to be doing to make your spells even cheaper.

[@GhostlyGhost333]

The protection that thing provides is good enough on its own in any deck. The rest of the effect is gravy.

[@calebthecondor]

I was thinking the same thing

[@DiscardatRandom]

5 mana for protection is way to slow just play lightning greaves and swift foot boots

[@thejackscraft3472]

have fun having your creature chump blocked and letting you opponent be the only one who gets to use surprise pump.

Veyran, voice of duality lovesssssss this sword!!

[@demonicgrub1025]

How are you planning on triggering it's second ability? Cause Veyran sure as hell doesn't have in built evasion. And if you are relying on another card to get through, would it not be 1000 times better to run one of the other 5 cost instant and sorcery doublers? Ones without conditions that make them incredibly difficult to trigger?

[@MissingNovice]

Everybody out here thinking protection from Instants and Sorceries is crazy hasn't realized they're just describing worse Hexproof. Like this sword is gonna be fun in Commander sure, but it isn't outclassing most of the pre-existing swords. The fact that it can be chumped takes away one of the biggest advantages the other swords have.

[@V2ULTRAKill]

.... This is the only cedh viable sword in theory That second half is by far the best effect in a sword cycle and being blocked isnt a consistent cedh issue unless there's more than two tempo decks in a pod

[@MissingNovice]

@@V2ULTRAKillPotentially? But that still makes it incredibly niche. Not to mention I have my doubts that it'll see CEDH play. 5 mana to play it plus a swing kinda feels too slow for CEDH.

@@MissingNovice yeah, copying a spell is generally a 2 mana investment, or for 4 you can get Ral Storm Conduit and have it repeatable in a much more reliable way than this.

[@YourBoyNobody530]

So, this is really good with green/red decks because green gives you fight me spells like bite down, and red gives you extra combat phases.

[@thejackscraft3472]

it's actually terrible with fight spells, as you can't target your own creature with this. it's protection, not hexproof.

The period after treasure token means the next instant and sorcery copy isnt with the cpmbat trigger

[@jonathanlenormand8115]

That is a pretty bad take. Getting protection from instants and sorceries was kinda implied with the protection from colors already, and here it's going to be extremely difficult to connect your attack to benefit from the damage trigger.

[@eloquence_4143]

I think this sword is really strong and definitely outclasses some of the swords in the cycle, but not Feast and Famine. Doubling your next instant/sorcery just isn’t as good as having an entire second turn’s worth of mana (and can only compare if you’re dumping all of your mana into doubling something like exsanguinate). The treasure and discard are pretty on par ribbons, but then F&F’s protection from green and black is significantly stronger than W&P’s instant/sorcery protection, since green and black are the most powerful colors in casual commander and the protection will simultaneously work as evasion and as general protection, whereas W&P only guards against single target removal (albeit more reliably)

Protection from instants and sorceries is just worse hexproof. It doesn't offer nearly the same level of protection as the other swords do. The second ability is the reason to run this. If your deck is making tokens it's good, but almost any deck would benefit from copying spells. It's just unfortunate that the sword doesn't make it easier to get that trigger by itself.
