Agree, I plan on sticking with Jace B for the moment. Not sure what will happen when Innistrad comes in and pushes him out of the format, other than me being sad. 🙁

I agree the swords are powerful, I’m just not sure that they fit in any of the currently existing decks. Boros is the deck most likely to play any, but they don’t do well in RDW or Vampires. The problem of which one to play is also significant, as there are Titans of all colors running around right now which makes having a Sword that makes its wearer Unblockable unlikely.

He kinda makes the curve a problem more than anything.

SoFI saw play in a truly absurd format (though part of that was due to Troll Ascetic), and Sword of War and Peace is similarly insane in an aggro deck.
