Sword of War and Peace
Artifact — Equipment
Equipped creature gets +2/+2 and has protection from red and from white. ((Remember the acronym debt.) Equipped creature can't be damaged, enchanted, equipped, blocked or targeted by anything red or white. Anything red or white attached to equipped creature immediately falls off.)
Whenever equipped creature deals combat damage to a player, this deals damage to that player equal to the number of cards in their hand and you gain 1 life for each card in your hand.
Equip (: Attach this to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery. This enters the battlefield unattached and stays on the battlefield if the creature this card is attached to leaves the battlefield.)

legendofa I’m back with some more. As always, weed out whatever you deem unsuitable. Sometime’s it’s difficult to tell what I’m looking at in some of these cards, sort of inverted pareidolia.
Probables:
•Umara Raptor normally I’d say the perspective is a little strange, but after watching a few falconer videos on YouTube this is indeed the usual positioning of the arm.
•Semblance Anvil reflection is reversed, but I think this one probably fits the criteria.
•Trigons of Corruption, Infestation, Mending, Rage, Thought.
Doubtful:
•Disfigure (zendikar set, idk the abbreviation offhand to pull up the correct version here) perspective is questionable
•Expedition Map
we might be looking through someone’s eyes, but it’s certainly not whoever those hands belong to.
•Recurring Insight this one doesn’t make any sense. How can we be looking into the reflection of someone’s eye and see ourselves looking in the opposite direction? Maybe this was from a scrapped M.C. Escher crossover set
•Sphinx-Bone Wand hands, and probably FPP, but almost certainly not from the point of view of whoever that hand belongs to.
•Suffer the Past if the tendrils count as hands, yes. If not, nah
•World at War angle is too low I think.
•Dissipation Field Honestly not sure. Are we looking through that woman’s eyes and seeing her own reflection? Or are we seeing a distorted image of her inside said dissipation field?
•Furnace Celebration I don’t think there’s anything here, but I’m not 100%.
•Sword of Body and Mind and Sword of Feast and Famine and Sword of War and Peace could potentially be FPP, but that would be strange.
•Darksteel Relic the angle is off
•Rally the Forces is like Furnace Celebration. Not positive, but probably nothing here.

Fog Draw EDH

I got to play a bunch this weekend! The deck performed well I've updated the list to match what I've currently got, my local shop was missing some singles.
Generous Gift moved back to the maybeboard but only cause I couldn't buy it this weekend.
I found that the deck worked quite well but I obviously couldn't close out games. I had a few scenarios where Selvala, Explorer Returned could repeat pretty much forever thanks to Sword of the Paruns or Umbral Mantle and Smothering Tithe + 4 players in the game. Flipping my commander till deck out was too painful to ever actually do so games ended with scooping.
The take away is that I need to be able to end games just to save everybody's sanity. More things like Felidar Sovereign and Psychosis Crawler are needed. Helix Pinnacle is a meme and I'll basically never pull it off. So here is the maybe board for actually finishing games.
Viseling Storm Seeker Black Vise Iron Maiden Sword of War and Peace
Some other cards that look interesting to me are Credit Voucher to help me find the above win conditions and Champions of Minas Tirith as another tax. I found that the deck was excellent at filling everybody's hands as expected.

Saw this artwork on Bing and absolutely had to do this:
I thought this could be a neat idea; Turning the Swords into Legendary Creatures. Albeit their design space is highly limited as their colors and abilities are already chosen, so there's really no need to make it into a cycle.
Don't worry about the Partner challenge.
Wildcard, instead.

Elder Brain: slow, but could be funny
Sword of War and Peace: could help punish the card draw
you may want to up the number of counterspells to deal with the fact you're helping your opponents dig, combo decks will ruin your day.
Drops
No Mercy or Dissipation Field: probably the board wipes will be enough with only one of these.
I might trade out some of the 3 drop rocks for signets or talismans
It may not be a bad idea to have some other cheap combo line to pull off when playing against combo decks as well since you're digging so much with the draw (Consecrated Sphinx could help here too)
the big worry is needing to speed the deck up which involves somewhat expensive mana rocks:
DemonDragonJ on Ranking the Swords of X …
1 year ago
It has been almost a month since my previous post in this thread, but I now am ready to post my new list, to include the final sword, as follows:
10: Sword of Forge and Frontier
First, I ranked the final sword, Sword of Once and Future, as ninth place out of ten, because its abilities are so narrow that it requires that a deck be built specifically to take advantage of them, a trait that it shares with Sword of Forge and Frontier; if it surveilled more than two cards or could cast a spell with a mana value higher than 2, I believe that it would have been far more versatile. Second, I switched the places of Sword of Body and Mind and Sword of War and Peace, because I now realize that SoBaM is nearly as conditional as are the two lowest swords, as very few decks focus on both milling and creating tokens, where as SoWaP is actually more versatile and not nearly as conditional as I originally judged it to be.
What does everyone here think of my new rankings?

Some thoughts:
-
ideally you stoneforge decks only need/want 3 targets to search for. Having Batterskull and 3 swords is excessive - i’d ditch Sword of War and Peace, its by far the weakest of the options you’re running here.
-
definitely get rid of the other equipment from your sideboard. Its not going to help you, and will just limit your ability to bring in actually useful sideboard cards against problem matchups.
-
with a semi-low mana curve, Hierarch, and card draw in Ice-Fang, there’s no way you need 24 lands. You should be able to cut back to 22, and can probably go even a bit lower.
-
I don’t see the value in Ascendant Spirit at all, as its just a lot of mana to pump into something for minimal gain. Something like Ephemerate would be a lot more useful. If you go down that route, you’ll probably find Eternal Witness a better fit than Staggering Insight.
