I have 2 swords-of-feast-and-famine and 1 sword-of-wand-peace. I play casual but it seems like while these cards are winning cons in top decks... they are just ok in the decks I have. With someone with no stoneforge or jtms. should I just trade them?
jace and stoneforge were banned....please give me a link or info!!!!

You could make a puresteel paladin deck. There is a couple of really good ones on this sight.
Check this one out it is my favorite one.

Post-ban Caw-Blade in my area has evolved into a more aggressive version of its former self, using Blade Splicer to gain field advantage. It still focuses on the basics of UW control.
Other Caw-Blade builds, like Gerry Thompson's, use Emeria Angel and Consecrated Sphinx , upping the curve from JTMS Caw-Blade but maintaining field position and card advantage in the late-game.

Here's an article from WotC that showcases post-ban Caw-Blade decklists that made Top 10 in several recent premiere events:

Check out my deck Vampire Karnage for a nifty combo with Sword of Body and Mind + Bloodchief Ascension

No, they're still quite good. Current top tier Caw-Blade lists use Sword of Feast and Famine , even though Jace and stoneforge were banned.
