Scars of Mirrodin spoilers!

Sword of Body and Mind has been spoiled!



yes! seems good, in the same vein as the Darksteel swords.

Oh my, that's good. Very cool!

Though, where do you think it fits on the power level of the previous swords? I have to say it's worse than either other sword, mostly because of the card advantage:

Sword of Fire and Ice nets a card and deals 2 damage to a target. So potentially, you can use this one card to net 2 cards (the one you drew, and the opponent's creature you wasted). If not, that extra 2 damage is going to kill your opponent quicker. And finally, this negates red removal.

Sword of Light and Shadow gains 3 life and returns a creature from the graveyard to your hand. This allows you to use this one card to get one card, as long as you have a creature in your graveyard (which can be built around with 187 creatures). Definitely not as shiny because of the potential for zero card advantage, but it also shields from black removal.

Sword of Body and Mind nets a "card" (the 2/2 token) and mills for 10. While this does put your opponent on a clock, milling does not effect the game board. Plus, SoLS's graveyard retrieval can get back a better creature than a vanilla 2/2 most times. And protection from green and blue is rarely relevant in terms of removal.

That being said, I love the swords. Very cool cards. I look forward to smashing face with it in the near future.
