The original Mirrodin block used 1/1 green Insects, but we have no idea what is living on the plane in this new block. Don't expect to be seeing the same creatures as were there before.
Sword of Fire and Ice had spell effects that cost one mana of each color (Draw a card, shock). Light and Shadow did the same (healing salve, raise dead). So this is probably the same. The effect is probably put a 1/1 or a 2/2 token into play and some kind of cheap blue effect (scry, mill X cards, untap/tap something, etc.)
i'm thinking tap/untap target permanent for the "Mind" part. fits with the one mana cost spell trend too. the "Body" part could either refer too the equipped creature's body (+1/+1 counter seems likely) or a new body (1/1 token). both are also one mana spells.
Not sure why this thread is still open, but all of you are getting way too hung up on the name.
Sword of fire and ice has the "ice" part as "draw a card".
The name of the sword is the colors, not abilities.
I doubt any abilities will be reused, either, that is just meh.
Also sofi and sols would have been mythic in darksteel...
So, this looks like the first card we have for Scars of Mirrodin.
Sword of Body and Mind Can't see the abilities
Also, the link is for the facebook page of starcitygames, here is the link. I hope this is the right way to post it.

EDIT: I just saw the FTV thread, please ignore this.
I would assume the short bit is pro blue/green, and then the big block is a blue and a green ability. Maybe Unsummon and Rampant Growth or something.

Would draw a card, giant growth be too good?
Giant Growth wouldn't work; the current Swords only trigger when they do combat damage to a player. Growth would happen too late.
I'm guessing...
Draw a card and search for a basic land(although 'land') would be great.
or
Scry X and get 2 1/1 tokens or 2 1/1 tokens
Or combinations.
draw a card
put a +1/+1 counter
body and mind ;D

Artifact- Equipment (M)
Equipped creature gets +2/+2 and has protection from blue and green.
Whenever equipped creature deals combat damage to a player, put a +1/+1 counter on equipped creature and you draw a card.
It's worded exactly like the other swords, save for that perhaps the +1/+1 counter could go to target creature instead fof just the equipped one.
I do like the idea of a token for the green half...what kind of tokens could be running around Mirrodin?

Because that wouldn't be insane or anything.
Maybe one card sure, but two? That would be the nuts in addition to making the creature even meaner to block.

If it's rare, we could see things like... boomerang and rampant growth.
