After contemplating it, this sword seems pretty well placed at the moment. They just brought back Proliferate in the current standard set and this sword does have some pretty outstanding effects.

2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!
Well, so much for Death and Chaos. The BR Sword is Sinew and Steel. This also puts the kibosh on the "four horsemen" theory.

Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.

There is still and U & B sword for 'death' and a R & G sword for Chaos.
It is neat that the art of those are all in Tarkit (or looks like) at first i though it was Alara and the "white dragon" could be a pegasus. The castle desing realy threw me off but i guess it is a dromoka castle without walls lol
Maybe we are returning to tarkir in the future for the rest of those.

The setting is Dominaria. Chris Rahn confirmed it on his Twitter.

Dang! 2 times wrong lol
Well it will only make it really dificult to guess where they can appear outside of modern horizons 2-3-4-5 i guess. Don't know if say the W-G or R-G would be that warping in a standard format (as most of removal is black) could be nice to see one or 2 swords in standard some time in the future. (but they will probably just print them in MH type of product )
How about Honor and Glory for the GW Sword? Compliments Truth and Justice rather well, I'd say. Has anyone suggested Vim and Vigor for the RG Sword yet?
UB Sword of Secrets and Lies RG Sword of Vim and Vigor GW Sword of Honor and Glory
You know, Death and Destruction would have been an appropriate alternative for Sword of Steel and Sinew. Seriously, all these cool BR names they could have chosen and they went with an obscure one!?

Not bad, but since Magic's trying to be all PC now, Crown and Country would be more likely.
There are so many good names for color pairs, one almost wants there to be additional cycles.

UB - Sword of Misery and Despair
RG - Sword of Chaos and Havoc
WG - Sword of Peace and Love
Honor and glory sounds too much like it would be RW to me. I vote King and Country for the GW sword.
