It's a big eh. Hitting artifacts is nice and pretty relevant most of the time(at least in EDH) but hitting walkers is very very niche, still got to snag one for my decks but just... EHHHHHHH.
In what universe? If you build a deck like that, and ever draw that hand, I will personally come to wherever you live, perform complicated acts of awestruck ********, then disembowel myself to escape the world that allowed something like this to occur and validate you.
Yeah, I hate to join the naysayers but this is easily the worst of the Sword mega cycle, I just hope it stays that way. I don't want to be disappointed by this, considering we're also getting Sword of Truth and Justice, but compared to that very sword, this is disappointing.

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
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.
ROFL it destroys itself if the other player has no artifacts. This sword is GARBAGE!
It says up to one target planeswalker and up to one target artifact. As such, you can choose to destroy a planeswalker, an artifact, one of each, or absolutely nothing at your discretion once the equipped creature does combat damage to a player.
I don't get why people are down on this. The swords don't see Modern play, and it will never not have a target in EDH, often be able to take 2 things, and targeted. This card is very real

Project Booster Fun makes it less fun to open a booster.
Am I right in assuming that this will be a house in EDH? Hit the most vulnerable opponent, then destroy the most troublesome planeswalker and artifact on the battlefield?

Except for protection colors, I think it’s not good. I don’t know any modern or legacy deck that use both artifact and planeswalker except Tron or red prison.
Whoa, are they all on Tarkir? That’s neat and makes a ton of sense in terms of dual cycles.
But. Neither of them are on Tarkir? Truth and Justice has a pegasus knight and a castle. This one has generic dragons that don't match any of the dragonlord broods.
I do appreciate they're all by Chris Rahn again. He'll forever have a slew of cards to sign.
I hope someday they would look into the other swords in mtg mythos like kaldra weapons and etc

Nvm, I see up to now. Still, really bad design!
It says 'up to one'
It says up to one target planeswalker and up to one target artifact. As such, you can choose to destroy a planeswalker, an artifact, one of each, or absolutely nothing at your discretion once the equipped creature does combat damage to a player.
Yeah it's bad...
Seems like a very easy way to hose pw commanders.
at least they didn't waste a name as great as Sword of Death and Chaos in a subpar sword (for this cycle anyway)... lol
I mean, the card is not bad, but I'm surely not expecting anything super situational and narrow for this cycle.
Sword of Spite and Malice
EDIT: Apparently, Spite and Malice is some card game, but it still sounds cool as hell.
