Unbound Flourishing is neat, but the bigger question for me is what X costs are going to be in this set. So far, I only see Crypt Rats, and there's no way they'd not let you do goofy things with this in set.

Lesser Masticore could be some witty tech for my Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle list. Being able to ditch the creature i feel like resurrecting as it's being cast is pretty cool for 2.
Cheating a game winning Monastery Mentor around the stack is definitely welcome.
NEW SWORD! I WANT! Sword of Truth and Justice oh how I wish they could have reprinted the whole cycle of x and y swords.
They have never printed all 5 swords in one set.... they will definitely break up the cycle over 2-3 sets. I think it would be cool if we got a second one, maybe Sword of Black and Red or Green and Red.
How would you rank the swords (for commander)?
Fire and Ice
Feast and Famine
Light and Shadow
Truth and Justice
Body and Mind
War and Peace
Though truth and justice could easily be higher if built around.

I would switch the top 2 and you're right about TaJ since in the right deck it would be golden.

Yes however, this is not a core set. There is a good chance they will print all 5 in this set (They may also use it just to fill the rare slots easier, plus if they released a new sword in a core set, that would mean that while modern has access to all, the standard player peasant will never have had a chance to use the sword of Truth and Justice. The sword were previously released in core sets so we might have a different outcome this time. I would like to have all 5 come out in Horizons since the while point of a set is to give modern a bunch of new cards. (Even with the nice things we have, Horizons is not a commander set. The cards we are censoreding over are the rare ones.

Honestly for me, it's "what colors am I facing" that dictates which swords and in what order I fetch them in my voltron deck. But for now I only have Sword of Body and Mind and Sword of Feast and Famine
Fire and Ice
Feast and Famine
Light and Shadow
Truth and Justice

I would easily swap the top 2 and, in the only deck I run swords, War and Peace is easily above Body and Mind and Truth and Justice. The latter needs a bit of build around but can be pretty powerful but I really don't like Body and Mind. Body and Mind is the only of the current swords I don't run in anything as I don't think the triggers are all that great.
Archmage's Charm seems great. The first two modes are fairly self-explanatory, but now mono-blue finally has a somewhat reasonable answer to fast mana, and it's way better than just blowing that Ring up. This had better be part of a cycle or I am going to riot.

The issue with having all five swords is that the first one was previewed at mythic. So unless they split the cycle between rare and mythic (unlikely), having all five swords would mean 1/3rd of the mythics were sword of X and Y. More importantly, it would mean that the Sword cycle would take up all the remaining mythic slots. Given the mythics we have revealed so far, we're still missing any black mythics, which means the full cycle would result in an extremely unbalanced mythic ditribution, with white and green getting 2 each, while red and blue get 1 and black gets nothing.

unless they give us more mythics...
In fact 16 mythics would lead to 5 more mythic slot left, meaning 4 more swords and a black mythic. Done

Never have the words "Metallic Mimic on Masticore" been uttered nor would the common man believe you if you did.

Not a very constructed card however in a format full of mana rocks and a recent influx of planeswalkers
modern shifted to planeswalker play? Don't forget these cards are only legal in modern. (And EDH, but that is not the important part)
