I don"t understand why some are not sold on this sword, potential EI on each turn is pure value, pretty powerfull effect
Well, what I mostly dislike is that it's not exaclty drawing you cards.
2 card isn't very deep. Unless you hit lands, you're not getting immediate value since you have to pay for the cards as they don't carry over to the next turn.
Turns where you pay for its equip cost makes it awkward to get value out of it.
Its fine, I guess. But I prefer several other swords that net immediate value.
IIRC it will check the last know loyalty. If you kill it with burn, it will alter the PT of the token to 0/0. If you Hero's Downfall or whatever in response, it doesn't shrink the token.
Huh. Interesting.
If it's not susceptible to bounce or destroy effects, It gets better.
I assumed that no pw = loyalty is 0
I was under the impression that when the ability enters the stack, it checks the loyalty as it resolves. If you burn or remove in response would it not be altered?
I am aware this is not a */*.
Im just looking at responding to the +1
I was wondering since you took out Enclave Cryptologist.. Was it too slow for you or unpopular? I've not had many drafts with it in play to the point I think I'm keeping it because it's the only 1CMC creature I've got with Blue.
I didn't even include any swords in my cube. But this one just feels more interesting as a whole. I might get this one and give it a try and see how it all goes from there.
I'm also very interested in trying out a great way to proliferate.
I didn't think they'd go for a land destruction route with the gruul sword.
I was thinking they'd go somewhere along the lines of exiling the two or three top cards and be able to cast them until end of turn while being able to play additional lands this turn.. like the ones you'd exile too.

Answering the +1 witb a removal leaves you with nothing. And burn spells exists too.
Overrun effect seems ok. But you would need forest. And creatures.
Ramping with elves is fine but leaves you with less forests.
I don't know. Im not feeling that one
So he has that going for it
Now is there anything worth running that has the corrupted tag or leaning heavily in the toxic theme..
Aged poorly though. I don't run any swords, will not run this one for sure.

I suppose I'll have to just add all of them new canopy lands.
Then again, I'm already satisfied with that Orzhov has to offer already.
