IMHO, the best use of this delicious card, both for effectiveness and flavor, is in a knights deck running a few Knight Exemplar.
@Eurasian: That is a swell idea. If I may, perhaps Oblivion Ring the (preferably unblockable) creature you equipped Worldslayer to, then cast Sudden Disappearance, targeting yourself. Sweep your opponent's board, and only sac 1 monster.

i once used a destruction deck and my opponent used an indestructible deck and played one of these and i was very sad.

The Little Girl just wanted to play, so she equipped the Darksteel Plate and the Worldslayer. So there she stood, all alone. Noone ever told her not to play with swords...

Although I probably wouldn't use this card seriously ever, I want to own one just so that whenever I see it I can laugh maniacally and imagine a massive all-consuming explosion over the table and just a sword left in the middle of the massive crater.
Maybe I will use it after all..

to answer the question about whether this should be a Legendary Artifact or not.
Indestructible.
I can combo this with LICH.
How? AVACYN.
Am I really that much of a dick? KAALIA. (yes I really am that much of a dick)
Solitary Confinement
Stoneforge Mystic
Obzedat, the Ghost Council
Darksteel Plate
Prototype Portal you know, to make more Swords. :)
Sometimes, I get the feeling nobody on Gatherer knows how to think in terms of "How Stupid Can This ACTUALLY Get" except me. :P

Screw Avacyn, you can run this with Nether Traitor. Just float one little black mana so he'll come back after you've blown up the universe.
Or, you know. Undying and persist and stuff. Puppeteer Clique wouldn't mind holding this. Not to mention that a bunch of faeries cooperating to hold a huge sword is pretty comical.

Only a madman could create such a sword. Only an imbecile would wield it.

I had the misfortune to be on the receiving end of this ... twice in one game. Thing is though, this card doesn't have much practical value other than making everyone else incredibly angry at you.

I grabbed a foil one of these for my Tajic EDH deck. It looks amazing. The shininess on the sword resembles what I'd imagine it'd look like if you actually had one.
With Tajic, 1 hit, and everything is gone except for him and this. Unless you can get him or the sword off the board with just 1 mana, you are dead.
The cast and equip costs are pricey, but with brass squire, you can whip it onto him quickly. Another really good card for the combo is stonehewer giant.
I wish it costed a little less to play/equip, but I can see why they didn't push this card. It can really ruin the fun for some people.
5/5 because it's just so awesome.
