I wondered what people find so great about this until i noticed it demands the opposite condition of Fatal Blow.
(It also fits the Orzhov theme a lot better to execute creatures that attacked someone, not victims that got attacked.)

An Executioner's Swing is a playground swing 500 feet in the air that falls when the executioner wants it to and kills the creature playing in the swing unless it's huge.

Seems like the "dealt damage" clause was unnecessary. Would this card be awesome without that? Of course. Would it be broken? Hell no. Grasp of Darkness already exists (and so does Dismember) and having the same cost but in 2 colors seems like it would be enough to move the -/- to 5. I say this should have been moved to uncommon and the restriction removed. Then it would be better, cooler, playable, and still not a bomb common that puts everyone who opens it into BW immediately. As it is, it is a OK limited card that isn't even in the top 3-4 of removal in its colors.

WannabeJedi1337: You're not the only one! I opened up a booster pack and I also read it as 'Executioner's Swag'. I felt like a dingus, but it got worse. I looked through the cards I had received again, and I read it as Executioners Swag.... AGAIN! D:

Don't forget you can cast this in between your white creatures' first strike damage and normal combat damage.

@ iFailed On the off chance you want to behead your own creatures?
