This thing wrecks in EDH. Seriously, throw it in your deck.

@raptorman333: more like Great Grey Wolf Sif from Dark Souls.

It's a nice card, I think Loxodon Warhammer will remain my favorite equipment for now. The haste on this card seems pretty hard to take advantage of with an equip cost of 3.

I love that the artwork for the sword is the same as the one one Akroma, Angel of Wrath weilds - combined with the flavour text. Three mana to equip is usually a steep cost but this card makes your creatures fight like the angel herself, so it might be worth it. I guess flying and protection from black and red are her angelic abilities and not provided by her sword. Hopefully the competitive players will stay a way so the rest of us can get a powerful peice of equipment to play with.

As said, this is the sword of Akroma, Angel of Wrath.

Take this away from Akroma, and all of a sudden she's an 4/6 flying, pro red and black angel. :P

Sacred Wolf is just ASKING to be equipped with this. Also, flavorwise, it'd be funny to see a wolf wielding this sword with vengeance in his eyes.

Sword of Vengeance is the same sword as the one wielded by Akroma, Angel of Wrath, in the Legions, and Time Spiral "Timeshifted" printings, and also the same as the one held by the statue of Akroma's Memorial, in its Future Site printing.

The sword bears the same golden triangle tipped pommel, the same equally spaced ringed grip, the same horned cross guard, golden, embedded with a single azure gem, the exact same fuller, edge and central ridge in the blade, and the same golden tip. The flavor text is probably derived from one of the books, but the sword itself is beyond a doubt, the same sword as Akroma's.

It is note worthy to mention that the red and white Akromas share only three abilities, flying, protection from certain colors, and trample. Flying is a result of their angelic nature, not the weapon they are wielding, and the same with the their respective protection from colors. Trample is probably the result of both the Sword of Vengeance like sword that Akroma, Angel of Wrath... (see all)
