I agree with LordAlvon.
This is better than the older two because they gave one mana effects and this give two mana effects. Mill for five would have been enough and the token... strangely it feels just right.
Don't forget that it grants also protection for just 3 mana to play an 2 to equip.
I don't expect -1/-1 counters granted by the black/green sword. They are too specific for this set I think.

If this sucks compared to the other swords, then why were they so good? It's likely the five hits from this and you're dead. It makes wolves to wield it (somehow) and just looks cool. Whoever says this isn't good is stupid.

Just when you think the original two swords can't get any more broken... Hello, I'm the Sword of Body and Mind, here to ruin your day!
I see this card causing a lot of grief for a lot of people, especially one of my friends who uses a gain life/scry deck. Sure, the 2/2 wolf token isn't that great, but it's always good as fodder for cards like Mass Polymorph, Day of the Dragons, as well as others, but the 10 card milling is brutal unless the opponent takes advantage of cards in the graveyard, which is fewer and further between than most seem to think. Plus with 10 cards off the top of the deck, you have roughly a 1 in 5 chance (compensating for cards drawn in game) of hitting at least one vital card your opponent relies on. Even if you don't hit a vital card, you'll more than likely take a good chunck of their lands away.
With the +2/+2 and protection to U and G it's a very solid card that will be abused just like the Sword of Fir... (see all)

melted guns of tomorrow (4) may only cast by tapping 4 basic lands
melted guns of tomorrow comes into play with 4 counters on it.
1. first counter spent you may cause 3 damage to target player or serum 3 poison counters
2. second counter spent you may destroy one target permanent
3. third counter spent you may look at top 4 cards of your library and put one in hand
4. fourth counter spent you may sacrifice 4 permanents, 4 life and 4 cards in hand
you may sacrifice one counter per turn as a sorcery.
if you achieve sacrificing number 4 counter the 'magic the gathering inventive team' must hire me as a full blown card time creator.
(by the way, if a creature has 'serum' and blocks a creature with 'infect' it may deduct a poison counter, deduct a -1/-1 counter, or deal 1 damage to target player.)
ooooooo ooooooo

perhaps a red white sword could be called "sword of heart and soul"? or "earth and sky"?

A wholesome breakfast consists of wolves and the thoughts from your opponent's head. I approve.
