This humbles RDW, forcing them to play Smelt or something.

Thats not really a drawback. A drawback is when the card hurts you in some way, not when its ability is going to be slightly weaker in some situations. You could say sword of body and mind is a drawback if your opponent has flashback or reanimation cards, but thats still situational, not a real drawback.

I don't like that there's white sun on the flaming blade side and red sun on the white blade side. It should be the other way around, imo.

If this is on an infect card, for the second ability regarding hand size, does it do extra poison counters or does it damage their life total?

Have to admit, wasn't too impressed w/this one at 1st glance.. Then I played with it on my ps3 (Dotp 2012) and its won me countless matches. It's awesome in the "wielding steel" deck which is white/artifact equip. Just brutal folks.. 5/5

Why isn't this card a 5? even without the broken mechanic it gives protection from the two best colors in the game.

The worst of the five swords; despite this, it's still more than worthy of a 5/5.

Between War and Peace I think we are all going to hold the flame side out.
Flavor aside, this card seems a little too quarky to compare to the other swords. Don't get me wrong I welcome this new sword that looks like it is made of the sun. I just keep thinking of the fact that this card probably started out as Black Vise and Ivory Tower fused together, but then got nerfed mid testing for obvious reasons.

I for one am glad that it didn't get some boring expected ability, like shock and tap something. Pretty neat seeing Sudden impact and Gerrard's wisdom stapled together.

I am pleased with the design of this final sword. What makes the swords of x and y so much fun is that while they are all strong it's not always obvious how to use them. Their abilities aren't opposing or similar, just two seemingly unrelated abilities from enemy colors. It's up to the players to find ways to highlight both abilities and bring out the full potential of these great cards. This element of creative deck building is my favorite part the game of magic!
