@ZeroSheep only if you're Dimir.
Slap this baby on a Boros (like Boros Swiftblade, or Skyknight Legionnaire, or -- huhuhuhuhahahahaha -- Boros Recruit), then play Concerted Effort and you have a full fleet with "Protection from Brightflame, no matter how much mana it's charged with!

It's been interesting watching the price of Sword of War and Peace compared to Sword of Feast and Famine. Feast and Famine was dominant pre-Innistrad, when decks were more about the slow roll and control. With Innistrad, once faster tempo decks with evasive creatures started dominating, War and Peace jumped in price and Feast and Famine has fallen a bit. (Also important is the fact that decks like Delver, as aggro-control, hold a fair number of cards in their hands, meaning the life gain is relevant.) Of course they're both still great, but I'm just happy I happened to invest in two of this little gem back in the $17 days. =)

Went ahead and bought two of these along with a few packs. Pulled a third in the pack. ^^

aside: quick props to Sgt Swagger--courtesy links to other cards in a cycle are always among my favorite comments!
Anyhow, this card being ~$35-45 shows just how silly and clueless people who mock the "Dies to removal!" criticism are. This card is all about giving your creature evasion and removal-resistance!

I just bought a copy of this card, my first ever "Sword of X and Y". Going to use it in my Damia EDH deck as a source of lifegain (which the deck lacks, but Sword giving potential 7 a swing) but also because of a prevalence of mono-y Red decks in my area. Personally I think War and Peace is the best of the Scars swords and am glad to have one!

Not nearly as exciting as the other swords, but still good.
3.8/5

I love putting this on Kor Duelist, the reaction when you can swing at your opponent and tell them "oh yeah 12 damage and I gain 10" is priceless. Great card my favorite of the swords 4.5/5
