{{Infobox artifact |image=Sword of Body and Mind.jpg |origin=[[New Phyrexia (plane)|New Phyrexia]] |status=Uncertain }} The '''Mirran swords''' are a [[mega-mega cycle]] of [[mythic rare]] [[card]]s featuring [[Equipment]] [[artifact]]s. ==Description== Each sword has mana cost {{3}}, provides +2/+2, [[protection]] from two [[color]]s, has a [[triggered ability]] that triggers when the sword's equipped [[creature]] deals combat damage to a [[player]], and [[equip]]s for {{2}}. The sword's triggered ability will offer two effects that come from the same two colors that the sword gives its equipped creature protection against. The allied-protection swords are granted more synergistic abilities, though weaker on the rate. ===History=== At first, the swords were released across sets that featured [[New Phyrexia (plane)|Mirrodin and New Phyrexia]] and offered protection from [[enemy color]]s.<ref>{{DailyRef|arcana/history-swords-2011-01-24|A History of Swords|[[Monty Ashley]]|January 24, 2011}}</ref> Swords featuring [[allied color]]s started being released with ''[[Modern Horizons]]'', with three being in supplementary sets and the last two being from Phyrexian sets ''[[Phyrexia: All Will Be One]]'' and ''[[March of the Machine]]''. Some swords have been reprinted in the [[Masters series]], in [[Masterpiece Series]], and even as [[judge]] [[promotional card]]s. While many different versions of [[art]] have been created for various swords, [[Chris Rahn]] has created artwork for the first eight swords in the series, and was the original artist for six of them. {| class="wikitable sortable" !

Like the Mirran swords, it gives +2/+2, gives protection from two creature types (instead of colors), has a triggered effect on combat damage to a player, and has an equip cost of 2. It was even illustrated by Chris Rahn. *The [[Unknown Event/Minneapolis event cards|Minneapolis Unknown Event playtest card]] <c>Sword of Fire and Ice and War and Peace</c> is a "team up" of the cards <c>Sword of Fire and Ice</c> and <c>Sword of War and Peace</c>.<ref name="Unknown Minn">{{YouTubeRef|r7uk8A4k3wo|Emrakul & Chatterfang!?

However, it does not give +2/+2 or protection from any colors. *<c>Sword of Wealth and Power</c> is another sword, granting instead protection from instants and sorceries. ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Artifacts]][[Category:cards]]
