Kibler removed the Swords from his deck. I think this is wrong (at least if you are facing up against Valakut and Eldrazi Green and GW Aggro more frequently than Cawblade, which i do). As far as my own testing goes, the Sword is totally awesome. 5 mana for sword equip too much? No, because you untap your lands almost always when equipping Crusader.
