Sword of Seeds and Sulfer  {3}
Artifact - Equipment
Equipped creatures gets +2/+2 and protection from green and red.
Whenever equipped creature deals combat damage to a player, you may put target card from your graveyard on top of your library, and then may have each player sacrifice a permanant.
Equip:  {2}

Just like SoFI, it has two 1cc spell effects. However, they function very well together to make a sort of one-sided Smokestack. It also can be used like Crucible with Strip effects. Too broken? I think it's what aggro needs to be strong again in T1.5/T1.

My principle concern with this card is whether it leads to us "needing" to create seven more such swords to represent all of the colour pairs.  I liked the ideas that were being discussed with regards to a Sword of (pro green/pro artifact), but I'm not sure I like the scope of this card.  Why, for example, should there be two swords that grant protection from red?

Did you know that Red is the color or art and music and passion? Combine that with Green, the color of nature, spiritualism, and community and you get a hippie commune of drum circles, dreamcatchers, and recreational drug use. Let's see that win a Pro Tour.

Well technically, one other allied sword would be fine. I use GR, so you could make UB or UW. There are two enemy color swords, so you'd need two allied color swords.

I think the original set was pretty novel, but staying true to the Sword of ColorWord and ColorWord is pretty limiting.  What about:

Sulfurous Scythe - {2}
Artifact - Equipment
Equipped creature gets +2/-1
Whenever equipped creature deals combat damage, each player sacrifices a permanent.
Equip {2}
