It is strongest in matchups where opponents keep large hands and where your deck can reliably connect with one threatening creature.

Strengths and Considerations
The main strength of Sword of War and Peace is creating large life-total swings from a single combat trigger. The main consideration is its damage depends on the opponent’s hand size, which can make the output inconsistent. Testing Sword of War and Peace MTG proxy can help you decide whether it fits your Commander deck, cube, or casual playgroup.
