It's not that old. Look at Blessing and then we can talk.

This guy will set you up nice in casual multiplayer to keep fools off your back without drawing out removal.

I'm trying to picture this in combat from a flavor perspective. Do birds, drakes, and angels just fly headfirst into the sword wall? o_O

seems nice in limited control, pretty thick and sturdy wall.

This and Traumatize in the core set? Is anyone else reminded of the W/U mill deck Jace had in the first Duels of the Planeswalkers at all?

Drakes, birds, and angles are stupid like that.

@Totema, is Alpha rare older than Alpha uncommon?

You've come a long way, Wall of Swords. Still well-costed.

The M14 printing's flavor text("When I said we needed more swords to protect the realm, this was not quite what I had in mind.") is my favorite, I mean, it's just FUNNY.

Two decades later, I still don't understand why a wall of swords flies. Guess that's why it's called Magic.

You know how long it takes to build a wall of swords? Well it take a long time having to place each sword on top of each other hoping it wont fall and kill you. Then someone just who has a blade'o'doom just cuts it. That just is a waste of time. No body has time for time for that. A single blade cut all your swords, so unfair.

Other way around.
