I agree with Weretarrasque, the extra 2 mana you pay over Serra Angel is definitely not worth the 1 extra power and toughness.

Serra Angel is better, even though this looks cooler

I think it would sound rather silly to sing your sword's name with every strike. Imagine Gandalf doing that: "Glamdriiiing! Glamdriihiing! Glaahaamdring!"

Actually kazenpaus, while Gandalf might not have done that, I could totally see Bilbo do it. STING! I am the Spider's Bane! STING, Attercop! Fly you lazy lobs, from STING!
Also, I believe there was a man from the Second Age known for killing lots of Trolls who was cited as writing a short verse he cried out every time he killed one.
Oh, Anduril Flame of the West? Yeah I would DEFINITELY sing that name in battle. :)
The trick is, don't just shout/sing the name of the sword- figure out a nice complete sentence for it ;)
The card itself is one I would STILL run today- remember folks: In a proper deck, you can win on the back of a 1/1 Goblin that enters the battlefield tapped. If you kill, counter, maim, destroy, exile, bomb, blast, wrath, mill, discard, and otherwise obliterate every other card the opponent plays. 20-turn clock! (Note: you might not be friends anymore after doing this to someone, but it WILL work! ;D)

Back as an uncommon in Avacyn Restored! Is going to be a beater in limited, but not much more...

@DarthParallax : I guess you are thinking of Hurin at the Battle of Unnumbered Tears (in the first age).
He shouted "Day shall come again!" whenever he slayed.

Because of the insufferable 'singing your sword's name with each strike if you're an angel' rule, angel's swords usually have names like "Haaaa", "Hyaaa" or "Dieeeeee".

@ Wulfsten "Printed today, this would cost 3W."
Or they could print it at uncommon... That's cool too.

At least it looks cool.
