The Sword is the first card you will ever see when you play the game, and for good reason: it demonstrates the most simple concept of cards giving different results depending on what dice you use on them.

It is not a very good card - many other cards (such as Hammer, Venus Fly Trap, and Ultima Weapon/Buster Sword) do exactly what Sword does but with an added bonus, and the +1 upgrade is rather weak since Sword is not reusable.
