While you are right, that is why you play Jitte in Stoneblade. You dont even want a sword for those types of MU's. That is like wondering why Stoneblade runs Swords to Plowshares over Path to Exile in the Belcher match up. It is a useless argument. Stoneblade has Sword of FaF if they have any sword because it gives you the ability to walk past green dudes, because those are the MU's where the swords abilities are actually relevant.
If you want a white protection sword for the Maverick Match up neither of your options are very good. The WaP is terrible, and LaS is hardly relevant. Also A lot of stoneblade decks tend to run sometimes 2 mana Counterspell, and hell it gives you the ability later on in the game to equip, untap and hardcast your force of will.
This is correct. I run Jitte and Batterskull main with a SoFF in the board. Jitte does enough on its own against Folk and Goblins that SoFI isn't needed. SoFF is really good in the control and combo matchups, making the opponent discard while being able to keep up counterspell mana is really good.
