I've always wondered why Sword of Feast and Famine (SoFF) was used. Of the swords available in legacy, SoFF seems like it's in the lower tier for this archetype. There are no real abilities to take advantage of the extra mana and you already have enough discard. Why not...

...Fire and Ice which saves you removal and draws you cards.
...Light and Shadow which re-buys dead creatures (honestly the life is usually negligable) and give you protection from Swords.
...Body and Mind which gives you an alternate win condition and leaves blockers for people swinging back.

It seems that all of the other swords offer more to this archetype than SoFF. So, my question is simply, "Why?" I'm honestly interested in the answer as I can't justify it myself.
