To give Sword the best odds of winning, I would say: -Maximize count of Old Man and Old Woman. Leave it standing if a Runic Guardian just came down so you can swing into it after RG hits you for 4 dmg. RG is brutal in this matchup. -Try to set up a Ward before Rune's turn 4 to play around Falise, UNLESS you have control of the board. At that point, they have to worry about taking too much damage -ALWAYS play around Riko if you can
