I'm going to rant about Swordcraft from the perspective of an illiterate person (Swordcraft Player)
I fucking hate 2 out of 3 of its legos. I've been doing mental gymnastics to myself to prove that Kagemitsu is worse than Novice Trooper. Everytime I play, he does nothing and dies (The Point). He doesn't really manage to do anything until you can mega-evolve him. I guess he is a late game stormer for 3 and evo. But if you're playing him from hand, then Novice Trooper can also just hit face for the same amount of damage and is not conditional on the mega-evolve. I miss her.
You can deadass play approximately-ish the same deck if you just up your copies of Centaur to make up for Albert. He does more damage unevolved, the same with evo, and 1 less with mega-evolve. Albert can be played on curve for a bit of extra damage if needed, but mostly his greatest value is his ability fleece your opponents through small wards (for 1 more mana and probably evo.) I also thinks its lame that he does mostly the same shit he's been doing for years.
6 drop bitch and me are tight though. Better than Avant Blader in terms of economy and offers much needed protection for an mega-evo.
I get that Sword can kill you 11-12 at 8-9 but this is just Midrange Sword again with shittier Royal Banner plus Albert. I played against Haven on ladder, and the qol improvements early Haven look awesome. Lots of the crafts look like significantly more fun compared to earlier Shadowverse.
I tried to play "Control" Sword and had a blast. Luminous Mage, 8 drop gold bitch, sniper man, hounds and the furry are lot of fun. It sucks, but I grinded through a every possible thing nu-d-shift can throw at you and it was some of the most fun I've had with sword. Midrange is still better. Bring my man Leonidas back. Hell, reprint PtP (but not Altered Fate)
