And they would suck. You don't add strength to that damage

It's superior to a wraith sword if your commander has less than 3 more strength than the protection of the units he is facing. Depending on your enemies, 12 damage will be enough to kill them in one hit anyways. It also never misses, so you don't have to worry about missing an Allfather running around with air 9 and a defense score in the 30's. Plus, you'd get two of them for each wraith sword at that cost.

And against lifeless units you lose all of the time, period, end of story.

Well, except for a few cases, most lifeless units are best dealt with via a charcoal shield. No amount of life drain is ever going to help you there.
