Hey,

So, a couple months ago I bought some micro-sword for my 5g, and this was in the bunch that they gave me. Anyone have any ideas?

That's a lower light foreground plant. The names slips my mind, something minuta. Water clover. It'll look like a taller glossostigma once it settles.
 
There are several different Marsilea species currently in the hobby, most notably quadifolia and minuta, of which yours most resembles the former. Quadrifolia has four leaves when grown submerged whereas minuta will only have one. There are about a half dozen other less common but extremely similar species, so an exact ID is difficult. Marsilea quadrifolia would be as good a name as any.
