Why ? Why ? What's the stats when flying?
This was designed to be exactly like the card Hammer | Gavel currently in the game. I just needed a weapon for fire and entropy.
An axe just seemed to say
and
to me more than other weapons...
That said, I have no problem making it less vanilla if people think it should be, but I want it to remain a non-rare "Other" type weapon so any deck can make use of it, not just fire and entropy, so it will work with Martial Training.
