Check the wikia for the stats weapons have when made creatures. And remember: A flying titan= a 8/70 creature.

A strong card, staple of just about any deck.
Turns your own weapon into a creature, which opens up another slot to play a weapon! Or even boost your new 'creatures' damage.

I know! it makes you want to cry tears of joy... Eispeccialy when you can make copies of that creature (using  :aether) and than target it with chaos seed and it makes another copy! That happened with jade staff to me once...

When you protect a weapon then fly it, its not immortal. Seems like it should be. Is this a bug or a feature?

A feature. Protect Artifact is just that - Protect ARTIFACT. Flying Weapon "turn(s) your weapon into a creature"; it has lost its status as an artifact. Thus, it loses its protected status because it no longer pertains to the animated weapon.

Additionally, it would be waaay too cheap :P

this card is generaly only useful if you make a deck around weapons. can be used in other decks, but not as efficiently.

This card, in my opinion, is the most creatively put to use card in the entire game.  :air for life.

It would be extremely useful if FW/AW would be playable even if there is no weapon in my weapon slot. I've ended up quite a few times recently where I wanted to draw an extra card but wasn't able to because my hand was full. I wanted to, but could not get rid of AW, since it can only be played if you have a weapon. Thus I was forced not to draw an extra card (as I couldn't play any other than AW due to low quanta), and than discard AW at the end of the turn.

I would rather choose to
  • pay the casting cost of AW (and play it without use) AND draw an extra card, than
  • discard AW AND not being able to draw an extra card
This is somewhat similar to the problem of not being able to cast a Firestorm on your own creatures.

Is there any chance that these might change in the near future?

On a related note, if you should happen to click this card accidentally (i.e. when you have no weapon in hand), you still lose the quantum cost.
