Lol i thought it only affects 1 creature when i voted... as it affects all of your opponents creatures, I would say that it shouldn't stack as this would provide you with a much too easy way of shutting most decks down.

I like the idea of it being a weapon which can sort of act as a shield

Technology is elemental and magical in the world of elements, your image doesn't suit.

Could try this image.

The text needs to be smarter.
How about?

"Weapon: Deals 3 Damage.
 :air :air :air Burn: opposing creatures suffer -2|-1 for 2 turns"

Burned Status can be a Flame Bauble that goes half size the turn it is to wear off.

Okay, a few things:

First off - nice image update. The art reminds me of a Fire Elemental being just spewing flames from his mouth onto your creatures, which must hurt like hell. :)

With the card itself, DON'T make it stack - considering that -2 | -1 is a 'status' effect, having it 'stack' would mean that you're either a) killing it (making it like a special version of Sniper from Eagle's Eye, and b) would cause low attack creatures to obtain -attack values (which would make it work like a form of antimatter, which doesn't make sense).

Actually, would this card drop a creature with 0 or 1 Attack to -2 or -1 attack, thus healing you if they attacked? Or not? Either way, the card is a nice idea, but I think Flamethrower feels a little bit odd to place in the Elements Game as a weapon. I keep on thinking of the artillery weapon, which doesn't quite fit still...

Maybe a name change? Fire Breathing? I have no objections to the name as it is, as long as the imagery matches Elements theme.

Attack value when lowered by Burn can't go under 0, and ability don't stack. After few thoughts it would be clearly stupid ;).
EDIT:
Maybe something like Fire Breather would fit into this image and elements??
