A better comparison would be with longsword, or longbow/gavel.  There's no reason you'd use this over one of those.  I like the idea, it's just too underpowered.

[AnonymousRevival]

It's a bit underpowered really.......it can only do 40+ damage before it can be useless and it has to go through several turns to do it.

Trollball is trolling Brawl Card Designers~
Also, IIRC Gram is an alias for Balmung.

Sometimes it is, other times they are two different swords, with Gram being discarded for Balmung. Also called Nothung and Balmus.

Any advice to make it not so UP?

Have the upgraded do 8/9 damage?

Done! 8 attack now.

I actually find this card a little broken. Don't forget that poison counters are actually healing you under the influence of SoSac and in Shardless meta a / deck with Grams, Physalias and Purifies can be devastating. Don't forget Gram can bypass DR shields than an Arsenic can't and 6 damage per turn for 2 is too cheap for unupped meta. However, this idea is awesome imo, though it needs a little rebalancing (imo, it just needs a playing cost of 3 ).

^ It's perfectly fine, in fact I think it should do more damage; 7|9 or even 7|10.

7 damage for 2 in unupped meta? 9 or 10 damage for 2 in upped meta? Are you sure? Flying weapon rush anyone...

You can already do that with Adrenastaves, and Arsenic (just those two for example). I don't see a problem with this one.
