Today, I am profoundly sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Indeed, the evil tyrant Ben 'Sauron' Brode has announced that Fiery War Axe will be nerfed to 3 mana.
It tuned from being one of the best weapons in the game to being a a powercreeped Magma Rager Tier card.
Ever since I started laddering in very early beta, Fiery War Axe has been a very polarizing card. Some hated it but all Warriors loved it. It was one free card, us Wallet Warriors, fancied in spite of not showing our wealth. When I grew exasperated of facing a 2/3 Undertaker during the Huntertaker meta, I would topdeck my good old Axe and end the suffering. When Tunnel Trogg was a 7/3 and bashing by lifepoints during Shamanstone; he was there for me. When that Northshire Cleric was drawing like a Nat Pagle from your opponent's Piloted Shredder, Fiery War Axe mysteriously appeared in my hand like a knight in shining armor. When double Mana Wyrms overdosed on meth mana, Dr. War Axe was the therapist that was needed. Huffer and Vicious Fledgling trembled in fear. On those days I felt like a Mulligan Wizard. It was glorious.
'Why is this crazy dude talking about a weapon using the 'he' pronoun like it was a living thing?' you may be asking yourselves. Well, Fiery War Axe, more than a weapon, was a friend; a companion to all Warrior players. Control, Molten Giants Warrior, Tempo Warrior, Dragon Warrior, Fatigue Warrior, Patron Warrior, Combo Warrior, C'Thun Warrior, RenoWarrior, N'Zoth Warrior and even the bastard rookier Pirate Warrior: all of us were united by out love for our dependable cutting tool. Why would Blizzard kill our friend during Druidstone? Warriors, excuding maybe Pirate Warrior, were already in a bad spot. And let's not talk about Warrior in Arena... Why beat a dead horse? This, we will never comprehend. Today is the end of an era. Our sorrow is ineffable. As we mourn our loss, we must not forget to one of the core tentants of warriorship: gratitude.
So for all those years we've spent alongside each other: THANK YOU. Long live the Axe. Today #JeSuisFieryWarAxe!
Swing twice to pay respects!
*Swing Swing* (Paying respects) on the other hand, I am not effected I main mage and hunter.
Dicks out for war axe
OMG, I can't believe it took me two reads to notice the 3-3-2 rare pattern in the weapons displayed here. This feels so unfair now!
I may not play Warrior often, and I may hate Pirate Warrior, but my thoughts go out to ALL Warriors in their time of need. I know that I, along with my many Grim Patrons here, will miss you, and we wish you the best of luck in the pace beyond life, Fiery War Axe. *Swings twice, and places hand on heart as the National Anthem plays*
"O-oh, say, can you see? By the screen's palish light,
What so proud-ly we flailed, At Anduin's last Cleric
Whose broad blade and low cost, Could sustain through the fight
Our Con-trol Warrior decks, When the battles got hectic.
And the Wyrms' dark glare! Mad Bombers bursting in air,
Gave proof through the deck, That our Axe was still there.
Oh, say, does that Fiery War Axe yet swing,
O'er the land of the tier, And the Standard Ranked play!"
*swings twice*
If it's any consolation, Warrior is my least favored class (even before Pirates) yet I will still miss the good ol' 2 mana 3/2.
I don't even play Warrior lol . . .
Never forgive, never forget
*swings twice*
"Hell, its about time!"
Tychus Findlay.
This is the best thing that could happen to this expansion. Finally the backwards striving Pirate Warriors will have to try something new.
ya....and it also killed the Warrior class as a whole with it
F
We should all boycott using the nerfed version of Fiery War Axe. That way blizzard will know they fucked up big time :)
Nah, that's how they will measure their success
If we still use it that means it was a suitable nerf, if no one uses it that means it was a terrible nerf
Thank you pirate warrior
R,I.P
Amen bro
I remember grinding to lvl 49 warrior just so I could play golden war axe because I thought it looked so sick. You will be missed old friend.
Also, that was the most poetic thing I've ever read. (swings twice)
