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!
They could of done SOOOO many different things to nerf this but instead just killed it and made it completely useless... they didn't even try.
*swings twice*
*Swings Twice*
I personally guarantee I will never run King's Defender out of respect for our fallen companion :(
press "f" to pay respects *fucking cries and absolutely punches 50000000000000000000000000000 holes into the f button*
BTW I AM THE ABSOLUTE BIGGEST LOVER OF WARRIOR AND I CRIED WHEN I FOUND OUT THEY WERE NERFING THE CARD
*laughs in Hunter*
*Swings twice*

The problem is not THAT they nerfed Fierey War Axe, but how they did it. I even think this card can still be played, but its so lazy and lame
*swings twice*
*swings twice*
I want my Northshire Cleric killer on turn 2 (or 1 with coin) back :(
*swings twice* for all the warriors and warrior decks except fkin pirates
*Swings Twice*
*Swings twice*
Ah, finally.

one of the worst nerfs in HS history. not that i generally disagree with nerfing this card, but there were better options to do it.
also, i don't get Ben Brodes reasoning. the only other nerf option he compared this to, was to make it 2 attack. they must have considered giving the axe "can't attack heroes", right? that would have been the perfect change imo. and i don't even get how they prefer a manacost change, due to it being "less disruptive". every nerf is disruptive, but even the most stupid players get used to it after a week or so. this should not be the priority for nerfs.
I bid thee farewell. You will not be missed.
winter is here *swing twice*
Should run upgrade for extra swings
RIP in peace war axe
