You can compare this with pre-nerf Rockbiter Weapon. It got nerfed because you would use it as removal or on windfury minions, notably Al'Akir the Windlord. Same problem with this card, except instead of windfury synergy it would be used with Upgrade! like the others have already mentioned.
Well as somebody already said in one of the threads the best way to nerf Axe is to leave it with 2 mana 3/2 but with text: Can't attack heroes. Problem solved. Control warrior doesn't use it for face anyway.
Or you know... blizzard could've just done this...
You completly missed the point of the nerf: Fiery War Axe was absolutly disruptive for every kind of early game, because it could remove anything. Not because it can go face, because that is still an "issue" of every weapon. It was simply too strong as a controlish tool.
I'm not saying that Blizzard did a good job with this nerf, they should have done something less disruptive and more intelligent like picking one in the tons of ideas here on Hearthpwn or on Reddit.
What thinks thee?
I like to make cards and discuss game balance.
I enjoy when "No similar decks were found."

Agreed with Murlocleader, Upgrade! is OP on this card. At best, I'd nerf it down to a 2/1 weapon.
I thought about a 1 mana 2/2, but yeah... upgrade.

For what profit is it to a man, if he gains the world and loses his own soul?
