Farraki Battleaxe

Farraki Battleaxe is a rare paladin weapon card, from the Rastakhan's Rumble set.

Strategy
Farraki Battleaxe is a new card to add to Paladin's arsenal of "handbuff" effects, which use cards such as Glowstone Technician to amplify the power of other cards such as Paragon of Light. You could choose to use all of its Attack without Overkill, for a respectable 9 damage in total, or "waste" some damage in exchange for buffing minions in your hand.

You should be careful when combining it with Sword of Justice. It is well adviside to use the Axe first, but sometimes, you will not be able to use its Overkill.

Handbuffs are specially strong with Adapt cards.

Be sure to play out minions which you don't want to buff before attacking, to increase your chances of buffing a more desirable target.

Works well with Drygulch Jailor and a Silverhand focused deck.
