Axe

Axe is a 2-mana Attack card that deals 45 damage to multiple enemies and applies Knockback. As a multi-target attack at cost 2, it offers consistent AoE damage and enemy displacement, functioning as both an offensive card and a crowd-control tool.

• Damage: 45 to multiple enemies + Knockback
• Mana Cost: 2
• Color: Red (Attack)

Combine Axe with any Candle card to evolve it into Death Spiral. The evolved form significantly expands the knockback radius and increases damage, becoming a powerful area-denial card. Candle-type cards are easy to include in any deck, making this evolution accessible.

• Candle cards: Evolution material that also provides useful standalone effects, fitting naturally into most builds.
• Knockback amplification arcana: Any effect that strengthens knockback multiplies Axe's crowd-control value.
• Cost-2 combo rung: Fits cleanly as the third step (0 → 1 → 2) in standard mana-staircase combos.

Universal. Best suited to crowd-control-focused builds and those aiming for Death Spiral evolution.

Cost-2 AoE attacker and crowd controller. Handles multiple enemies simultaneously while keeping them at bay.

Reliable AoE at its cost. Rises to A Tier when targeting Death Spiral evolution.
