Neat, but I still don't see Dragon Hunter being a thing. The payoff for running dragons in Hunter just doesn't seem good enough, especially the number of dragons needed to make the extra durability more than just +1. I end up hating this card not because I don't like the design, but because it's a damn Hunter card. Why on earth is the STORMHAMMER not a Shaman card? STORM and HAMMER are some of the most Shaman words I can think of and have literally nothing to do with Hunter. It's just a massive flavor miss for me.
I posted a general comment on the card to note flavor, but wanted to share that while I agree that the name sounds odd, the actual weapons, per Warcraft lore, are the famous weapons attributed to the flying Wildhammer Dwarves, who are generally classless, but I'd argue skew hunter, if only from their wild natures and deep bonds with their gryphon beasts.
Looks pretty good for a kind of mid-range Hunter deck. Is there anything that can boost weapon attack damage in standard? Even if not, for value (and damage) over time, this seems pretty solid in any deck carrying dragons.
Why is this a hunter weapon and not a shaman weapon? It feels weird for hunters to have a hammer as a weapon, especially one with a lightning effect. Loudly smashing things with lightning doesn't really help all that much when hunting something. They could have made it a stormspear instead, which would have also made it a cooler weapon in general in my opinion.

Climbing now, but still too low (3.1). Eaglehorn Bow is a strong Arena card with no secrets, but with even a slight chance of going infinite is nuts.
Op weapon...in other class. In hunter probably can't be played :/
wait since when hunters can use hammers
if it can go face, it's a hunter's weapon
i can't argue with that.
A hammer for hunter?

I've been playing a Dragon Hunter deck in Wild since RoS. I will definitely take a look at my list and try and fit this card in there.

now look to fiery war axe...
I was going to make that joke, but then realized how many other 3 mana 3/2 weapons there are :o
And all of them are better than Fiery War Axe. Honestly, can't say that I miss it. Pirate Warrior flashbacks still give me nightmares.
Pirate Warrior? 90s kids remember the old Control Warrior, or as he was more commonly known "your turn 2-3 don't matter"
They obviously have to be better. If they weren't, something would be very very wrong :D
Kobold Stickyfinger looking better and better
I love this weapon and I love the card you mentioned.
