I don't know about this new art. Doesn't have the same impact when it isn't being swung over the head of a clearly ***ed-off elephant man.

The new art looks confused to me. Also, the warhammer itself looks less threatening when it's a short stubby stick as opposed to a long polearm. I do like the colors - the slight blue-gold tint.
Hard to argue with the card itself, though. Solid no matter how it's sliced.

I never played Loxodon Warhammer for the sole purpose that it had an elephant holding it up... NOW I CAN FINNALY PLAY THIS GREAT CARD!

At first I thought the hammer was hinged where the haft meets the head, but upon closer inspection that doesn't seem to make much sense. Someone explain to me what's going on here.

@EpitomeOfEvilness: The hammer is in the knight deck.
Loxodon Warhammer is very solid. I've been using it ever since I pulled it in a Mirrodin booster way back, and even today it rarely disappoints. As for the art, I would have liked to see a picture of a charging knight wielding the hammer and perhaps striking a foe or charging a dragon instead of a picture of a hammer smashing what looks like a stone wall. I like the colors though - purple-blue-ish go well with gold.

Art has way to much focus on "this hammer looks like an elephant" and not enough on "this hammer will destroy your enemies".

Look closely, guys. If you wondered that the shaft looked strange, wonder no more.
That's the frigging TRUNK he's holding. Hence the gnarliness.

How come they errated this "Whenever this creature deals damage you gain that much life" to lifelink, but they haven't errated any other "old lifelink" cards to lifelink?

A solid weapon, though at 6 mana a bit expensive to cast and equip.
If you have this equipped to a creature, and you have Concerted Effort in play, wouldn't all your creatures get trample?

@bijart_dauth: Doesn't bother me. Rating is subjective. I suspect that some people rated down Skullclamp for the same reason some people rated down Baneslayer Angel- both cards are offensively overpowered. Hell, Skullclamp is banned in basically everything except Commander and Vintage. I would rate it down just for that. The Warhammer, though, is just right. Best-in-class power at just the right casting cost.

I've never liked any of the art for the warhammer... but it's so powerful I'm forced to play it, when dross like the Ogre cleaver looks so much better

Verycard. Many battle I say, NO MR. Do not put the lay down the hammer; many tides of battle wore on. But the wielder of hammer, yes. You may undermine the estimates greatly, spout the words of what cost permanent great. But, great is card, as such. Now I have the hammer.

The only downside that its fairly costed for the amount of power this gives you.
This cards works well in the majority of creature decks, and very well with white and/or green. Very usable, and will probably always prove itself useful at least somewhat.

Why there is an i n s c r i p t i o n in this card? Don't those Elephants know what to do with Warhammer?

Either its made by loxodons, which would make it white-green flavor, or its made FROM loxodons, which would probably make it a very very black card. XD
Wins games everywhere. Even the lowliest 1/1 grows teeth with this hammer.

Sterling Grove has no effect on this, sadly. Also, lifelink doesn't stack: dillo cloak hasn't got lifelink...they're close...but one is defensive-minded and the other (this): not so much.

So let me get this straight... I can get lifelink, trample, and a power boost... in mono-blue?
Equip to a 1/1 flyer to make it a trampling double-strike Nighthawk (most of the time.)
I'd argue this is best in colors that have a hard time getting trample (and to a lesser degree, life gain); such as Blue or white. Put this on your Cloud of Faeries T3 with the help of high tide and you should be sitting pretty.

"Tusks to splinter skulls. Steel to shatter scale." —Warhammer inscríption
Hmm, I sure don't remember that inscríption on the original model. Probably because it didn't have tusks to begin with.

What is the flavor behind an elephant hammer giving creatures who wield it lifelink?
