Hello ladies and gents! It's Axii here. As you may or may not know, I am a War main player and it was an Aggro War deck that got me into Mythic recently. War is pretty strong at the moment and Slayer is probably among the best god powers in the game right now.
However, of all things, it's the relics that I'm extremely interested in, not just War ones but all the other gods as well. Therefore, I would like to make a personal tier list of all weapon cards from the domain, and I'd like to listen to everyone's ideas and comments on the list that I'm about to share.
Tiers explanation
Tier S: The best tier for War. Relics in this tier are the most effective ones: usually play for their full value or would be useful at many stages within a game. They don't need too much setup and don't rely on other cards to be playable.
Tier A: These are good relics that see a lot of play just like those from tier S. These weapons are strong and can carry the game in some scenarios, but not "that good" compared to the upper ones.
Tier B: Tier B relics are okay. You probably get some value dropping them down onto the board. However, they either (1) require specific conditions/setup to be value-wise effective or (2) not easily accessible (mostly because of high mana)
Tier C: Relics in this tier are awkward. They shine in very few situations or require lots of setups to shine. At the same time, the value they produce isn't too amazing to be worth playing.
Tier D: These cards are not worth playing. There are either (1) better options for them in the relics pool or (2) extremely hard to get value from or even (3) not fit in War as a domain.
And here's the list!
FYI, I have not played with every single one of the mentioned relics. In fact, I own roughly half of these cards, and it's quite hard to the others into their tiers just by reading their card text.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the tier list and explanations on what tier a relic should/should not be in. It's always good to have a healthy discussion with others to have the best conclusion on a topic like tier lists. Feel free to have such discussion in the comments!

I would say Scythes is either better than or at least equal to Blade of Styx
I understand your point. Now that I've heard some ideas from people it's fair to put Styx down to tier A with the Scythes.
Magic Missile Launcher needs to be in a tier of its own 😂 It's really busted, you pay 1 more mana to deal an extra 2 + 2 damage, and you get to heal. The worst thing about it is how inaccessible it is in terms of cost and there not being any close replacements at all. I've only ever seen it backfire once when I played a relic removal card, but other than that it's just way too hard to deal with. Styx, on the other hand, is great but nowhere near the power level of MML IMO 😂
Your point on MML being on its own tier makes sense. I've gathered some opinions on that and people seem to agree with you as well. And for the Blade of Styx, as an Aggro War player, I might be a little biased to put it in tier S too, haha! Thanks for your comments.
