Have a few questions about this one.
1) As was mentioned in the thread I responded to this is weird to be in Harsk's deck because not only is it elite but its a strength/melee weapon.
2) In addition to that its a strength/melee weapon that requires dex/range to acquire.
These two things together make me thing something must have changes right before printing. Unless maybe that finesse keyword will somehow explain it.
There are several weapons that are only distingushed from others by having the finesse keyword.
