This runeword can be made only on Ladder but it is obtainable on Non-Ladder via trade because all Ladder characters convert to NLD after reset. There are no Ladder-only runewords in D2R, you can make everything on NLD.

Diablo 2 Meditation Aura Icon Insight grants level 12-17 Meditation when equipped (Paladin aura usable by any class). It gives 575-700% mana recovery (+25% per level), which makes it extremely difficult to run out of mana even if you are spamming your abilities.
Diablo 2 Critical Strike Icon Insight grants +1-6 to Critical Strike (Amazon passive usable by any class). It gives 16-46% chance to deal double physical damage (56-63% at level 10-15). It will not stack with Deadly Strike (DS) as only one of those effects can trigger but having high % of both, gives you a higher chance of dealing double damage most of the time.
You can learn more about game mechanics behind those abilities in our game guide.

Cryptic Axe (CA) vs Colossus Voulge (CV):
They have the same Attack Speed and nearly the same average damage. Cryptic Axe has lower Strength required, which allows your merc to wear it on a much lower level (without Andy or other Strength items) and better melee range, but Act 2 Merc has a fixed range of 3 despite of the equipped weapon.
