Just opened my second legendary:  Al'akir

He was also my second. He's pretty good. I use him when I play Shaman as my expensive drop. He's best when you can combo him with a Rockbiter of flametongue, where he will easily go 2 for 1 with large minions or do tons of face damage. Otherwise he's weaker but can still be a significant threat.
Yeah.  He seems pretty good, but not essential.  Seeing as I already play a lot of Shaman, I was pretty happy with getting him

I think pre-Nax, the best Shaman decks had Al'Akir, but I don't know if you really want him now. I think the better style of Shaman is now going for Bloodlust with Eggs and Creepers, where you don't really want an 8 drop. Then again, maybe there's some sort of charge+Reincarnate kind of deck to be made which likes Al'Akir...

I think Reincarnate/Ancestral Spirit shenanigans are better with Leeroy, since you can play Leeroy + 3 of those cards in one turn. Al'Akir is too expensive to combo reliably with things.

Disclaimer: My main deck is a Shaman deathrattle deck which doesn't have Al'Akir because I don't own it

I'm not sure why he'd suddenly be bad. Because of the good low cost nax drops?

I don't mean that he's bad now. I meant that other types of Shaman decks that don't want him are stronger, so he may no longer be in the "best" Shaman deck. I'm sure all the old popular tempo Shaman decks that had him before are still fine, but there's probably better stuff now, imo.

I was just playing against a Priest and wondering why he's playing aggro Priest. Turns out they were actually cards from my deck.  ::)

Time to stop playing.

Bomb, Cannon, and many of the Gunpowder cards can strongly effect gameplay, particularly in a destructive way

I swear, if I get smacked by Lightwell--Divine Spirit--Inner Fire one more time, I'm gonna strangle some priests.

Just relish in the fact that you were their first win in 10 games.

So I just started a hunter arena.  I played misdirection and my opponent attacked me for lethal, it misdirected onto themselves rather than either of my 2 minions and killed them :)

Has anyone ever gone through the trouble to activate an angry chicken? Even against the innkeeper? And would it even help? Like, Magma Rager seems more productive.

Yes, a guy has done that to me, the precise way. And won. Might have been arena.

I took it in arena once. I was Druid with some Marks and a Mad Bomber in my deck I believe. I activated it once, but it got blown up immediately iirc. Don't remember the run being particularly successful either so I can't say I'd recommend it except for the satisfaction of doing it.

Got the 1000 win quest today, which was a pleasant surprise, and a bit of an unpleasant reminder.

It's one of the hidden quests, like the one for getting every hero to level 10, or entering your first arena. You get 300 gold when you win your 1000th game.

Ah, you mean achievement, I believe.  Congrats.

I just played a game in which my Knife Juggler threw three knives over two turns, and those three knives hit an Angry Chicken and a Leeroy. Is this a dream?
