Strategy

Due to the four effects of the card, it`s a powerful card to play at any stage of the game, but is weak in stats and needs buffing up to be really impactful.. As a majority of its strength comes from effects, it is extremely susceptible to Silence and having Taunt makes it vulnerable as you can`t use other taunt minions to protect it. The fact that it has both Windfury and Charge gives it great damage output the turn it`s played if combined with Flametongue Totem or Rockbiter Weapon and can be used to trade against multiple minions or as a finisher.

Trivia

  • Al`Akir ("☧♄☣☮♊☱" in Arabic, more correctly transliterated as al-’akhÅr) means "The Last One".
Be that as it may, when the developers examined the alpha`s backend stats, Al`Akir was found to in fact have the highest win rate of any legendary in the game at that time. The developers therefore realised that the card was simply under-appreciated, and quickly reverted the planned changes to the card, avoiding making "a pretty terrible mistake". This was the first time the developers used "hard data" to inform balance changes.
