I Have Al'Akir In Core I Hope I Get It In Classic Too

This Was My First Legendary

Did you know that ( Al'Akir ) is an Arabic name and it's mean ( The Last One ) ? 

Never knew that :)

Makes sense to name him that since there haven't been any Windlords since him.

Thunderaan tho

I just opened the golden Al'Akir the Windlord! Lovely add for my elemental shaman deck, very happy :D

After the rockbiter nerf this should have been changed to 7 mana. Still, a good, underrated card.

this would be good if he had lifesteal instead of taunt

"THANKS FOR THE INCENSE"

"LIKE SWATTING INS- LIKE SWATTING INSECTS!"

I feel like they should remove taunt on him (he only deals 3 to minions that attack him, which is nothing at turn 8 and further), and then buff him by lowering his mana cost and giving him overload, which I think would fit it as the shaman legendary, considering other classic set legendaries also often focus on something specific for that class (Choose effect for druid, enrage for warrior, powerful offensive spells for mage, etc.). It would also help making him combo with Rockbiter Weapon better again if it was 6 mana overload 2/3 for example, making him a solid late game finisher if you would not play him on turn 6 for tempo.

Personally I never had a reason to include this one into any Shaman deck. But now because of Servant of Kalimos, there is a decent chance of discovering this one and then having Flametongue Totem already on board, Al'Akir the Windlord makes a decent choice for play.

this guy is like an alternative in elemental shaman decks

if you want to get more damage to enemies you can put this card but why would you put this instead of Kalimos,Primal Lord

Biggest thing going for him is that you can use the other two mana to Rockbiter or Flametongue. Other than that, the keyword king himself isn't much more than a novelty. I can understand them not wanting to print a reasonably powerful charge/windfury minion because that could be a disaster, but then again Shaman is notorious for their disgusting burst damage. Al'Akir is basically Diet Doomhammer.

STILL way too weak, even for the elemental shaman package

 a shame

it was a fun card

Baron Rivendaire Ancestral Spirit Reincarnate shenanigans never get old!

I got al'akir in my arena deck, and he has been closing games like crazy for me. I also swear he says "you f<*%!$@ insect" on attack. Great card thumbs up.

Getting this as your first legendary is pretty damn demoralizing...

i was thinking about crafting him for this deck particular:
