I don't understand this card. It clearly should be controlish alternative for Thrall, Deathseer, but it benefits the very same playstyle - play a lot of minions to get value. Whereas Thrall gives you a huge board immedietaly, Hagatha the Witch gives you okaish boardclear and random spells late in the game. In minion centric decks Thrall is just better, in true control decks I usually run more spells in the first place.
I was gonna make a thread about this actually, to bring back memories of Ben and the other guy being surprised at how OP this card was lol. I actually haven't even seen it against myself yet.
In a tempo battlecry deck featuring Shudderwock (especially as more cards get released), I feel like Hagatha will find its place. It just needs more support (which is how I feel about a lot of cards in this expansion haha, which isn't necessarily a bad thing).

Hi I'm gamer and blogger you can search me by nick: WhiteHexangu or matek1207 (old one ><). I've done guides in League (Gnar and Jhin - mobafire) and Hearthstone (Malygos Rogue - hearthown). I play Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, Overwatch, Diablo III, Warcraft III and League of Legends.
If you go Mid-Range the hero tends to fill your hand with loads of weak-situational spells up to the point of making you overdraw. Especially in Elemental Shaman this is a huge risk with minions such as Fire Fly, Mana Tide Totem or Servant of Kalimos. In Murloc Shaman it's pretty good but that deck is just inferior to Murloc Paladin (especially when running Unite the Murlocs. Overall I'm not very impressed with it... but that could be more down to the class spell pool rather than Hagatha the Witch.
Why not a heavy death rattle minion deck? things that summon more minions, go back to the hand, transfer benefits and heal? plus a couple in deck hexes and healing rains and volcanoes? conceptualizing....
I love Hagatha in my Elemantal Shaman deck. It has won alot of matches for me. If the rng is with you. Hagatha can win games. And turn the game for you quite nice. And her AOE dmg is a nice boardclear.
In what world? The card has slowly but surely been included in every shaman deck since the nerfs. Amazing in even shaman and common in shudderwock shaman. Provides board clear and provides value that's sometimes enough to even outvalue control decks. The amount of healing, aoe, and single target removal this card can give is so clutch.
I have a golden Hagatha so I try my best to use her whenever possible. Between her and my Shudderwock deck, I think Hagatha has slightly more value and higher win condition -- just slightly. Because while her battlecry (which is pretty strong) pales in comparison to what you can craft out of Shudderwock's, the steady hand refill of shaman spells can sometimes make the difference. She is outclassed by DKs like Jaina and Gul'dan too easily, but not too shabby against slower decks like DK Rexxar or Thrall (the latter whom Hagatha has outclassed as the staple playable Hero). She'll probably get stronger with upcoming expansions, growing Even Shaman decks.
we should see the next expansions to criticise this card. I believe it has the potencial to be a great card. Mind that blizzard created at Witchwood only this DK card so i expect to be more effective.

It's already pretty darn good.

I still haven't faced this card once.

It's tier one on the crafting guide btw
Huh? Explain.
