I am considering crafting Hakkar also. Would like to know the same thing. Is he fun in the paladin and priest decks? Druid Hakkar does not look that interesting to me.
The deck does sound fun, but imo Lynessa is not a good substitute for Hakker at all. Hakkar completely counters Mecha'thun decks and many other combo decks, Lynessa is useless in those situations.
Are u gonna hold on to those cards The entire game just to counter it. People play Hakkar when most of there deck is gone or opponent has not a lot of cards
And you run prelates as well which are really scary if you do not silence them. Im just wondering about the equality nerf, since i suppose that hurts vs. Decks like even lock, even pally and tempo rouge
I've played a few different versions if it since I found it pretty fitting with the cardback. Overall, I'd say it's a very bad deck.
I mean, you win sometimes, but that's not because the crazy Hakkar kills, mostly because the opponent runs out of steam. Most of the time you just have a hand full of big stuff and get killed by aggro, or have your prelates/hakkar silenced/transformed
So I’ve been trying this deck and it’s fun but not competitive. Aggro destroys it quick and the deck definitely suffers from the Equality nerf. Control matchups are really long but they are your most winnable. Against OTK they usually finish you before you get to the bloods.
The best and most satisfying matchup is against any Mechathun deck. It’s so great when the draw their whole deck and are setting up for their finale. Then you throw the corrupted bloods in their deck and there is nothing they can do about it!
Interesting. I always played Hakkar in a healadin/Uther deck and didn't think about using it instead in a prelate deck. I might have to try that out as it thins way faster
Equality nerf isn’t really that bad for control decks. It seemed more targeted at aggro to stop equality into lopsided trades and keep on steamrollin’ with tempo. You barely ever used it before turn 5-6 unless super desperate. It’s a nerf, but not so bad that it should detract from your desire to play this deck.

This deck looked as one of the most wacky and most funny decks before the nerf. Has anyone tried it after the nerfs and if so: how is it doing?
From someone considering to craft the deck (Lacking Hakkar, will sub Lynessa for something)
Thx in advance for all response :)
If anyone wondered, this is the one I was thinking of:

I agree, Priest looks promising and fun as well, but I lack Hemet unfortunatly

Hakkar, the Soulflayer is well worth a Craft. It even works in Warrior. And Mage.
4/3/19 RIP Keith Flint. 😔
Oh, I just meant crafting Hakkar, but substituting the Lynessa with something else.
Thx for response so far:-)
Don’t other decks just kill you faster or remove (Scream/Hex/Polymorph) or silence Hakkar?

And hunter for that sake. I suspect Hunter to still be quite strong, even though i havent faced it much

What does it loose to generally? Odd pally and tempomage?
Is the struggle usually the healing or simply boardcontrol and clears?
And is there anyone else who has tried this dexk and who has positive reviews? I really want it to work :-)
