Does Jaraxxus still die to sacrificial pact? I've been using him in a handlock deck but most of the time i don't need to worry about it because no opponents are expecting it and they use Zeph on something else. But warlocks are running two copies right now.
i wish they would change that because he's a hero card before they actually called them hero cards. Also i know he's more of a meme than anything but it's so nice to have an opponent think he's beaten you and then play him.

What? Jaraxxus is not a hero card. What are you talking about? He is a minion with a very special battlecry, which is a different thing.

I wish they changed him to an actual hero card, as he was never intended to be a minion even though he occationally appeared as one. Remember, he does NOT appear when random demons are summoned or discovered afaik.
I hoped he would become viable once Bloodreaver Gul'dan rotated, but that proved to not be the case for a card which was once the ultimate anti-control grinding tool.
I've never been a fan of the sacrificial pact jaraxxus interaction. I don't think it's "fair" and it's a shame since Jarraxus would be a fun card to use.

Yeah, me too, but didn't know about him not appearing when random demons are summoned or discovered. Are those recent changes? Where did you hear or read about them? Seriously, those are honest questions, not trying to prove you wrong or something like that, like I did with this TMRobinson guy, hehe (believe me, I have more than one reason to not like him :P).
I got him off Galakrond just today, so it's not true that you can't get jaraxus as a random minion. he was quite useful, very hard to remove for the deck I was playing agaisnt.

The only time Jaraxxus is useful to the point where he can be used for fun is if you can cheat him out of your hand as a minion and give him taunt, with his huge health pool.
There are an insane amount of 15 damage combos in the game. And unless your opponent's topdecking from an empty hand, there's literally no way to play a 9 mana card that provides quite literally zero tempo, and locks you to 15 max health.
Jaraxxus needs an update.. There's not even a ton of novelty in becoming Jaraxxus anymore, since Mecha Jaraxxus is a hero anyway.
I've no clue why people are blaming Sac Pact as the issue. When the problem is clearly the drastically outdated card.

Gonna need some evidence of that, rather than just believing a random person's memory.

I don't think Jaraxxus can be drawn from Dragon's Hoard either.

I think he does appear just regularly, but the last time I played Bane of Doomwas in Classic times, and I mainly play Wild, which has very large minion pools so I can't check. He definitely was added to my hand somehow in a recent game I played, I just forgot with which class, but I won :)
Back in the day, him being a minion was a good thing for Handlock to combat aggro, since he too would be summoned from Voidcaller, could be given Taunt, and with his 15 Health was beyond their removal range. You wouldn't have gotten to turn 9 anyways.

Sac pact is a huge reason Jaraxus isn’t played, with zeph currently in the game. I agree that locking the HP though in the current climate is another, albeit smaller, reason too. But it’s impossible to play him with all highlander and warlock decks.
if they changed the interaction and removed locking hp to 15 he’d see significant play I think.

I can’t imagine anyone would be opposed to changing the interaction and we’ve been asking for it for ages. Shame, still won’t happen.

Aha. Do your homework he can be generated through random cards.

Jaraxxus from Galakrond.
Viper was running jaraxxus in his handlock list.
I think he does appear just regularly, but the last time I played Bane of Doomwas in Classic times, and I mainly play Wild, which has very large minion pools so I can't check. He definitely was added to my hand somehow in a recent game I played, I just forgot with which class, but I won :)

Im not sure if they changed it, but im almost sure that it was possible to summon Jaraxxus from Bane of Doom
You are probably right. I just never saw him in ages, maybe except being created as a random legendary in Rogue.
But yes, the 15hp lock and sacpac interaction ruin him, unfortunately.
