Quote from Dr_Scaphandre >>Welp, there is now ZERO reason to use Al'akir now when there's a flat out better version that can not only heal you, but you can have two copies.
Please buff Al'akir.
1) in wild, divine shield for the corpse taker, there are no really good even costed divine shield minions,I am aware wild even shaman doesn't use corpsetaker anyway.
2)if you play flametongue totem (which I am aware costs 3 now) in your deck and you can protect it or have a way to make alakir cost 7, or you run rockbiter weapon in your deck you can deal 10 with the totem or 12 with the rockbiter weapon.
3) alakir got taunt which is good against chargers (not as much as other taunts but still).
4)Those are weak reasons but I got another one-> redundancy maybe you want all 3 of alakir and walking fountains in your deck, for the morph guy that's 8 damage to face for 5 while having better stats on board.
There are not zero reasons, it's a better card in most common scenarios but the alakir got the edge in some of them.
