Strategy
Due to the four effects of the card, it`s a powerful card to play at any stage of the game, but is weak in stats and needs buffing up to be really impactful.. As a majority of its strength comes from effects, it is extremely susceptible to Silence and having Taunt makes it vulnerable as you can`t use other taunt minions to protect it. The fact that it has both Windfury and Charge gives it great damage output the turn it`s played if combined with Flametongue Totem or Rockbiter Weapon and can be used to trade against multiple minions or as a finisher.

Strategy
Playing this minion will be useful at almost any time, due to the many abilities he has. Be that as it may, since he has Taunt The shield-like Taunt visual effect Taunt is a minion ability which forces the opposing player to direct any melee attacks toward enemy targets with this ability. Minions with Taunt (commonly referred to as Taunts) serve it`s very possible for him to die the turn after summoning, stopping you from gaining too much advantage from his Windfury A minion with Windfury A hero with Windfury For the card of the same name, see Windfury (card) Windfury is an ability which allows a character to attack twice per turn. Windfury is most commonly . He is also vulnerable to Silence For the card of the same name, see Silence (card). Silence is an ability which removes all current card text, enchantments, and abilities from the targeted minion. It does not remove damage or minion type. , which will nullify all of his abilities and make him very weak for his mana cost.

Charge is available to all classes, but is most strongly , Al`Akir is especially effective for dealing large amounts of burst Burst damage or burst potential refers to a player s ability to deal a large amount of damage in one or two turns, allowing a player to finish off a previously damaged opponent, or deal an damage on the turn he is played. His Windfury makes him a perfect target for Attack buffs such as Rockbiter Weapon Rockbiter Weapon Set: Basic Type: Spell Class: Shaman Cost: 2 Give a friendly character +3 Attack this turn.This would be real handy if your enemy is made of rock.See this card on Hearthpwn data page] and Flametongue Totem Flametongue Totem Set: Basic Type: Minion Subtype: Totem Class: Shaman Cost: 2 Attack: 0 Health: 3 Tags: Ongoing effect, Positional effect Adjacent minions have +2 Attack.Totemsmiths like to use the rarest woods for their totems. . With no Taunts on the table, Al`Akir + Rockbiter Weapon can allow the shaman to deal 12 damage in a single turn. This combo is commonly used by shamans as a closer. In case it is not enough damage to end the game, the combo also leaves Al`Akir on the board as a Divine Shield Taunt, helping to prevent direct reprisals.
When defeating the opponent using Al`Akir is not possible, he can also be used to quickly remove dangerous or valuable enemy minions. With sufficient Attack he can remove two minions on the turn he is summoned, ideally without being destroyed himself.
Whatever the strategy, Al`Akir`s Windfury makes him an excellent target for Attack buffs, while his Taunt makes him a good target for Health buffs. Health buffs can also help him survive for an extra turn, especially if used to attack other minions.

Trivia
- Al`Akir ("☧♄☣☮♊☱" in Arabic, more correctly transliterated as al-’akhÅr) means "The Last One".
- During the game`s alpha The Hearthstone alpha was the alpha test phase in the development of Hearthstone. The alpha test presumably ended on Aug. 16th 2013, when Hearthstone began its closed beta testing phase in the Americas region. An and beta The Hearthstone beta was the beta test phase in the development of Hearthstone, following the alpha test. The beta test began in its closed phase in the Americas region on Aug. 16th 2013, and in phases, Al`Akir was generally considered to be an extremely underpowered and undesirable card, widely named one of the worst legendaries in the game. Be that as it may, as with the value of any card, over time a shifting meta game and new deck types has led players to discover the potential of the card.
- Ben Brode Ben Brode Type: Minion Rarity: Legendary Cost: 3 Attack: 4 Health: 1 Your volume can t be reduced below maximum.See this card on Hearthpwn data page] "There is no way to contain the Brode." - Yong states that during the game`s alpha he was receiving so much negative feedback regarding Al`Akir card that the team very nearly buffed the card, with even top players within Blizzard asking him "How come you made him so bad?!" and asking him to "make this guy good". With Brode having originally pitched the card as a 3/3, Eric Dodds Eric Dodds Type: Minion Rarity: Legendary Cost: 6 Attack: 5 Health: 5 Abilities: Summon Battlecry: Summon a 2/2 Pirate and destroy all Ninjas.See this card on Hearthpwn data page] Eric Dodds is a Blizzard employee, later increased the minion`s stats to 3/5, but this was not enough to counter the negative feedback about the card, with the developers eventually scheduling a further buff to 3/7.
- Be that as it may, when the developers examined the alpha`s backend stats, Al`Akir was found to in fact have the highest win rate of any legendary in the game at that time. The developers therefore realised that the card was simply under-appreciated, and quickly reverted the planned changes to the card, avoiding making "a pretty terrible mistake". This was the first time the developers used "hard data" to inform balance changes.
