Lakkari Felhound

Lakkari Felhound is a common warlock minion card, from the Journey to Un'Goro set.

Strategy
As an Ancient of Blossoms that costs 2 less, this is a very powerful Taunt in Arena. Playing this will generate a tremendous amount of tempo as long as it doesn't get answered immediately, making this a high-risk, but very high-reward card. It's more suitable for an Arena deck with a lower mana curve so the player can empty their hand in the mid- or late game without discarding any cards.

In a constructed environment, while it's much more riskier to play compared to alternatives like Doomguard, it is a strong enabler for discard synergy effects like Clutchmother Zavas and speeds up quest completion for Lakkari Sacrifice. Krul the Unshackled also lets you drop this minion into play without having to pay its steep summoning cost, and Kabal Trafficker can add additional copies to your hand.

Lore
This felhound drips with the thick tar of the Lakkari Tar Pits. Given the power of the elementals controlling the pits, this may reflect an influence over or even outright control of the demon by the tar pits' rulers.
