Notes

  • The Nether Portal minion summoned by the spell Nether Portal (which is generated by Lakkari Sacrifice) summons two 3/2 Nether Imps on the left and right sides of the Nether Portal minion, at the end of each turn of the controlling player.
  • The Nether Portal minion is a permanent card, meaning that it is untargetable and immune to all external effects. For details, see Permanent.
  • The Lakkari Sacrifice quest progress only counts successful Discards, meaning that activating a Discard effect while having an empty hand will not count towards the quest.[1]
  • Discarding and thereby summoning a One Night in KarazhanSilverware Golem will still count towards the quest progress.[1]

Strategy

This quest is rather difficult to fulfill because it requires you to amass a huge number of cards. As of Journey to Un'Goro, the only discard-effects in the game are battlecries. This means that in addition to the six cards you have to discard, you will need between three and six other cards that actually discard them. This means that you need nine to twelve cards in order to fulfill this quest, which is the most of all Un'Goro quests. By topdecking, ammassing this many cards takes seven to ten turns (minus one of you go second). Most discard decks don't last that long. Luckily, warlocks are not reliant on topdecks alone. Their hero power can accelerate the drawing process, though it costs mana and thus, valuable time.

Another big problem with completing this quest is, obviously, that it requires you throw away valuable cards. This means that you are almost officially required to play any card that is related to discard, otherwise you are likely to be outgunned by your opponent. Journey to Un'GoroCruel Dinomancer and One Night in KarazhanSilverware Golem are easy picks. The biggest assets to completing this quest, however, are One Night in KarazhanMalchezaar's Imp and Journey to Un'GoroClutchmother Zavas, as they completely eliminate the downside of discard while also reducing the number of cards (and thus the time) needed to complete the quest.

In the end, this quest may be an even more daunting task than Journey to Un'GoroThe Caverns Below. The reward is incredibly strong, but it may be argued that, without the Imps and the Clutchmother, completing the quest in a timely fashion is nigh impossible. Committing to the Lakkari Sacrifice means committing to craft the Imps and the Clutchmother.

Despite all that, the ultimate reward is extremely powerful. Once the Nether Portal is in play, there's nothing your opponent can do about it. The portal cannot be interacted with by them, meaning it will endlessly spawn 3/2 minions until the game ends. The 3/2s can be used to cheaply and securely maintain board control by trading into your opponent's minions for free. They can also be used to put on pressure, amassing an extra 6 damage to the opponent's Hero each turn, and growing in size if not dealt with. The portal itself does take up a spot on the board, limiting you to 6 minions total, and it constantly spawns in minions, but that shouldn't be a problem for Control and Handlock decks where minions numbers aren't as important.

The Lakkari Tar Pits are, as the name implies, tar pits found in northern Un'Goro Crater, just below Marshal's Refuge. Flowers, Tarblossoms grow at the bottom of these pits, which have gone unnoticed for a long time. Tar beasts live in the area among several giant bones of creatures that got stuck here.
