This crazy Hearthstone combo happens only once. No wonder, as the chance for it is extremely low.
As is common with card games, much in Hearthstone is based on luck. However, while some cards only have an entertaining 50:50 chance, there are also more complex cards that create crazy plays with more luck. Some combo even forces the opponent to draw 48 cards.
What happened? The player xChaos-WZW posted in the Hearthstone subreddit and showed a clip of a game. He plays as Nemsy the Warlock version of Galakrond, which summons four random demons. What happens next, you can see here:
Value from r/hearthstone
Instead of summoning four different demons, Galakrond summons the same demon four times, namely “Captured Antaen”. This demon is inactive for 2 turns, but then awakens and deals 10 damage, which is randomly distributed to all enemies.
What does that mean? In this game, that means a total of 40 damage, overwhelming the opponent in 2 turns. Since the minions are still considered “inactive”, there is also no way for the Priest to remove them from the battlefield prematurely. He has essentially set a timer that the Priest still has to win the game.
According to his own statements, xChaos-WZW actually won the game and also got to see all four Antaen fire their lasers at Tyrande and her minions.
How likely is that? Currently, there are 49 different demons in the “Standard” game mode. Thus, the likelihood of getting a specific demon 4 times with Galakrond is super low at 0.00017% – or in other words, a chance of 1 : 5,764,801!
It is therefore extremely unlikely that player xChaos-WZW will get to see this combination again. Perhaps he should instead try his luck at the lottery…
