In Blizzard’s free card game Hearthstone, the influence of new cards from Naxxramas is noticeable. A player has now achieved one of the most wicked combinations in the history of the game: the sixfold Leeroy.
It was clear that the new cards would shake up the meta-game. However, experts like Trump saw the influence in the meta-game more in the direction that decks would shift even more towards minions and thus towards Zoo. At the level of game to game, completely different cards suddenly influence the match progression and create exciting game situations.
Thus, the magazine Polygon presented a video under the headline “Is this the most powerful combo in Hearthstone?”, showcasing brand new cards from the wings of Naxxramas in full action. They form a synergy with two existing cards, one of which has previously lived a shadowy existence.
The key cards of the combination are Baron Rivendare, who doubles deathrattle effects; the minion Leeroy Jenkins and two shaman class spells. With a double Spirit of the Ancients, Leeroy receives deathrattle twice, which resurrects the minion after death. The Baron doubles this effect. With the new shaman spell “Reincarnation”, Leeroy dies and is summoned back to the game with full abilities. Consequently, the original Leeroy has attacked normally during the turn, his death creates four clones, and he himself stands alive again on the board. Together with his 4 companions, he is immediately ready for battle thanks to Charge. The sixfold Leeroy is thus capable of dealing 36 damage across the entire turn. But see the video (of course with Epic Sax music) for yourself:
The nasty thing about the combination is the 36 damage that hits the opponent in 6 small bites. So there’s still enough room to clear a pretty large spotter out of the way. But Polygon reassures: A very special hand is needed for the combination, and a lot of mana is required as well.
