So I was playing arena against priest and he played [Linecracker]. I didn’t have a way to answer it so I just played cheap taunts with enough bodies to kill it next turn. Well the priest played [Mass Hysteria] and the [Linecracker] attacked into a minion and two of my other minions attacked into the [Linecracker] and the passive buffed its attack to 40. Is this supposed to be the case or should it “supposed” to only buff to 10 because the [Linecracker] only attacks once?
Whoops. That's no bug. That's how it works. Every time Linecracker Overkills its attacks get doubled, kinda like Gurabashi Berzerker getting +3 attack every time it takes damage.
I guess the wording should be better but hey ho. By the way, how many cheap minions with Taunt did you have to get its attack to 40?!

Yes, this is probably unintended.

Not a bug:
https://hearthstone.gamepedia.com/Overkill
"Overkill: Deal excess damage on your turn for a bonus."
Your opponent's Linecracker dealt three times excess damage on your opponent's turn, which means it is working as intended.

4/3/19 RIP Keith Flint. 😔
Only three are required, as OP said in the opening post.
Overkill should just work on your turn
Read the opening post again. ;)
That's a great addition to Wall Priest. Must remember to add that card.
