Wild Combos at Castle Nathria

A body has been discovered at Castle Nathria! We'll soon be able to use the legendary minions suspected of the murder and the new location cards they're associated with. Before we get to try them out, we’re here to show off some possibilities involving this next expansion that may not have occurred to you. Here are some ideas for fun combos that use both new and wild cards!

+

Instantly triggering Hadronox’s Deathrattle has traditionally been activated by using your own Naturalize on it so it doesn’t get silenced, bounced, or transformed. If you already have Hedge Maze out, you not only can get the Hadronox effect a turn early, but it stays on the board so you can trigger it again or force your opponent to deal with it immediately.

+

Khadgar is a potentially nifty addition to Skeleton Mage in Wild. It doesn’t necessarily have to combo with Kel'Thuzad, the Inevitable. It can actually do a pretty good job at doubling the Skeletons you summon on your way to playing Kel’Thuzad.

+

Any buff that you cast on Partner in Crime will get double the value. Spells that summon copies multiply it even further. However, if it’s a sticky board you’re looking for, giving it Divine Shield as well will net you 4 extremely annoying minions.

+

Any minion with Imp in its name is a potential candidate for Imp King Rafaam’s Battlecry. The plethora of 3/3 Imps are already efficient enough, but Jumbo Imp is another fun thing to throw into the mix for a large yet free beatstick.

+ 

Any handbuff works in this case. Because Remornia, Living Blade keeps its stats when swapping between minion and weapon, handbuffing it as a minion can give you  consistent face damage via attacking with your hero. As long as it survives regular trading, it functions as a reusable Charge minion.

+ +  +

Party Crasher is too unique of a card to not find a ridiculous use for. Its intended use is likely just a fairly efficient way to get a big minion out of your hand and remove an enemy. However, having Bolner Hammerbeak out and a pair of Blood of The Ancient Ones in hand, you get an easy 30/30. Sure there’s a decent chance your opponent can get rid of it, but won’t it be fun when you make it to the games when they can’t?

We hope you give some of these combos a shot. Maybe you'll even discover your own! There are always new ways to use your cards, so experiment away!
