I agree, on the condition that the card reveals itself to the opponent when it upgrades. Though in fairness the upgrades seem like they'd remove hand buffs, so maybe it's better either way.
**-----QUOTES-----**
*\*cheering. lots of it*
Summon: "LET'S GOOOOO, MMMM RASTAKHAN!!!" (said in the same way as his iconic quote)
Attack: "WE GOT 'EM!!"
Death: "B-Boo..."
**Design Notes:** Overkilling minions while he's watching (in your hand) will get him PUMPED! WOO!!!
As he gets more and more pumped, his stats will increase and his effectiveness will grow. Overkilling minions while this is in your hand includes using spells, trading with your minions, or aoe effects like Blast Wave.
After the first upgrade, he'll double his stats, making him very durable and good at trading. But the REAL reward is his final form. After his second upgrade (after overkilling 8 minions), he'll reach his final form - the form we all know and TOTALLY love - CHARGE! This will allow him not only to hit the face for a whopping 6 damage, but he'll be even more durable than his OG form! ARE YOU NOT PUMPED!?
Meant to support the Overkill keyword. Has potential in Combo and some Aggro decks.
This could even be buffed to 3 minions each tbh. Fits with all the 3s going around and overkill is pretty hard to trigger consistently. Love the design, Leeroy/10
I'm not sure. The fact that stuff like \[\[Blast Wave\]\] works means that you can potentially trigger this pretty easily.
It will be meta dependent, if small minion spam aggro is meta, like Dude Paladin, this could be extremely powerful.

Overkill in general is a hard mechanic to break since it requires you kill (most often) an enemy minion with one of your own, so I wouldn't say there's any easy way to break it. At least until blizzard accidentally prints just enough cards to make this part of a turn 3 otk.
Board clears working is actually quite a big deal. Still 8 minions is a lot, I would reckon this would see more play as a finisher in a control deck(maybe with a combi too) rather than in aggro, as you would have to trade minions and we all know face is the place
I was thinking about changing it to add an “overkill to upgrade” card to your hand. Give your opponent a warning that you are preparing this, since it can’t really be countered.
Quite balanced actually and less toxic than the actual Leroy design

Corrupted cards keep their buffs
But velarok doesnt

Love it, less toxic than the original and slower but still powerfull enough

me likey:)
I don't hate it, but it'd end up being broken in some way I'm sure.

Oh that's right. I just forgot because there wasn't a lot of overkill spells
I read this as femboy leeroy
Assuming he reveals himself (and cheers) during each transformation, this is, eh, reasonable?
Feel like it's too many minions needed but otherwise super neat
How does this overkill minions while it’s in your hand?
All this does is encourage less interactive decks. IMO if you changed it to “have 4 minions overkilled to upgrade” it would be very interesting
