The Sixth Lackey -Speculation

What do you think the Sixth Lackey will do and be named?


  • [Ethereal Lackey]
  • [Faceless Lackey]
  • [Goblin Lackey]
  • [Kobold Lackey]
  • [Witchy Lackey]
  • Sixth Lackey

My guesses:

Sneaky Lackey: Give a minion Stealth.
Light Lackey: Restore 3 health.
Brewer Lackey: Return a friendly minion to your hand.

Archaeologist Lackey: Add a copy of a minion you played to your hand.
Sacrificial Lackey: Destroy a friendly minion and restore health equal to it’s Remaining Health.

Divine Lackey: Give a minion Divine Shield. (op?)
Mummy Lackey: Give a minion Reborn (seems too op).
Demonic Lackey: Give a minion Lifesteal (seems too op).

Give a minion Lifesteal from Lackey doesn’t seem OP, paladin has it as twinspell for (2) mana.

As they created a Lackey that turns a minion to the one that costs (1) more, which seems to be only Shaman power, I think that there are more class powers in Lackeys to come.

Shuffle a copy of a minion to your deck
Draw a card or take 2 damage and draw a card
Silence a minion?
Give a minion +1/+1 or even handbuffing
Freeze a minion

A lot can come

What are we talking about?

I like Shuffle Lackey a lot.

Silence seems too op in the mech meta.

+1/+1 seems really balanced and good.

Freeze a minion seems fun, maybe too good in rogue, but lot of fun in other classes.

I like cursed Lackey. While this is in your hand, take 2 damage at the start of your turn.

Was it told that all Lackeys will be 1/1?

There should be a synergy card:

Lackxodius, The Forbidden Boy

4 Mana 1/1
Battlecry: If you have 6 different lackys, destroy the enemy hero.

Yes, in their introduction in Rise of Shadows they said that 1/1/1 is a defining aspect of Lackeys, and that there would be more.

Ultra Lackey: If you have all six lackeys on the board, combine into Manazord.

Manazord: 6/6, [insert effect here]
It’ll be like a power-ranger/super hero theme.

The return minion to your hand lackey sounds likely. Or it’s a discover a minion one.

Well, the Lackeys are based on the villains, but there doesn’t seem to be a new villain so far (AFAIK, correct me if I missed a vital preview). What if the events of crashing Dalaran into Blackrock Mountain and then defeating Ragnaros makes Ragnaros respect them to the point he’s willing to offer them some help in the form of a Lackey? In that case the new Lackey could be something like:

Elemental Lackey
1 mana 1/1
Battlecry: deal a random amount of damage (max. 8) to a random enemy minion

Undead Lackey

Give a friendly minion Reborn.

Sounds the most inline to m- wait.

Did I say “Dead”?

I’m very sorry. I meant “Otherdimensional Lackey”.

Plague Lackey

1 mana
1/1

Battlecry: deal 1 damage to all minions

Lucky Lackey: Draw a card.

Class Fantasy Lackey
Battlecry: Use a random spell that we currently think is apart of the Class Fantasy of the class your playing. You never know this changes on a daily basis.

Old School Lackey.

Add a card from the past to your hand.

Loyal Lackey

1 mana
1/1 beast

Whenever an adjacent minion takes damage, this minion takes it instead.
