Blizzard values charge as a doubling of the ATK value, so inherently a 4/6 charge is valued like an 8/6 creature -- or at 6.5 mana. So the cost reduction is practically already 'icing on the cake.' :)
That card could be great if you can consistently play it for 3-5 mana. It's vastly inferior to Dr. Boom at 7 mana and still inferior to Sylvanas Windrunner at 6 mana. At 5 mana, it's already better than Sludge Belcher. If we get some great pirates and pirate decks turn out to be viable, this leg will be a viable finisher or at least trade 2:1 with your opponent.
The fact that this guy isn't an actual NPC in WoW saddens me. :/ But I'll get over it, because basically he's made up my Ben Brode and not Chris Metzen, big deal. ^^
I don't understand the issue with the lore. Hearthstone is set in the Warcraft universe, but it's not a 'best-of' for any of the Warcraft games. It's a little bit wackier than the usual Warcraft universe, so they've created a card that reflects that.
I really don't like that they are adding Legendary cards that aren't from any of the Warcraft lore ( Books, Comics, Games..), and are made up only for this epxpansion.
Card itself is really cool and balanced, if Pirates become a thing, it will see a lot of play. A slightly weaker and conditional Doomguard, but without huge drawback that doomguard has.
Don't worry bro they will definitely add more known legendaries to classes.
About card, I think it is fun card but we need to see other pirates to talk about it, it's too early. Also can be used with Conceal and wombo combo in Rogue decks.
I am not sure if this card would be good in pirate decks. Usually you have at most 1 Pirate on board from last turn if you are lucky.. If you have more Pirates allready on board you have probably allready won the game. Can't see much use for this card atm.. I like the design and theme of this card anyway.

Who can take your trash out? Stomp it down for you? Shake the plastic bag and do the twisty thingy, too?
Correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't it say for each friendly pirate? does it mean it counts the ones in your hand too? or maybe even the ones in your deck.. :D
I am quite sure that this isn't the case.. Mimiron's Head for example is spelled similar or Enhance-o Mechano. I know the legendary murloc has a more correct spelling on it but this is surely just lazy text writing..

Love the concept of the card, love the artwork, love the potential of the card. It's mediocre at best right now, but let's just wait what other Pirates we're getting this expansion.
If you look closely, you can see this is a signature and not a comment. Why are you reading? Stop reading this. Did you read this too? Dang you must like reading.
If it's 6/4 instead of 4/6, it may see some play in aggro/face Pirate deck.
Meta changes the moment you switch your deck.
Too soon to say, but I like that they are not abandoning support for theme decks.

Zoo pirate meta incoming.

It's too bad they wasted such a great piece of art on a dead card.
You are not prepared!
there sure coming more pirates, we´ve seen only very few cards till now, maybe gets even better with them ;)
Ignore the pirate stuff, this might see play because big Charge creatures tend to. Could replace Leeroy in some decks.
The only cancer in Hearthstone is its community.
Ignoring the pirate stuff it's a 7 mana 4 damage charge...in no way does that come close to Leeroy and Leeroy isn't even very good right now.
Actually yeah you're right. For some reason when I read it I thought it said 6/4 rather than 4/6.

All good friend. :P If it were a 6/4 I think people would be discussing pirate decks all over this forum though. :p Take note Blizzard.

Cool art. Nice card. I'll definitely use this super bad boy in my Pirate Rogue deck.

"Costs (1) less for each friendly pirate".... On the board? In the hand? Both? Blizzard you have to be more specific!

Can someone explain why every pirate is heavy on attack an low on health except the one with Charrrrge?! 6/4 whould make this card playable.
