This is actually the most broken card in Hearthstone ever if you think about it... It's the only minion in the game that's literally free.
Even Dr. Boom has downsides: It costs 7 mana and a card. This dude has pretty much no downside: No mana cost. You don't have to spend a card. Gives insane tempo since you can usually get him out on turn 1. The only downside is the small chance of getting it in your opening hand. And even then it's somewhat decent i guess?
He requires a slot in your deck. That is not free. (This matters a lot for decks that want the pirate package but can't afford to cut core cards)
Will this card still be playable after the rotation?
almost certainly, only one card rotates out in the entire deck
Stonetusk Boar... kappa
And nearly everyone thought this card would be garbage at first...
What? Most thought it would be batshit insane.
Why people dont give credit to a 1/1 FREE charge minion, I mean it can do so much with pirate sinergy...
Specialy for pirate warior :I
Patches the Floating Watcher
When the card art was first revealed, I thought this was supposed to be a pirate housecat or something. The card art is so small you can barely tell he's got more than two eyes and patches.
probably the closest Hearthstone has ever come to making their own version of Black Lotus.
Dr.1
Muster for Pirates
I have Patches and he doesn't charge. So it has been over a year and Blizzard still has not fixed the Hearthstone charge bug ...
If your Patches the Pirate isn't charging, please report it to Blizzard here:

So freakin good. I just crafted him and I'm more than happy with it. :)
At least a useful 1/1 legendary. Yes I'm looking to you Shifter Zerus!!!
Bloodmage Thalnos
He never said that Thalnos was bad.
I think Patches is such a good card. He definitely has defined the meta.
Thalnos costs 2 mana
