After Patch 10.0, I noticed that cards that already have effects that Recruit minions (Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound, Finja, the Flying Star, Meat Wagon, and arguably Patches the Pirate) did not have their text changed to indicate the new keyword, despite text changes happening for Lifesteal cards when the Knights of the Frozen Throne was released. Are there similar plans to change the text of these cards, or will they be kept as is?
I don't think so, i think they say something about wanting it be the keyword of the set and blablabla
Yeah, that is true, I remember that too. But I hope they change their mind in the future, there is no real reason for such inconsistency to exist (like many others... :( ).
I hope not. There is a bit of danger in re-tagging those with the keyword. If there is ever a card (or cards) made in the future that interact specifically with "recruit" (for example, "Whenever you recruit a minion, do X") every card in the recruit pool must be considered. And to echo the designers, I like when keywords feel tied to the expansion, as flavor.

They have said that they will not.
Yeah it doesn't make sense to me either.
