thats 11 mana my friend
Ah, just what pirates needed to be relevant again!...An 8 mana legendary.
This ain't it, captain
I am a Paladin Main, so I shouldn't be here. For me, I personally love the concept of the card. Plenty of benefits, such as thinning your deck, clearing the board, having overkill effects as seen on video and can easily shadow step this legendary to even further thin out your deck! Then you can go back to shuffling more 1 cost uther of the ebon blades into your deck. 4/5 from me!
I think it might be "Summon" instead of "Recruit" because of Ship's cannon synergy.
NO REFUND!
This might be a very bad question, but is there a difference between Recruit or Summon? For instance, if I have Steward of Darkshire and Recruit a 1 Health minion, do I get the Divine Shield. What about Summon?
Functionally, recruit and "summon from your deck" are the same. It's just a superficial difference in that recruit is a keyword exclusive to kobolds and catacombs, even though the effect isn't.
Whenever you summon a Divine Shield minion you get the shield. I can't think of any difference- I guess they just decided that having "Recruit" as a keyword wasn't worth the hassle.
Recruit always takes minions from your deck and puts them on the board.
Summon can summon any minion, for example muster for battle that summons 3 silver hand recruits "out of thin air".
Whenever a minion makes it on the board, regardless of the method( by playing it, by recruiting it, or simply by summoning) it is considered summoned.
So to answer your question, yes, Steward of Darkshire should activate if you recruit a 1 health minion.
Summon is the core mechanic but not a real keyword. It is a mechanic of the game like a programming code.
"Summon" is a hidden keyword which means "put a minion(a specific one most of the time) to battlefield" like "summoned" which states a minion's place. a Summoned Minion means that minion is on the battlefield. A card may be worded like "If you have summoned 4 minions" we need to understand "if we put 4 minions on battlefield", in past or now. You don't need to play that card with 4 minions on the battlefield. If you have put 4 minions on earlier turns it is enough to trigger that effect.
Playing a minion isn't "to put" a minion to the battlefield.
Playing a minion from hand "summons" the minion which make the game puts that minion onto battlefield.
Recruit isn't same with summon. Recruit summons the minion from your deck. Recruit is not same with summon because Revive can also summon minions as well as playing the minion from your hand or a deathrattle effect.
If Steward of Darkshire worded like "Whenever you recruit a 1-health minion" it would not give 1-health minions that you play from your hand or from deathrattle effects or revive effects. So recruit is only the statement which makes game summons minions from deck. Steward of Darkshire's effect includes recruit but wider than it. So yes, if you recruit a 1-Health minion while Steward of Darkshire on the battlefield it takes Divine Shield.
that animation is <3
I mean this card has a lot of potential value, but most pirates are not really that good coming out of your deck like that, especially with rush. I would rather have this cost 10 mana and summon the pirates with charge instead. Rush just isn't gonna do much for you unless you're playing a defensive deck, but pirates have never been defensive.
Why "Summon 3 pirates from your deck" instead of "Recruit 3 pirates"?
easier on newer players as they wont know what recruit is. they already said about this topic before
Why doesn't Y'Shaarj say recruit? Because recruit isn't an evergreen keyword. It only exists on K&C cards.
I'm with you though. I think it's annoying that they aren't consistent with wording.
Very cool artwork we'll need some more good pirates for this to work i think but i really like the artwork
Too bad both the champion and the loa are memes though... would be nice to actually get a good legendary that fits with successful rogue archetypes rather than trying to push entirely new meme decks
This + Shadowstep = Value
c'mon guys, call to arms + 6/3 body + rush... its just really good, even without big pirates
