Freehold has traditionally served as a haven for pirates, scoundrels, and those who wish to live free of Kul Tiran control. Now, the Irontide Raiders have brought the city under their harsh rule and are coercing the various pirate crews under their banner. While the pirates gather, a small group of heroes must infiltrate the town and eliminate their leadership to dissolve this growing alliance of cutthroats.

Patches the PirateI'm in Charge Now!PatchesPatches the PirateHearthstone Top Decks

Ever since its reveal on November 4th 2016, Patches the Pirate has been one of Hearthstone’s most controversial cards, loved by many and hated by at least as many. This is mostly due to the fact that this initially unassuming 1-cost 1/1 is one of the game’s most powerful and impactful cards. Its Charge ability makes it extremely valuable to aggressive decks, which the Pirate tribe already naturally favors. It turns every other Pirate in your deck into a tutoring card without any drawback AND it does so for free. In any card game, tutoring for specific cards and cheating the resource system are some of the most powerful or downright broken things you can be doing, Hearthstone being no exception to this rule.

Skycap'n Kragg's ParrotSharkbait's Favorite Crackers

What's more boss than riding a parrot with a jawbone for a shoulderpad while wielding a giant hook-lance-thing and wearing a pirate hat? NOTHING.

Sharkbait was Skycap'n Kragg's faithful companion for many years, where they patrolled the skies of Freehold. Sharkbait though, is a fickle friend as he goes wherever the crackers are.

And the parrot doesn't have a hook on the card art, but its a cool addition, reminds me of pirate falstad's mount in hots!Comment by TruweilI wish the mount was the red color.Comment by RakkCortalThe last thing I want to see in WoW is more "cross-over" stuff from Hearthstone. Not a fan of this at all. Let's hope they keep it with references and not actual gameplay.Comment by BombkirbyThe last thing I want to see in WoW is more "cross-over" stuff from Hearthstone.
