Returning a Card to hand & Charge

Regarding cards such as Shadowstep or the Brewmasters that return a minion on the battlefield to the owner's hand (usually friendly).

I know these are good for minions with battle-crys but I'm trying to ensure that most, if not all the cards in my decks have at least 2 strategies.

Question: Could you say, place a minion with charge, attack, pick it back up with one of the mentioned cards, play it again and attack again?

I'm aware it's not the most efficient/effective strategy but I could see some potential in it.

Solution 1:

Yes, you could do that. Returning a card to your hand does not change the wording on a card, so a minion with charge could attack twice in a round, at the cost of the mana required to summon that card twice.

However, as you've noted, it might not be the most efficient strategy, but if you absolutely need to do 2 damage and you have a Stonetusk Boar in your hand...

Solution 2:

Yes, this works. When you play the card again it becomes a different minion. Since it hasn't attacked and it has charge, it can attack.

This strategy is actually used, if rarely, in competitive play by rogues with Shadowstep, Leeroy Jenkins and Cold Blood. It deals a total of 26 damage with 1x Leeroy, 2x Shadowstep & 2x Cold Blood.
