Patches the Pirate first appeared as a Legendary minion in Hearthstone's Mean Streets of Gadgetzan expansion in 2016. Played in Pirate decks, he would summon himself from the deck when another Pirate was played, making his entrance line impossible to avoid in matches at the time. His confident delivery helped turn the card into a running joke among players, who quoted it whenever someone arrived uninvited or took control. Years after his peak in competitive play, the clip remains a familiar gaming reference shared in edits, streams and soundboards.
