Call to Arms

Call to Arms is an epic paladin spell card, from the Kobolds and Catacombs set.

Strategy
Call to Arms allows you to gain board control early in the game by summoning 3 low-cost minions in the battlefield for 4 mana. It also thins your deck by 3, allowing you to draw better cards. Call to Arms is a key card for Aggro Paladin and Murloc Paladin, letting you swarm the board with high-impact cards like Righteous Protector, Murloc Tidecaller, Knife Juggler, and Argent Squire. While this card is compatible with Baku the Mooneater, the deck-building restrictions causes only 1-drops to get Recruited, which lowers this card's immediate impact but still functions as a deck thinner.

It can also be used by Control Paladin as a unique board clear by pulling Doomsayer, along with cards like Dirty Rat to protect it and Loot Hoarder and Bloodmage Thalnos to refuel.

Since the recruit effect summons a minion direct from your deck, it will void any Battlecry effects.
