Would this work with Boomship? "Rush minions" would seem to refer minions that have rush on the card, not minions that are granted rush with an effect. Like N'Zoth ressurects your deathrattle minions, but not minions you've given a deathrattle with something like Ancestral Spirit.
would it work with dr. boom? I know hearthstone can be pretty weird about that. Might have another situation where they mean rush keyword minions and not every minion with rush
So is there a mechanical difference between "minions with Rush" and "Rush minions"? Why does this work with minions that gain Rush via an effect, but Warsong Commander doesn't work with minions that gain Charge?
Just asking for rules clarification, because I assumed this would only work with cards that have Rush actually printed on them, similar to how N'Zoth and Hadronox only resurrect minions that have Deathrattle and Taunt printed on them.
I'll bring up to the team about Warsong Commander not working with cards like Warrior's Charge. Sounds like a bug to me. It works with Spiked Hogrider, so I don't see why it shouldn't work.
Cards that affect minions on the Battlefield like Strongshell Scavenger or Rallying Blade care about their current state. If a Taunt minion or Divine Shield minion loses their status as a Taunt or Divine Shield, they no longer benefit from cards like that. Because you can see the minions on board, it makes sense that the cards do or don't affect them because you can see they have those keywords.
When you start digging into dead minions we care about the base minion, partially because you can't see them anymore. Tracking things you can't see kind of sucks, so keeping it simple is nice. Balance also plays into it - when you play Hadronox or N'Zoth, we can know the limit to what people can resummon and we can cost it appropriately. Druid being able to give any minion Taunt with Mark of the Wild blows that out and makes it so we have to make a weaker card, to account for all the extreme edge cases. We'd rather give you a powerful card that you can use. Granted, we still make specific corner case cards like Star Aligner, because that appeals to certain players, so that doesn't mean we're against making weird cards that make you stretch. :)

This works with Boomship.
Liv
Yes, it works with Dr. Boom.
Liv
If the minion you cast Rocket Boots on was summoned that turn, it will be Immune.
Liv
Yeah, as long as they were summoned this turn. :)
Josh Durica
Yes it works!
