Template:Shadowstep strategy

Shadowstep is commonly employed to save minions when you lack a Taunt. It also allows players to return a minion to their hand and then replay them - a useful tactic as it allows them to activate their Battlecry a second time.

Another deadly use of Shadowstep is combining it with minions with Charge. Minions with Charge can attack several times in the same turn when you take them back in your hand and play them again.

Note that the "it costs (2) less" effect does not stack, and is consumed upon playing the affected minion. When you Shadowstep a 4 mana cost minion and play it again for 2 mana, if you Shadowstep it once again, the next time you play it, it will again be 2 mana, not 0. The reason for this is that mana cost enchantments are removed when the minion enters the battlefield. (For the same reason, Evolve effects use a minion's base mana cost rather than the one it had when played from the hand.)
