Emerald Legionnaire

Just to confirm something about Emerald Legionnaire.
You can only use the special of burning 7 cards to return the Legionnaire if you have an Emerald Legionnaire in play. One Legionaire per card being brought back.
They are not recruited so they can act immediately and they dont have a pool cost right?

One legionnaire per 7 cards removed from ash pile. If you have one legionnaire in play, you can bring back from the ash heap as many legionnaires as you can afford with your ash heap cards.

Correct. The cost to bring them back are the cards removed from the ash pile. They can act during the same turn they come back.

I don't think so. The "During your unlock phase, you can ..." template indicate that you can only do it once per Legionnaire in play (as the original poster suggested).

Yes, once for each legionnaires card text, but since each legionnaire has this card text, after bringing one out, you can use the new ones card text to bring the next one out, and so on.

@Klaital: Is there a precedence for it working that way?

During your unlock phase, you can remove 7 cards in your ash heap from the game to move an Emerald Legionnaire from your ash heap to the ready region with 2 life.

I read this as a passive ability that applies across any and all ELs in your ash heap. "During your unlock phase," is essentially unbounded, as the unlock phase doesn't end until you announce you've moved into the Master phase.

It is an effect of a card in play, indiviudal card text of each legionnaire, just like how you burn 1 pool for each Anarch Revolt in play. By comparison Army of Rats has specific card text saying it's effect only happens once per turn regardless of how many you have.
