you are lacking on many levels, no reason to troll the guy, he is clearly excited for the upcoming expansion… just because you are too narrow to see the possibilities of this card doesn’t mean everyone else is.

THIS! When you see a good 1 drop, you know it’s going to see play.

With the upcoming nerfs… I’m already changing my deck ahead of time to adapt. I removed the three pirates and testing other solutions… since barnes is in the deck you want to optimize any potential pull.

so whats better ? (to replace the three pirates)

-two feral spirits and a second lightning bolt?
-two argent squires and a second lightning bolt?
-two argent squires, two feral sprits, and -1 spirit claws?

You went from “rank 6 to rank 3 with winstreak”? Smh..

Would you play it if it was a 3cost, 2/2?

could probably drop a copy of harvest golem and add a second feign death

I used +2 shaky zipgunner and only one copy of feign death and nerubian egg
instead

now that I’ve had more time, after testing brass knuckles, it seems too slow for this deck.. in a higher mid-range (or possibly a control deck) brass knuckles would do better. I have since replaced brass knuckles and trying out Patches the Pirate 🙂

I used pirate warrior last season with fairly good success (I only hit Rank 5 as I wasn’t able to spend as much time as I’d like playing last month). I have updated my list since of course and find it similar to this list.

there are 3 card differences and I would like your thoughts on it. I have Hobart grapplehammer, Cap’n Greenskin, and Brass knuckles in mine… I’m open to suggestions. the cards I don’t have in my deck in comparison to this one are -1 N’Zoth first mate, -1 swamp ooze, -1 Patches the Pirate

how does this fare against shaman? I queued into 4 shaman in a row and ended my run, so salty from it.

I kept my cap’n greenskin (like what other deck am I ever gonna use that guy) in my pirate deck, but I used your example…

didn’t add the blood to ichor and kept greenskin instead
I reduced a (pirate in) dreadcorsair for a horse rider.
I reduced a flame jugg and dropped arathi weapon smith for 2 toads.

I think the two toads and the extra bubcharge-rider will help the deck be even more aggressive
thanks for sharing.

I just saw this deck destroy hunter. I was speccing a friend of mine and saw this deck on ladder at rank 6. at first I was trying to figure it out as I saw the toad drop, but then the pirates started ***** onto the board. things turned around real fast turn 3-7 and game was done. the toad and flamer pings made a big impact on the frothing berserker which hit for 9 on it’s first swing before the hunter was able to take it out next with his activated cat trick. even with a barnes ragnaros pull it wasn’t enough to stop the continual pressure this pirate warrior was pushing… I have a pirate warrior deck, but I may change mine up with your example and give it a try.

understood. thanks for the response and details Brad!

To make clear, the only changes I’ve made after the first time playing this deck was to add in a copy of Nourish and Feral Rage,(realizing that Azure is missing and needed) having omitted mulch and sylvanis.

After reading your responses I think I’ll add Sylvanas in. I’m thinking I may take one Portal out to add in sylvanas?

Nourish has just been so good in this deck for the card draw. though I can see and agree two is a bit much of both feral rage and nourish (of which I have no intentions of adding more than one copy).

Feral Rage has come in handy to remove flame waker on the spot, toto golem, etc.

what would be your suggestion?
1 portal, 1 feral, 1, Nourish, 1 Sylvanis?
or just a one for one sub, take the mulch out and add in ether a Feral or a nourish?

mana wyrm should be modified in a patch to be a Dragon

I saw him playing this earlier today on stream, it was great. It inspired me to make a Dragon Hunter, I havn’t posted the deck yet and now have some more time to further test it. +1 from me.

just wanted to say, great deck!
it feels natural to play (I’ve always liked C’thun Druid). I had quickly added the Drakes back in as that was a mistake on my part to take them out.

I have made some changes I feel good with now.
Namely I’m not running Mulch or Sylvanis (although I have considered running her); instead I’m running a single copy of Nourish and Feral Rage (this has been very utilitarian (evening pushing the last 4 for lethal against Maly-Druid) -Playing FR as removal, face, or sometimes, armor… have even combo’d with Fandral a couple times.

I’m not a fan of mulch, I’ve been given great cards by an opponent or opp Yogg that played mulch against me and giving me things like Brann… Brann! of all things to give me “Thanks!”

the deck can sometimes get off and not be as consistent and I feel the copy of Nourish helps to give that option of additional draw and/or Ramp.. and right when you need it.

I took out: -Mulch, -Sylvanis, and -2 Drakes.
added: +1 Arcane Giant, +2 Feral Rage, +1 Nourish..
Thoughts on this?

post your tracker stats

well done!

of the four end game solutions, which 2 would you suggest for ladder? Medivh, rag, antonidus, yogg?
