   This deck lost to ANY current ladder deck at rank 3-4.

   At these ranks you only face: Discolocks, Quest rogues, Midrange- aggressive hunter, that literaly demolish you before turn 5

   Against Elemental Shamans, midrange pallies and quest war is 50%.

   Playing cards like Golakka Crawler, Earthen Scales and Tar Creeper is a waste of space for precious choices you can have instead.

   Pirate Warrior is no more so there is no reason to add Golakka Crawler to fit such a phantom meta. Earthen Scales is too weak of a card in this deck. Tar Creeper does literally nothing to boost the deck and it's goals against non-aggressive decks.

   Now that Azure Drake is gone from Standard cards like Lunar Visions are priceless and more suited to the deck. Yogg-Saron is also an additional potential swing for druid's lack of ability to retake the board when lost or there is no hope left for a comeback.

   A good deck builder knows not to add cards that are situational and improve the deck only against a specific matchup, but those that do so against the whole meta or are simply irreplaceable for the deck's performance.

      Pirate def still exists and is still tier 1
      and lunar vision with so much spells is garbage
      also every rogue deck uses pirates

         Well, if anyone dares to play Pirate Warrior when Quest Warrior and Elemental Shaman are its counters and are one of the most popular decks right now then good luck I guess.

         Lunar Visions is mainly useful, because it draws more reliably in top deck mode and is still a good bargain even with not so many minions. You can think of it as an additional Nourish with 1 less draw, since you will almost always use Nourish as draw.

         11 minions in this list give a reasonable chance to lower some of them, especially Gadgetzan Auctioneer.

         As for the rogues using pirates, sure you can remove one with the Golakka Crawler, but unless it is a 5/5 pirate the card is almost useless. There are better overall options out there that improve the deck in many ways compared to a situational card like that.

            Not sure what you're trying to say ... he went legend with that deck so he was superlucky albeit being a bad deckbuilder and using useless cards?

            Of course there's argument for and against each card. My bet is he made the right choices at the right time. Pretty clever deckbuilding in my eyes.

               I can agree with you on that one. At the time he may have encountered many rogues or pirate warriors and added the card for those matchups. That is indeed clever deckbuilding.

      Here comes the pro guys, chill, make him some space. Uooh, uooh. The pro! I bet you haven't achieved legend a single time.

         Legend is no different than any other rank. I've seen many "legends" playing worse than me even at top 100. It just requires time and experience.

         And for the record, being a good deck builder has nothing to do with achieving that rank. I have not come here to brag about how "pro" I am, but merely to discuss the deck.

         Reacting like that, when someone tries to discuss different card options, is just immature and provides no constructive criticism.

   Criticism aside, Matpakke, congratulations on reaching Legend! :)
