1x Fiery Bat
1x Patches the Pirate
1x Crackling Razormaw
1x Kindly Grandmother
1x Scavenging Hyena
1x Bearshark
1x Southsea Captain
1x Vicious Fledging
1x Necrotic Geist
1x Savanah Highmane

Considerable replacements: Geist => Bittertide Hydra (sacrifise board clear for more face dmg), Bat => Alleycat (1 less dmg but potential more buff to Hyena), Bearshark => Animal Companion (stronger overal, but inconsistent)

Too many one-drops? Prince Rogue has the same amount of them (6 + patches) and somehow it is considered as tier 1 deck. Of course you can have sometimes bad start, but with some early pirates and weapons + keleseth, this deck can still beat up anyone. It is not unstoppable like before (God bless!), but not so bad to go 0-7 or calling it garbage. Maybe you just don’t know how to play it correctly?

“Bittertide Hydra – You could go with Naga Corsair for a cheaper option.”
But Naga Corsair is already at the list 🙂

Good change. Now remove (or reduce rate) of Bonemere and finally balance should be ok. Of course till next expansion…

Of course it is possible. Deck will just not be so powerfull, but still playable. If you will not use Prince and Patches, also get rid of Southsea Captain, Bloodsail Corsairs, probably Saronite Chain Gang also is not so powerful (you can leave 1).

What to use? First of all you will need some 2-drops (you can use them now because you don’t have Prince). Possible choices:
– Darkshire Librarian + Silverware Golem package (classic Discard Zoo combo);
– Golakka Crawler (if you face a lot of pirates);
– Acid Swamp Ooze (if you face a lot of weapon classess);
– Gnomeferatu (decent 2-drop that can destroy enemy’s important cards like Prince Keleseth, Anduin DK etc.);
– Dire Wolf Alpha (you have to fight for board and Wolf can give you these +1 attacks);
– Fallen Sun Cleric (same as above);
– Knife Juggler (not so powerfull as it was in the past, but still fits in this kind of deck);

Use also at least two 3-drops because your Southsea Captains are gone. Choices:
– Shattered Sun Cleric (probaby the best for tempo and board);
– Tar Creeper, Earthen Ring Farseer (same as above, good 3-drops but some more defensive ones if you face a lot of aggro);
– Vicious Fledgling (aggresive 3-drop);

Other possible cards:
– Possessed Villager (decent 1-drop);
– Sanguine Reveler (you have a lot of “crap” to destroy);
– Crystalweaver (questionable choice but you have a lot of demons, so who knows?);
– Dark Iron Dwarf, Defender of Argus (classic Zoo cards, they have their comeback now);

Hope I’ve helped you.

Almost always coin Prince. Unless opponent played something on turn 1 and you have decent response (Coil on 1 HP target etc.).

Wow, obvious and expected changes after ONLY four years 😀

Probably some tech choice, depends against what decks your playing most at the moment. You can use:
– Golakka Crawler (all these pirate decks)
– Mind Control Tech (Aggro Druid, Shamans, Zoo)
– Spellbreaker (Paladins)
– Primordial Drake (Priests, Shamans, Aggro Druid)
– Dirty Rat / Eater of Secrets (Exodia Mage)

Can we get this post among featured ones? It is updated but hard to find 🙂

Tar Creeper is a budget option for Pyros. Great against aggro, who is the problem for this deck.

No.

Why not Ice Block in Reno deck? Anyone knows?
