** Combo is now broken due to Patches nerf :( [though it was necessary] **

Patches the Pirate is awesome and has big-time potential.  Mix in a Southsea Captain buffed Skycap'n Kragg (5/7 charge Doomguard) and you have some serious OTK potential. 

This is an adaption of an aggro/deathrattle rogue I fiddle around with that uses Unearthed Raptor for drawing and sustaining the early game.  You don't want to play a pirate until you can safely Gang Up Patches the Pirate in the same turn.  Generally, you may want to toss away Southsea Deckhand and/or Swashburglar in the mulligan.

MULLIGAN

Mulligan for Argent Squire, Loot Hoarder, Undercity Huckster, Unearthed Raptor with coin if holding a Hoarder or Huckster, SI:7 Agent with coin.

PLAYSTYLE

Control the early board with your mix of early drop minions, Backstabs, SI:7 Agent combo, hero power, etc.  If you need card draw, it's okay to Gang Up a Loot Hoarder or Shadowstep a Coldlight Oracle.

After having used Gang Up on Patches, your combo ability becomes impressive.

Combo with Gang Up once on Patches:

Southsea Captain draws 3 Patches ---> Skycap'n Kragg now 3 mana ---> Shadowstep Kragg ---> Skycap'n Kragg now 1 mana ---> Cold Blood x2 for a total of 9 mana and combo potential of 6 (buffed Patches x3) + 10 (buffed Kragg x2) + 8 (Cold Blood x2) = 24 damage

Combo with Gang Up twice on Patches:

Southsea Captain draws 6 Patches ---> save one Backstab to suicide a Patches after you smorc him to make room for Skycap'n Kragg now 1 mana (you may also just suicide one into a minion if you have to) ---> Shadowstep Kragg ---> Skycap'n Kragg now 0 mana ---> Cold Blood x2 ---> Eviscerate x2 for a total of 10 mana and combo potential of 12 (buffed Patches x6) + 10 (buffed Kragg x2) + 8 (Cold Blood x2) + 8 (Eviscerate x2) = 36-38 damage

The second combo is probably overkill and who knows how well this will work, but seems like fun to me.... yarrrrrr!
