Hello, im a multiple times legend player and i wanted to post this deck for everyone who wants to climb the ladder quickly if anyone has some questions just write them in the comments i will try to answer all of them.
deck is still consistent fell to rank 1300 legend trying to make hunter gr8 again got back to 400 in 1 day with this list with this many rogues on ladder i have 50% win rate thinking of putting 1 more execute since i only loose to all in van cleefs
SOON THERE WILL BE HEAVY CHANGES TO THE DECKLIST!
after a little bit of testing taking a more SMOrc Approach gives me a better matchup against rogue and small time bucaneer feels kind of cluncky sometimes also i feel deathwing is not good since i havent seen many druids around
MULLIGAN GUIDE
Well like almost all agressive decks we want to curve perfectly especially against agressive decks,the problem is that if in every game we mulligan agressively the chances of having patches the pirate in our starting hand is higher, and depending on the matchup you may want to start with double 1 drop if you have the coin. If you have a decent hand especially if you have a pirate 1 drop try to mulligan nothing or 1 card limiting the chance of getting patches, if your hand is garbage tho go all out with the mulligan since the most important thing is to curve out.
VS pirate warrior
the dream hand if we are first should be alexstrasza champion / N'Zoth first mate / and a dragon other rly good options are Fiery war axe / blood to ichor / ravaging ghoul / frothing berserker.small time bucaneer is not rly that good because they kill him off easely but if you have the coin and you also have N'Zoth first mate you can keep him also
VS pirate shaman
its almost the same mulligan as warrior but here blood to ichor and ravaging ghoul is top priority to deal with the totem golem toghether with fiery war axe and alexstrasza champion to deal with the opponent tunnel trogg.Also if you have a decent hand you can keep execute to deal with the 4 mana 7/7
VS Renolock
Small time bucaneer and fairy dragon are good keeps we want to have as much attack power on the board as early as possible dont keep fiery war axe execute can be considered and an early frothing berserker can win you games just keep in mind thar we have so many heavy weapons that even if opponent renos if we have an imposing board we can easily still win
VS druid
Same as warlock you want your high attack minions to pressure his life again execute can be a keep, also fairy dragon is amazing in this matchup because druid cant deal with it.
Vs Dragon Priest
again hight attack minions are a keep fairy dragon is pretty bad since both the welp and the 2/4 taunt deal with it easely alexstrasza champion usually trades 2 for 1 in the early turns if you play frothing try to set him to 4 attack so he cant be dealt with fiery was axe is not the dream but still a good keep
VS rogue
We want to kill him fast before he can do his miracle stuff execute is a must and the only reason i have it in the deck exept for ancient of war an early van cleef can be devastating. N'Zoth first mate is perfect since he deals with the early rogue pirates same as ghoul fairy dragon is also an option if you have first mate in your hand
Vs Reno priest
Honestly i havent played against many of them but its usually the same mulligan as with dragon priest since they also play with dragons
For finley if we play against controll decks 70% of the time warlock hero power is better than hunter hero power followed by mage and then druid.If we are facing an agressive deck some times is better to not even play finley if we draw him later in the game try to avoid warlock hero power if you play him tho since usually the opponent is trying to rush us down so the priority should be hunter hero power followed by mage and druid.Against rogue warlock hero power is good but hunter is better since the matchup most of the time ends before we run out of cards.
Theese should be all the matchups if i missed anything or you have any questions ask in the comments i will try to reply to all of them
I'm playing this in NA Wild this month (Feb 17), and it is no slam dunk. It can be inconsistent in the early game. It is destroyed by Anyfin Paladin. Struggling to get past 15.
im not playing this deck anymore the deck as you said is inconsistent and is struggling against the more refined decks it was fine during the first season of the expansion tho :)
because we have only 4 weapons and since we have those so inconsistently he becomes a 1 mana 1 2 and with this setup i feel i summon patches often enough with 3 pirates
you still keep nzoth first mate since he was played also in the old lists pre gadgetzan you put 1 dlood to icho and ko kron or slam
Good deck, I think this deck is strictly better than pirate warrior
currently in legend ladder since its populated with rogues and renolocks pirate warrior is a bit better atm since it kill people faster
Thank you so much much for posting this deck.
I hit legend for the first time ever a few days ago, and am currently sitting around rank 400.
I feel like this this deck is still in a very good position in the meta since you are bigger than the Aggro decks, but still can kill faster than the Control decks can find Reno.
I'll be posting a full write-up soon on Reddit and definitely link back here.
Fix the guide man, unstable ghoul rotated out of standard a long time age :D
ohh gj noticing the typo :)
Awesome deck thanks for sharing! Some games just have a crazy curve and autowin, and the deck has much more sustain mid-late then the smorc pirate warr
How the hell do you beat Dragon Priest with this deck?
It's the only match-up that I'm having trouble with.
this last week im not rly playing this deck since im working on another deck but i can see now that the dragon priest list has been improved you may have some trouble but your win condition is get the board early at any cost if you do that you should win 100% the problem is they have turn 4 5 good powerspikes so try using execute on those execute to catch up on tempo also frothing schould be a key component alexstraza champion is incredible since it trades so well with the turn 1 2 minions of the priest .hope this helps you a bit
Got me legend for my first time. Great deck thanks! Nothing like using a deathwing on an auctioneer and an 18/18 van cleef.
you made my day with this comment,seeing other people succeeding with my list makes me happy gj on your first legend :)
Cool deck man!
I have not yet gotten value of the execute and want to replace it.
What do you preffer? Blood to ichor or Kor'kron maybe?
go for blood to ichor that was the card i replaced for execute . i started playing execute only because oof rogues and 4 mana 7 7 if you dont encountwer those you can remove execute
try alex or grommash if you go for grommash add 1 blood to ichor and remove 1 ghoul
honestly or just go full pirate or go tempo warrior in wich you replace all the dragon engine and you put ko kron malkorok varian ragnaros bloodhoof brave ecc you will be playing a different deck.You cannot play dragon warrior since you will be missing core cards of the deck that are unreplacable
i dont have Twilight Guardian , replace?
i guess hungry dragon but twilight dragon is rly important you will feel the difference
