*Updated my deck a while back but neglected to update here. Put in Heroic Strike for the nerfed buccaneers and decided Death's Bite is worth using to keep the weapon chain going and pump up our Frothing Berserker. Crafted the 2nd Southsea Captain.
Pirate warrior has plenty of tools to succeed in Standard, but can be even better in Wild because of Ship's Cannon providing some bonus damage and improving the pirate synergy. Almost half of our deck is pirates and we have 6 weapons, so activating Bloodsail Cultist is fairly likely, giving you an extra swing and extra damage.
This is a face deck, so be aggressive. Try to use your weapons to remove taunts and dangerous minions. Think of the game as a race you are likely to win. Don't waste damage on small minions except to protect your own. I went 12-3 in initial testing and found I can hit rank 5 quickly and reliably. Over the past few seasons I have gone 42-18 (exactly 70% win rate) as you can see below. The current decklist is 21-8 (72%).

Mulligan Tips
Mulligan for pirates and either Fiery War Axe or Upgrade!.
Always keep N'Zoth's First Mate and Small-Time Buccaneer.
Keep Ship's Cannon with the coin.
You can keep Sir Finley Mrrgglton with the coin and a pirate. Choose hunter, warlock, mage, or druid hero power.
Never keep Patches the Pirate, obviously.

Hoist the sails and have fun! Your comments and suggestions and feedback are always welcome. Don't forget to up-vote if you like it!
For my latest Dragon Pirate Warrior deck for use in Standard, see: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/582228-dragon-pirate-warrior
One recent result just for fun. Can you figure out how this happened?
Note: The warlock is dead even if he uses Hellfire! My weapon is a 4/1, the berserker would become a 7/4, and the warlock would go down to 11 health.
Tracking at a 65% win rate according to HSReplay. Still a top 10 deck the week after the nerf.

This deck gets shit on by every class. taunts end this deck
vS says this deck is still the king of the wild meta. Sorry to hear you haven't learned to play it well yet. Keep practicing.
If you encounter a lot of taunts you can tech in a Spellbreaker. But with ample weapons and control of the board, you don't always need one to remove taunts.
Any good replacements for Sir Finley and Leeroy Jenkins? I have all of the other cards but those seem like somewhat essential pieces of the deck.
They are unique cards. You can try subbing Mortal Strike for both. Some people use Reckless Rocketeer as a budget Leeroy. Also some people find good use for Spellbreaker in this deck.
You're right about the extra card. The opponent played a deathlord rather than a dirty rat.

Yeah, normally we want to save weapons for minions, but we don't always finish the charges on the weak weapons as we might replace with a war axe or reaper, so just ask yourself if you are likely to have extra charges and if so, always swing.
Grats on the 6-3 run!
after nerf what sustitue for small time buccaneer?
I know it's an old comment, but I've had a lot of success with this deck using cutting the two Small-Time Buccaneer for either of these, depending on the meta you're facing:
+2 Golakka Crawler (or +Golakka Crawler & +Acidic Swamp Ooze)+Bloodsail Corsair & +Heroic StrikeMix & match using strong cards like Dr. Boom, Loatheb, and/or 1-2x Piloted ShredderToo slow for the metaEdit: Added stats for bullet #1 & adj. the other two.
Heroic Strike or Argent Horserider work in that slot.
Great deck! Ran this version of Pirate Warrior from 25-Legend in just over 2 days of playing.
Glad to hear of your success. I am 25-6 with the deck this season.
To those that dont have leeroy, do not worry my friends. Use Loatheb instead. Can avoid heavy aoes and kazakus
Went 10-1
Ranks 14 down to 10. Very quick games!
21-3 now
Up to Rank 7
Yes, I had a lot of win streaks up to rank 5. Pirates are OP in wild.

sorry, i think other pirate deck ;) or have you changed cards?
