This is the deck i used to climb from rank 2 to legend (11 wins-1 loss) and that i'm still using at rank legend (currently 4 wins-1 lost). Even though most people don't like aggro decks, pirate warrior is still one of the most powerful archetypes. In wild you can find different types of pirate warrior but the one i'm most confident with is the classic one. If you want to make the deck stronger (but slower) you can consider to run a couple of piloted shredder, a dr. Boom or a Loatheb but in the current meta I dont think these changes are actually needed.
At the moment i'm rank 14 legend (on EU server)
The declist reached 30 likes so here is the decklist guys, clearly pirate warrior is not hard to play but a beginner could be unsure about what to do in certain situations ^^
MULLIGAN:
With coin: keep all 1 and 2 mana cards but patches, heroic strike and upgrade. If you don't have ship's cannon in your hand and you play against a deck which can deal 1 damage with hero power you can mulligan southsea deckhand.
Without coin: keep all 1 and 2 mana cards but patches, heroic strike and upgrade.
When you play pirate warrior (im talking about wild) your main goal is not to immediatly deal all the possible damage to your opponent since if you do so you will likely be on turn 5 without any resources or pressure on the board. What you have to look for is board pressure: you can keep it in early turns (but the game isn't thought to last long LOL) by trading enemy minions with your weapon or with ship's cannon's effect. Often it's worth not to play a single minion until turn 2 or 3 just to be able to fully take advantage of the "ship's cannon+1 mana pirate" combo. Until you have a strong control on the board i suggest you not to rush face with your minions: in 80% of cases trading is a better idea in turns 1,2 or 3.
REMEMBER:
Don't waste your weapon's durability on your opponent's face unless if you calculated you need it to have lethal or you have enough mana to play another wepon next turn.
The best moment to play frothing berserk is when your board is full (so remember to load it the turn before) because this way your opponent might wait to use an AoE to clear your board and if he can he will surely remove the berserk first (so he'll waste so many resources).
If you have any questions just ask in the comments below and i'll come to reply ^^
At the moment wild pirate warrior has still no rivals strong enough to be considered it's counters so enjoy the ladder!! ^^ (your opponen't won't hehe)
Hope this brief guide can be useful. I just hope there won't be so much flame into the comments, i hate it. I don't see why you should make a fool of someone just because he likes a different playstyle (i know, it's stressful and bla bla bla). Anyway, if you appreciated leave a like and if you didnt leave a dislike (just dont flame lelel) ^^
hi any update like the hydra or anying plz ?
Now it's no longer a strong meta deck. If you are looking for a good aggro deck i suggest you shaman, humter or token druid. I've not seen people playing this deck so far
ok ty
How would you play this in standard?
In standard it's way weeker but still playable. My version is with two mortal assault, two southsea captain and a small time buccaneer. You can also add a captain greenskin if you like him
can we replace Patches The Pirate?
It might be the most important card of the deck but if you cant craft him, captain greenskin, a second heroic strike or a southsea captain will be good
Second southsea captain or second heroic strike. You can also consider to add a tech card
This deck loses to Druid Cthun, Secret Mage, Reno Mage, Reno Lock. Basically all deck from current meta.
cthun druid and renolock? lol
I haven't bought Leeroy Jenkins yet and I have been using Reckless Rocketeer instead. As a replacement for Leeroy in this pirate deck should I be using my reckless rocketeer or my Skycap'n Kragg? And how many games are won because of the difference between Leeroy and the rocketeer?
The rocketeer is so bad compared to leeroy. If you have intention to keep playing pirate warrior (or any aggro deck) i suggest you to craft him. Anyway kragg is better than the rocketeer because you can play it on turn 4 or 5 if you have a decent board.
I have been playing this deck for one month now, every time I play Leeroy I ask myself if it would make a difference to have Reckless Rocketeer instead, most of the time the answer is "no". Maybe Leeroy will give you an additional victory every 100 games or so... I would not craft it (actually I was playing reckless rocketeer first, then I just got Leeroy in a pack :)).
the huge difference is on turns 8/9, when you want to play something else with leeroy. The additional 1 mana cost of the rocketeer makes those situations much more difficult to handle (because on those turns you often look for a fast finish)
rank 25 to 10 (only 2 hours)
gvg memories.. Ship's Cannon <3
Gg man, anyway I dont think that losing burst damage to gain late game pressure on the board is actually worth it
Went from rank 5 to legend with your deck for the first time! Tried a few different versions of PW, but liked yours better. Thank you!

Great job man, see you in ladder this month ^^
Is there a good reason why Captain Greenskin instead of Naga Corsair is worse ? I mean,besides the obvious mana curve the 1 durability clearly has a better impact vs some other decks.
I've never tried captain greenskin because i dont own it but it looks like a very strong card. Maybe the reason naga corsair is better is because when you are on turn 8/9 have 1 more mana is very impactful (idk if impactful is actually an english word but whatever xD), moreover you will more likely be able to take advantage of ship' cannons's effect if you play a turn 4 pirate. Anyway today the new ranked season began, at the moment i'm rank 13 and as i was facing a huge quantity of pirate warriors i substituted the naga corsair for a golakka ^^
