Tech Choices:
-1 Arcanite Reaper, -1 Southsea Captain => +2 Mortal Strike or +2 Bash
Basically trading a bit of consistency with Ship's Cannon in exchange for better burst damage from hand. Mortal Strike gives you more damage at a higher cost while Bash is cheaper and gives you an edge against other aggro decks and the mirror due to the bonus armor gain.
-1 Fiery War Axe => +1 Spellbreaker
With the increasing popularity of Taunt effects (particularly Spikeridged Steed), there are a lot of situations where your opponent is at 6 or less Health yet they still lock you out of the game.
-1 Arcanite Reaper => +1 Captain Greenskin
This is one of the less common changes, but is one that to me seems like a great idea. It's an additional body to contest the board, and +1/+1 on a weapon is frankly a broken effect, so the more of them you can have the better. It's a pretty terrible topdeck though since without a weapon it represents no damage.
Any possibility of adding hydras to the deck?
Too slow for Wild. You don't want to clog your hand with dead draws in the early game.
Not a good idea. Death's Bite is the best weapon in the game bar none. Being 1 mana cheaper is a huge deal in this deck, and the Deathrattle AoE gives you a comeback chance against other board flood decks (Other Pirate Warriors, Aggro Druid, Aggro Shaman, Midrange Paladin).
IMO, Arcanite Reaper is the worst card in the deck, which is why it tends to be the first card that is removed when teching against certain things.
Heroic Strike is just too efficient at what it does. 4 damage for 2 mana is just insane, and in this deck cheaper is always better. However, I've actually wanted to try -1 Arcanite Reaper, +1 Mortal Strike for a while since it gives you a source of reach that can ignore Taunt.
