My priest deck shits on pirate warriors, basically free wins.

Almost any control deck, freeze mage, reno decks if they had reno in hand by turn 6...the list go on, pirate warrior is not invincible 

 You can survive a scummy pirate deck by turn 6?

Just put a bunch of taunt cards in your deck.  Easy peasy.

It's not hard to beat pirate warrior, but the other popular deck is jade druid which wrecks control decks, so the meta currently implies that the matchups will be very one sided, which in turn leads to pretty boring games. It's a scissor/rock/paper situation, the matchup is more important than anything else, and it's a Bo1. Might as well play the fastes climbing deck in that case, meaning short games, meaning everybody and their mother play warrior. The prevalence of aggro on the ladder will never go away because of play time constraints as long as laddering requires an insane number of games monthly.

 with my experience the only times i have lost to pirate warrior is because i dont have reno in turn 6, just make sure you keep him in hand at the start of the game and you pretty much won

Reno decks are pretty good, but they lose to jade shit.

I can beat just about anything except for jade druid with pirate warrior. However, people are quickly getting wise to it. I went from like an 80% win rate the other night to maybe 50% last night. People are making counter decks and I'm sure pirate warrior will go the way of face hunter soon. If see even 1 taunt, I know my chances are bad, another taunt and I lost.

 problem is consistency. sometimes pw can have a bad start, usually when you dont draw a weapon until turn 3, but thats rare. slower decks just lose to pw, unless they have the perfect answers in the early turns. and tweaking the deck heavily against pw dilutes your other matchups.

one or two taunts are easy to stomp over with all the weapons. 

Ivory knight into lay on hands = Instant win

Um, anything but Miracle Rogue or Jade Druid? 

anyone can beat pirate warrior the only way you win with it is if u have perfect draw

In standard mid shaman (with double jinyu) work pretty well against pirate warrior, i'm about 70% winrate with it and in wild tempo mage completely destroys pirate warrior.

Here some decks that helped me get wins against PW

Aggro Shaman (outrace PW) 

Dragon Priest 

Evolve Shaman 

Menagerie Druid 

Some nice decks there i will give them a try!
