Hearthpwn

Hi, my first deck posted here, I have tons of fun with so you guys may too.

The goal of the deck is to use pirates and Hooked Scimitar to enable quick cycling through your deck with Cutting Class and Raiding Party to then cheat out Malygos with Shadow Hunter Vol'jin and burn spells (Eviscerate and Razorpetal Volley) to kill your opponent.

It's primarly a combo deck but the additon of pirates not only enables you to utilize an additional draw tool in a shape of Raiding Party to get the combo quicker, but also gives you a competetive tempo package, so that you can fight for board to survive to the combo turn. Another benefit is that nothing really gets stuck in your hand as you constantly spit pirates and maintain tempo. A lot of the times you can even win with just the tempo and going face with a weapon, or just using mini combo: Malygos->Razorpetal->Preparation->Eviscerate.
Once you run out of steam, you use Cloak of Shadows to survive untill the combo is ready.

When facing a slow deck you cannot beat via tempo, you don't draw well enough or just circumstances forced you to rely on full combo, remember to keep Dread Corsair or Foxy Fraud, your two 0-costed minions (Foxy discounts Eviscerate, so effectively costs 0 on a combo turn) to enable the best mama cheat, however, I rarely had to do it due to usually having somthing in board. Recklessly attacking with Hooked Scimitar is not recommanded as it's main purpose is to reduce the cost of Cutting Class and often Dread Corsair, so think twice before loosing its final durability.

I considered adding Patches the Pirate but I personally do not have it and it restricts the number of pirates you can draw from Raiding Party, as it just draws it self and the deck works fine without it, I encourage experimenting ;)

Setting up your combo, tacticly using resources like Preparation and Eviscerate choosing a strategy apropriate to the opponent and changing it when neeeded, as well as planning your draw and thinking about how to get the most value out of Secret Passage and Prize Plunderer can be a lot of fun and is really satisfying, so good luck and I hope you have fun c:
