The pirate deck Lifecoach1981 used on Jan 28th to go from rank 25 to 5 in 4.5hrs on his twitch stream on the Asian servers. Check out his twitch for the archive of videos & tips.
I've played a few different pirate deck variants and have to say this version performs better without Hobart Grapplehammer, Grommash Hellscream, Leeroy Jenkins or even Mortal Strike. I guess since it encourages a few extra turns holding minions on the board it's a bit better against control decks or hybrid aggro.
MULLIGAN & TACTICS VS. MOST CLASSES
You generally want to go face straight away, so your ideal first turn would comprise of a [card]N'Zoth's First Mate[/card] to give you [card]Patches the Pirate[/card] on the board along with a weapon ready for your weapon synergy cards like [card]Small-Time Buccaneer[/card]. With the coin you just combo that with [card]Small-Time Buccaneer[/card] or Southsea Deckhand.
Don't underestimate the need for a weapon early on with this deck, so don't be greedy with a hand full of minions when it's important to get [card]N'Zoth's First Mate[/card], Fiery War Axe or failing that at least an [card]Upgrade![/card] in your hand.
You'll generally start to win by overwhelming the opposition with a strong board. Don't be afraid to take out a few enemy minions early on to keep control and don't be afraid to use your [card]Upgrade![/card] or Bloodsail Cultist on a 1/3 Rusty Hook, as you can end up with a strong, controlling low mana weapon that way.
Incase you're not familiar dont forget Dread Corsair is only 1 MANA with a Fiery War Axe or 0 MANA with an Arcanite Reaper
[card]Sir Finley Mrrgglton[/card] is a great value 1 drop, and his hero power switch to Warlock (Draw a card & take 2 damage) or Hunter (Deal 2 damage to the enemy hero) can be really effective.
This deck is NOT super effective late game so you ideally want to win the game by turn 6-8.
MULLIGAN & TACTICS VS. SHAMAN
The Mulligan is really important against aggro shaman, you'll need to aim for a Fiery War Axe to take out their early Tunnel Trogg's and also a [card]Heroic Strike [/card] to take out their [card]Totem Golem[/card]. Avoid spamming minions too early until those threats are clear or you'll get overwhelmed if anything like a Flamewreathed Faceless drops.
Don't be afraid to resist playing a minion if you don't need to, as Shaman's can easily clear board with a Lightning Storm so it's useful to have a backup minion or two.
MULLIGAN & TACTICS VS. MAGE
Be conscious of the Mage's hero power taking out your [card]Southsea Deckhand[/card], so mulligan in favour of [card]Small-Time Buccaneer[/card].
Watch out for Flamestrike at turn 7.
Reno mage is generally a really unfavourable matchup if they get their Reno Jackson but with a strong weapon & board it can be won.
REPLACEMENTS
There arn't specific replacements but try any of [card]Mortal Strike[/card], [card]Abusive Sergeant[/card] or [card]Argent Horserider[/card] or even [card]Dire Wolf Alpha [/card] or [card]Loot Hoarder[/card]
VIDEOS
Here's some highlights from LifeCoach's Youtube:
you can try with good repleace, but its good to have him from my exp. :))
I love this deck. Sank some money into this game and I'm only missing patches. Went on a win streak for my first time but absolutely get destroyed by dragon priest. Any advice?
My advise is when you know it is a dragon priest, save time and just concede.
You're actually right. This deck only handles when RNG is in your favor.
7/14 it might just be me {:
There's also no way you climbed lower ranks with this. I get destroyed by everyone I play. Youtube vids only show wins. What about the severe losses? It's not how I play. it's just that this deck doesn't handle RNG well. Sure it's amazing when it works out but if you're not ending the game past 4-5 turns your'e done for.
nah pirate warrior has advantage over priest, depend on your draws
I must just not be mulligan'ing right. That's my biggest problem with this game. Seems like if you don't finish within 4-5 turns you're kinda done. But I also like to go all in with my cards which I'm learning not to do.
I had it also without Patches, but as soon as i crafted it, the luck startes changing, those damages that Patches can do are decissive.
My recommendation: Craft Patches
Thanks hearthpwn, everyone knows that this cancerous shit deserve a spotlight
Yep... Small-Time is cancer.
1 Mana 3/2 that summons a 1/1 with charge. That like 3 mana worth of stuff on turn 1. This deck is cancer.
Damn fill Hearthpwn with more trash decks would ya?
idk which version better between this one or coexist, but just little different between it
pirate warrior make me rank 5 in this season 35 just in 5hours, but mine is coexist version, i think this version can make it as well
this is my gameplay climbing rank 4 :) I think you can adjust your match up with the deck, this version stable one, other faster

recommended mulligan for each class?
Added above
Can someone post some notes how to handle the common ladder decks that are shaman?
Im basically at 50% WR vs mage and lock(5-5 & 4-3) and completely crushing on all other classes (10-1 druid 6-0 priest 5-2 rogue) but i am around 40% vs shaman which wouldnt matter except I have more match ups vs shaman than druid + priest + rogue + pal + hunter combined.
Would help me alot I feel like I am making mistakes but cant place exactly what they are.
Thank you

I used to have some respect for Lifecoach, now he's playing this sh*t for 2 months .......
How guilty should I feel for playing with this deck and getting some insane wins?
