Yeah I know it's a bit late on the nerf. I believe there are a few other decks like this on the site, but here's my take.

A bit more Pirate than Divine Shield, mostly inspired by the new synergy of Small-Time Buccaneer and Steward of Darkshire (one-mana Scarlet Crusader is pretty good!), in addition to the combined Pirate/weapon and Divine Shield synergy of Rallying Blade. Southsea Deckhand and Patches the Pirate also receiving buffs from the Steward of Darkshire is additional synergy. I've found one of the biggest problems I faced was not drawing a weapon, at least early enough, so I believe having six of them is warranted. Captain Greenskin's the only way non-Warriors can get a durability increase.  Close to half of the deck is Pirates, which is more than enough for Southsea Captain. Handbuffs disable the Steward, so none of those. It's not competitively viable but I find it very interesting and enjoyable to play.

Consecration is another consideration, possibly in place of a Southsea Captain or Naga Corsair, but I feel that if you end up in a situation where it is useful, you've lost early-game board control and the game will prove difficult to win regardless.

Argent Lance and Light's Justice essentially sub in as replacements for the Fiery War Axe and N'Zoth's First Mate that make Pirate Warrior incredibly successful. Hoping Blizzard shows Paladins a little more love in terms of weapons next expansion.

I don't personally own Patches, so the version of the deck that I play replaces him with a second Argent Horserider and switches an Argent Lance for a second Light's Justice. A second one-mana weapon also improves Bloodsail Raider.

Alternative names: "Yo-Ho-Holy," "Divine Plunder," "Avast ye Righteous Dogs," etc. Pirate puns are painful.

This is my first time posting a deck, but I accept all criticism and critique...
