The problem with Pirate Warrior it forces you to build your deck to counter it.
I tried pushing hard with Reno Priest, with different variants of OTK and Dragons. The OTK version lacks consistent early game, so the Warriors wreck it too often. The Dragons are fun, but are simply no match vs Warlocks.
Of course there's Dragon Priest which is quite good. It does well vs most of meta, although the more refined Jade Druids seem to overcome this.
Eventually I switched to Renolock, which I have barely played before, and it indeed fairs very well in the meta. At least until there will be too many Renolocks that people will switch to Hunters ;)
Never hit legend before. Got to 4 stars Rank 1 before epically losing 4(!) games in a row. Now I'm sitting at 0 stars rank 1 and questioning my entire existence.
Played 12 games on my lunch break. 7-5. It is especially discouraging because I went 6-1 before going 1-4. Haha, this game is brutal. Seeing a lot of Renolock, Pirate Warrior, and Jade Druid.
Just hit Legend. It wast pretty fast this season, probably because the meta became faster and I didn't use Control decks by myself.
Played with Dragon Pirate Warrior (slightly modified Lifecoach version) from Rank 16 to 3 with 124-85 (59% wr) and with Aggro Shaman that everyone's playing atm (it's called Spo version iirc) from 2 to Legend with 29-18 (62% wr).
Finally hit rank 5, which should be enough for me this month as can't play as much during the latter part of the month. Was stuck on rank 6 since Saturday, no matter what deck I played I always stuck at 50% winrate. Today was no different, 4-4 at first, but then went on 4 win streak. Most satisfyingly the final boss was a pirate warrior that I dominated with a jade druid. I should've hit 5 way earlier, but I lost several games to pirate warriors, by allowing them an unnecessary lethal. (Typically playing too fast after stabilizing and accidentally triggering their mortal strikes.)
In climb time this is only behind my try hard month in October, when I hit rank 5 on the ninth. Played way too much enjoying the fresh meta. Used 12 decks on the way. Paladin and shaman didn't fit the mix, so should go test, if paladin is as bad as they say. Faced only 5 of them out of all most 200 matches, hunters seem to be even worse as met only 2. (The hunter deck I tested was the only one that didn't gain me stars any stars, but lost 4 instead.)
Thank you to all the priest (80% WR) and warlock (70% WR) players you carried me here.
Wow you can beat a pirate warrior with the Jade Druid? haha its a very tough match to even stay alive to get to turn 5 haha. Good stuff, and congrats on Rank 5 :)
Also, you had a 70% WR against Reno Locks? That's pretty awesome, because they tend to beat the Jade Druid I find. Good stuff man

Congrats! I also reached rank 5 some minutes ago with a modified version of Dogs Reno Mage. It does pretty well against pirate warriors and renolocks.
Oh wow and congrats to you as well! So, the Reno Mage can perform well on the ladder then? Do you have a link for the deck you are using?
Turn 9, Aviana + Innervate + Kun + Brann + C'thun buffs + C'thun + brewmaster to return it to your hand and repeate or save for next turn after ice block mage.

How do everyone get to legend??? I'm stuck at rank 10. Doesn't matter what deck I play it loses to jade decks and pirate warrior.
Thanks for the info, and a big congrats again :)
Hit legend with my modified c'thun warrior to fit the meta.

This is so fun to play, just found it on YT.
Turn 9, Aviana + Innervate + Kun + Brann + C'thun buffs + C'thun + brewmaster to return it to your hand and repeate or save for next turn after ice block mage.
I've been playing the aviana kun cthun since I stumbled upon it and its amazing.
Its so good against all the renolocks out there and reno priests/ mages
They dont see it coming ;)
Here is the list I used to hit legend this season. C'thun warrior with a few card changes.

What's your w/r with C'Thun Warrior, really? How can it ever work i current meta?

2 doomsayers + feral rage 8 buffs help slow down aggro decks
what decks do you think it loses to? I noted rogue and druid as the difficult match ups on my deck page.
I changed a few cards to fit the meta
