Okay, hold on a second, beast hunter of any kind will just run 2 of these because its a 2 mana 2/3 beast that literally counters their worst match up. Even if the opponent doesn't run pirates, its still a 2/3 that can be taunted up for 4/5 easily and also gets effects from a million other things.
Play Southsea Deckhand, go face. Play crab, get 3/4. So 3 mana deal two damage 3/4 .... sounds fair. If patches in in your deck, then 3 damage 4/5 for 3 mana.
Really only super good against pirate warrior, but still great against any pirate deck at all (3/4 for 2 seems pretty good, i dunno if we have any examples of this :^))
You can have 2 at most of these cards..There are more than 10 pirates out there.This card simple take some tempo and aggro back but i don't think it will be played in a lot of decks..

This wouldn't see play even at the height of Pirate popularity.
I don't get why they print super narrow hate cards like these, they never see any play unless there are absolutely no other alternatives. In this case there are two excellent alternatives, Acidic Swamp Ooze and Harrison Jones. I'd even take the 4/3 Ooze over this to combat Pirates, since they are dead cards in far fewer matchups.
Maybe meta-defining in the old 50% pirate bucaneer package meta, no sane person would run this just to maybe counter a single deck while being a dead card versus everything else. After all the rage about pirates, i guarantee you we won't be hearing another yarrr for a while in the near future also. I don't see the value of this card, it's nothing devastating, like a tech choice should be a lot of the times, even if somehow you get the battlecry off, it's nothing special, shamans have been 3/4'ing turn 2 for years.

Will define the meta, Pirates will get off.
Then, they´ll become a vanilla 2/3.

This isn't anti aggro.

I would literally just run this in my own pirate deck.
Who said Totem Golem's leaving standard?

This card won't be the thing that stops pirates. If anything it will be all the new taunt minions they are introducing.
remember this card is a beast. so it can be played in druid and hunter without being terrible
I tried having fun once. It was awful.

Would have been nice about 3-4 months ago...
Finally some tools for hunter vs Pirates .
I'm afraid it will just be a pirate warrior buff, considering playing T1 N'Zoth's First Mate, followd by Patches the Pirate and this card T2..
Yeah that sounds about right.

Pirates taste like chicken!
If only Pirates were the real problem with Pirate Warrior.
Give us some monstrously efficient weapon removal, and quit taunting us with this garbage.
