Is it worth the tech? Golakka Crawler is a decent tech card, but it seems to me not powerful enough to turn the tempo of a well drawn Pirate Warrior. It has extra use in the miracle and quest Rogue match ups, but it does seem low impact.
I've won and lost games against Pirate Warrior with and without the crawler. What's the general consensus? Deserves a spot in Midrange Hunter, for example?
In the vast majority of games it will be just a river crocolish and that's a bad card .
On the few games you actually face pirated there is no guarantee that you will actually draw it before it's too late . (That's because pirate warrior either kills you by turn 7 - 8 or you probably win anyway) . So according to math you have 7 draws out of 30 to get your golakka to actually be impactful . That's not so high .
In conclusion golakka is just an "I wanna high roll !" card.
It's bad in most matchups and even in the matchups where is supposed to win you the game it's not likely to actually draw it on time .
If you hate pirate warrior I think the new weapon killer that gives you armour is better because it's useful in more games including taunt warrior, paladin and even mage with mediv.
It's mostly good in decks where you already have Beast synergy for it like Midrange Hunter or Aggro Druid, but it's also in some Midrange Paladins (Curator Synergy) and Quest Rogue's just to beat up on Pirates.

Golakka needs a buff honestly Kappa
Eat all Pirates on board.
G=Good B=Bad Do you see the pattern? Every second expansion is always trash.
G: Goblins V Gnomes , Old Gods, unguro
B: TGT, gadgetzan, Knights (Unreleased so MAYBE)
O think it's not worth it .

It's nice to have in midrange hunter, have it alongside Mr. Crabs. Both beast synergy and when you eat a 3/4 bloodsail cultist it feels great.
