Eh. Compare this to Fiery Cannonade. A three mana consecration that can be used in pirate aggro decks and I think you will see this is nothing like MTG design. Of course in Magic, pirates actually have abilities that allow them to raid, steal, and plunder. Hearthstone has some nice artwork, "yar har" voicelines and their only ability is to hit face, because you know. Hitting face is so fun and unique, no other tribe in Hearthstone does that.
Memedeck-seeker. Always tries to build new decks. Hates tournements, streamers, netdecks and poor-o players. ah, but a tournement mode could be great !!!
It's hard for me to imagine this card not being playable. I think it'll be very good with the potential to be game defining. A rogue only needs 2 pirates out to get serious value out of this card and if they have more, this card can singlehandedly devastate you.
I'm going to vote playable but likely will change to very good depending on future reveals.
Sharkfin Fan + Overkill mechanic + Cannon Barrage i can definely see the potential here, as a Pirate Rogue fan i'm really happy they are giving some love to the archetype. <3

Precisely how I feel. Pair this with Prep and you can even play the pirates turn 6 with this card.
The reason for the over costing of this card is due to the existence of preparation in rogue.
This card is deal 3 damage, then deal 3 more damage for each pirate on the board, easily misread! So summon a couple of pirates and you have a tasty 9 damage .
I don't see this card being played as "drop a bunch of low cost pirates on an empty board and then prep barrage", but as "I already have a bunch of pirates in play so I'll play barrage as a finisher".
The problem with that is that trying to have as many pirates on the board as possible plays into Spreading Plague quite a bit.
Could be playalbe in all-in Pirate Aggro with Preparation but you'd need to be able to consistently end games turn 5-6. Pirate Rogue doesn't seem to have that much aggressive power for now.
This is an Even card. Shark Fan is an even Card as well. So is Preparation. NO idea if it's good enough to see play, but it's sure as hell going to be fun

So a potential 24 damage with 7 pirates and 6 mana. A little unlikely but with 2 or more pirates this is already better than Avenging Wrath. I love it
21 damage for 6 in theory if you got full board of pirates.
Wild meme theory
2 Gang Up on Patches the Pirate. on t7 Southsea Deckhand + Cannon Barrage 21 damage to face if there is no minion on the enemy side of battlefield.

nah... this says random enemy. There's no way you don't use this for face damage.

Any hero that will count towards this card will also count towards Golakka Crawler, I don't think that's something you want.
dont think prep hof would solve the problem. you still need to draw prep.
they wouldnt print necrium vial for 2 or a new sprint for 4 mana even if we dont dont have prep.
LOL good point!
also gonna put this in my wild pirate rogue.
its gonna be good.
Could be good one

Potentially Playable card in a pirate deck imo.
Ponder around this scenario, even rogue.
Turn 1- hero power. Pass.
Turn 2- shark fin pirate and attack with hero power. 2 pirates on board. Opponent at 29.
Turn 3- attack with hero power (3 pirates), attack with other pirates, prep cannon barrage. Opponent at 13.
Maybe something to keep an eye on. “Thinking emoji”.
24 with 7 pirates. It already deals three dmg alone plus the net amount of pirates on board.
To bad it's not MINION but ENEMY, so it can be quite a hit and miss. Of course, it's overcosted as usual so it can be played with prep.

This is great for Even Rouge, which can already run Blooadsail Raider, Dread Corsair and Cursed Castaway. Even pirates will have their day! ;-)
