While I focused this video on Pirate Warrior, I think it's safe to say that the general principles apply to most pirate variations. Basically, pirates are here to stay for a good solid long while, and the reasons they are so good right now and will continue to be in the year to come primarily revolve around the increased synergy of cards from the last few sets.

An 11th reason I've continued to think of just now: Some people may play anti-pirate warrior decks (with tech oozes) these may still struggle. Even if you run two oozes, you're only 1/3rd as likely to draw an ooze as your opponent is to draw a weapon, meaning they're more likely to draw a second weapon than you are to draw an ooze.

Yeah sadly I agree with all of the points raised in the video. I do think the meta is already strongly starting to shift against it though. That being said with it being pretty cheap to craft, and pretty quick to play I can't really blame people for playing this cancer.

The purpose of the video is to explain in objective terms why pirates are so much more op now than they were before, even more so than aggro shaman. I'm not saying they are intrinsically healthy for the game or that you personally should play them.

Bottom line is, jade druid was taking me long enough to win a single game that I decided to try pirate warrior. 5 games won in the time of 2 jade druid games sounds like a good deal to climb the early ladder. Later I might just go back to druid, once I get to the better players.

Thanks for the feedback, I will try to make future videos shorter! :)
