I'll be posting my decklist tomorrow on this post. I have been playing a weapon warrior and it has been fairly successful with lots of fun combos!

Sorry about not posting sooner, but I have soo little time these days!

It's fine no rush. :)

Quote from Chaosnarr »

+1 now I pretty much like it :D would be happy about some testresults from you vs the current Metagame!

I'm going to buy some packs and Naxx in a few days, so I should get enough dust for Greenskin then I'll try it. :)

-2x Southsea Captain is not worth to play with just 3 other Piratecards in it. And im not very sure if Gorehowl is a good choice... your deck doesn't look like a controldeck and you already have a huge arsenal of weapons with you, Gorehowl is too slow for your deck I guess... better add a Warsong Commander and 2 Executes for the 3 cards... and since you dont run Shieldslam you could consider to remove the Shield Blocks as well and use maybe Battle Rage? 1 Mana less, more draw in most cases.

Will do.

Quote from Vertix »

Yea, as poster above said, Imo you should place execute or 2, you lack removal of huge things

I kinda don't understand Southsea Captains here You use 2 of them, while having only 3 others pirates (Bloodsail Raiders and Greenskin). There is really great place for Dread Corsair there, IDK what to swap them for

I removed the Captains for Executes, I'll do some messing around for the Corsairs.

Quote from Donkadocus »

You have to add 2 x execute

Good call!

Not bad at all! Very awesome pirates are awesome!

I just made a Weapon deck (2 Gores and 2 Arcanites). When 50/50 so far with some spectacular turns. 10 damage Bloodsail with charge and my +1/1 Gorehowl ! Dude never saw it coming!

I might give this a whirl tomorrow! I'll let you know how it goes.

Hey thanks dude, I appreciate it. :) I'm eager to know how it goes.

Hey, I'm game :D. My gamer-tag is: CookieCutter#6253, although I do live in Australia so my free time might not match up with yours. I also do you have Skype but if you don't like listening to pre-pubescent-14-yr-old-squeaky-voice then I suggest a pass on that.  

So I've always been a fan of gimmicky/fun decks that at least half-work, but I've never been able to make one that's decent due to lack of specific cards (why do all the fun cards have to be Legendaries or Epics, gawd). However, with the release of Naxxramas and gaining somewhat of a collection I'm quite close to making a Weapons + Enrage Warrior which might be fun. All I need is Captain Greenskin.

So the overall goal of the deck is to:

1. Pump out Enragers or cards that benefit from damage.

2. Control the board with Weapons.

3. Trigger your Enragers and smash face. 

But herein lies the problem, the deck as of now seems lacking. Of course I know I'm not going to win any tournaments with it, yet I still want to make the deck as good as it can be without ruining the theme.

So I ask you, fellow Hearthstoners, how would go about making this deck better, Now when sending a response please don't be a jerk about it and say something like "That deck is so bad, don't even bother trying. Instead use [Insert Deck Name Here]," or "w0w n00b $crub u (@nt 3v3n (0m uP wth g00d iDe@ go bck t00 (@$u@l," It helps nobody and I want the discussion to be civil, friendly and constructive :D. Anyway, thank you for reading and leaving any suggestions you may have have!

If PCP and PPC didn't automatically bring other things to mind I'd jump at either one (that said, they may still be the route to go).

Would anyone else be interested in a casual player's league?

I Googled PCP not knowing why it could be seen as bad. (Naive me is naive.) Well, now I know it's an EXTREMELY dangerous and illegal drug. How about that? 

Urband Dictionary definition of PCP: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=PCP (FYI I did go to more reliable websites to get a definition. This is just for fun. :P) 

I would like to do it, but I'm in Australia. I'm not sure how it would work.                                                                    

How about the PCP (Pacific Casual Players) League?                                                                                        

PPC (Pacific Players Casual) League??                                                                                                          

PP (Pacific Players) Casual League???                                                                                                              

PP League???? (Immature I know :P) 

Hey everyone, I'm happy to see how many have rallied to this thread. To be frank, I thought people would just say, "Ha newb," and move on. It's good to know that there are others out there, who face and understand our troubles.

EDIT: Oh and keep posting meme pictures, dey maike meh laff.

That's me, that's me! I play since the final release (not daily), have no spent real money, own two Legendaries (Leeroy and Tinkmaster), have never gotten past Rank 13 and my best Arena result was 9 wins. It is really tough to see progress if you don't have the cards to built the deck you want and if you can only play like 4 ranked games with a ~53% winrate. I have to admit that I am one of those Zoolock players that simply can't afford other decks and I always feel guilty whenever someone complains about Zoolock and I always feel ashamed whenever someone says how easy this deck is and I have lost 3 time in a row. Just like after I read your comment on Zoolocks. :D Actually, I would love to play some midrange/control deck because that fits my personal playstyle way better but without certain cards it's pointless. I should focus on Arena but I don't have that much gold to afford more than one run a day. Sob... at least I managed to get back again to 15 from 18 yesterday.

I've mostly given up on gaining ranks. I just get to 20 for the card back and do the odd arena run when I can be bothered. Also, zoolocks and the like aren't that bad, it just leaves a sour taste in my mouth when I die to some dumb Leeroy combo while I'm at 20 health and have board control. *Sigh* such is life I suppose.

Let's take a moment to commemorate the average player. We've all laughed at the newbies complaining about the stagnant meta or the 'overpowered' priests. We've all used the 99% win-rate decks of the streamers fuelled by sweet sweet Youtube and Twitch money. However, we never seem to acknowledge the medium-core Hearthstoners. The ones who aspire to be great only to realise that they don't have Rag. The ones who try their very best to get past ranks 15-5 only to be beaten and battered by scum-bag hunters and zoolocks. The ones who spends hours of life away from loved ones at gruelling night shifts in order to scrape up any money they can for packs that yet to hold one decent legendary. This thread is dedicated to them, so they may discuss their whims and woes to their hearts' content.

I am one of these people. I as a fourteen year old, has spent one hundred and fifty of my parents' hard-earned Aussie dollars on less than average packs (sorry mum and dad :/). I try to make fun and unique decks only to fall flat when I realise it'll never work without this card or that card. I follow Trump's arena guides to a tee but will never get past seven wins. So hear me average players! Let us celebrate our average...ness and share our stories of love and loss!

Quote from Nuba »

chance to get legend times change for that legend to be golden elevated to 5, I guess... maybe I am wrong
something close to (1%*5%)^5
which is: (0.01*0.05)^5=3.125*10^(-17)
which is 0,00000000000000003215
or 0,0000000000000003215%

Edit: i'll just go ahead and call it impossible.

Wow, that's so insignificant, I mean you probably have a higher chance of winning the lottery. I just hope that the day will come when RNGesus smiles upon a fortunate soul a gifts them that ultimate gift. The Internet will explode in jealousy and everyone who resides in it only wished it could have been them. It will be a glorious time.

I am genuinely curious as to what the actual statistics are. I would try to find it out myself but I'm lazy and maths is hard. :P
