Indeed I think I might handle the deck as too simplistic, rarely thinking about ideal play, sometimes vomiting to much overload.
Another explanation might be that I rarely play Shaman. For reference I have 20 ranked wins with Shaman, compared too 200-400 ranked wins with Warrior, Mage, Paladin, Hunter, Druid, and Warlock each, meaning I have more experience with those classes maybe (I play this game for 2 years now).
I will try to Improve with Shaman, maybe with a more Midrangy approach, or control. Thanks anyway.
Frankly I am more concerned about Brann Bronzebeard rotating out, it is a much handier tool in not just singleton decks (double Kazakus, hello), but in several other decks based on Battlecries. Reno is just a lifegain which can be replaced eventually, but Brann has a rather unique effect. I am a bit surprised no one is concerned about him, but flipping Reno Jackson.
Shaman is arguably the best class of the meta, this is usually a fact for everyone. However I simply cannot perform well with Shaman decks.
When one-one and a half year ago Shaman was in a shitty position it was understandable, but even at its peak it seems when I pick Shaman to play I am simply out tempod and utterly crushed but other players.
I've tried Face Shaman an hour ago and I was crushed 4 times out of 5 games. (By Pirate Warrior, Midrange Shaman). I simply run out of steam and I also have a problem coordinating overload cards. Also the opponent always have an answer, making my overload turns pointless.
It seems everyone and their cat can pilot Shaman but I can't. It is utterly confusing because I can pilot various control decks, Freeze Mage, generally more complicated decks, but not Shaman with overload management. How should I improve?
Why not Cult Master ? I think this deck needs more card draw, Starving Buzzard is not that great I think, but even if you keep it, you might want to include Cult Master, maybe in place of Infested Wolf which is mediocre compared to Rat Pack?
Reno mage is definitely fun, one of my favorites, but I am not a huge fan of this meta with only one viable deck in both Mage and Warlock (none in Hunter and Paladin). Although it would be foolish to print all these fun cards like Inkmaster Solia (which is considered sub-par for Reno Mage many times anyway), just to erase the whole singleton concept in HS. I would really appreciate Reno in classic, but if he has to go, maybe we see some new viable Mage archetype.
I wish so much to have a Hunter deck which is finally functional in this meta, but it seems we won't see any until next expansion. Better luck in Wild.. :/
I'd definetely pick Bloodmage, that one is sure. Personally I'd also craft Alex but if you enjoy Rogue, Edwin is safe. Mandatory card in all the Rogue decks (I hate playing Rogue, still I have Edwin - that is how great he is.) But Thalnos is the single best Legendary imo.
Biggest mistake was: Raza the Unchained - I couldn't use him since the Reno Priest deck proved to be too lackluster.
Best craft: Patches - Crafted him one or two days after the expansion launched, using him in all kind of decks (even in Hunter in Wild) with great success. He is broken.
Otherwise:
Slyvanas - Crafted one, then opened a golden Sylvanas a few packs later. Gosh. -.-
At least in Wild Hunter is still viable, so I can finish my 500 rank wins with the class. Also its viability in Wild shows how a single cheap Weapon allows Hunter to implement Patches, making a completely viable deck against Shamans, Reno decks, Miracle Rogue.
I hope Hunter will receive some good cards next expansion, although I think I will reach Golden Hunter in Wild even under these circumstances.
Great deck, really love the all in pirate synergy with Ship's Cannon, I will definetely try this out tomorrow (So far I used a more traditional Face Hunter deck in Wild, only including Buccaneer, Deckhand, and Patches, of course. I will give this one a shot too.) Thanks for the deck list. :)

Thank you, all of you for the answers.

Not a bad one, but RNG dependent. Good for doing quests quickly.

Easy way to do my quests, nothing less, nothing more..

Regardless I wish to see that guide. :)

Patches the Pirate because he is always in charge NOW with me. :3
(Also I am pretty sure he loves hentai.)

I had the greatest fun with Reno Mage due to its flexibility and fun factor, wrecking all those Warriors and Shamans.

It was an easy brawl but I had fun at least, which is the most important. Since the opponent is AI no challnge would have been really tough guys.
On the other hand, if the Dark Wanderer were controlled by another player, entirely different story.

From the latest expansion:
Biggest mistake was: Raza the Unchained - I couldn't use him since the Reno Priest deck proved to be too lackluster.
Best craft: Patches - Crafted him one or two days after the expansion launched, using him in all kind of decks (even in Hunter in Wild) with great success. He is broken.
