Reno Mage. Dog got Legend (rank 2) with it earlier today. Great counter to the pirate shenanigans.
I wonder if Mistress of Mixtures will end up seeing play in Dragon Priest, I recall Zombie Chow was played in Dragon Priest pre-Standard and hitting an early drop with Talonpriest is an absolutely insane opening at the moment but having more non-Dragons will lower the consistency when fishing for activators.

Mistress of mixtures... kinda weak cause of patches. 3 hp of zombie chow turns out to be much more valuable than self healing I think.
Crafted Patches plus Leeroy and went 22-6 with Pirate Warrior. I'm now sitting at rank 5 and it's just the 3rd of the month/season.
I genuinely think that Blizzard fucked up there, this deck is so OP and I can't believe I am already done ranking for the month. Leeroy isn't even needed, he won me just two or three games, that's how broken the deck is.
Needless to say I feel dirty, extremely dirty, I think I'll go take a shower.

I'm guessing dragon Warrior or token druid.
Playing around Mirror has always been common for random secrets, it should be the same basic strategy.
I suppose the card is still too new for people to play around it.
I got the card off Chemist (he could easily have tracked that in my hand).
Been having a great time in the rank 16-14 area. There are a few pirate warrior, but it is pretty interesting overall.
Jade Druid can pull off some disgusting turns. I wasn't too into Maly Druid, but I can see why it is a lot of fun to play.
Rogue isn't clicking with me, in terms of winrate, but I've enjoyed my time with it.
I've experimented with Patron Warrior using Goon Buffs and it does very well vs. Pirate Warrior (still get killed on turn 4 sometimes though)
Jade Shaman is actually a lot of fun. I avoided Shaman while it was 50% of the meta and now it is good to be back.
My favorite deck might turn out to be some variation of Reno Warlock though. Damn there are a lot of ways to build it.
I'm experimenting with Cho'gall and, unlike after his release, he is absolutely surpassing expectations. Sergeant Sally is also good for an extra board clear. Too early to say if either of those will remain in my list but they are fun.
Savjz has a cool Krul Reno list - I don't have him yet - so I might try Stancifkas deck later. I think the Leeroy Combo might be the best way to beat much of the meta right now despite doing well with my current comboless list.

once again I find myself going striahgt into an aggro deck to climb the ladder more easily. There's just no counter play to priest theyt can just peek into your deck and now pick yer card at will. Not OP but annoying along with Entomb
I wouldn't mind running a more thoughtful control deck but its just not right to put all your hard work into building a nice, hard to play greedy deck and get spanked by a priest and I have no idea to tech against. Unlike MtG style games I cant 'block' Entomb/Silence/etc
So crafted Patches. screw everyone on this ladder yo I'm enjoying these fast instawins.
(once I get back to rank 15 where Priests more rare I go back to Control)
I like a lot of the mechanics there but I have way too much fun in HS

what needs nerfing with pirate warrior is actually usage increase in weapons. There's no world I should be hit by a 8/3 arcanite reaper 3 times after already getting hit for 6 once by it.
I am running heals, taunts, weapon removal, boardwipes, low curve minions and am still getting bursted down from 20+. Unless you make an anti deck your draws are just not going to be as consistent.

Turn 4 win.

Played reno control priest from r23 to r16 and boy am I having fun. I tend to lose more often than win vs jade decks but otherwise I have a very good chance to win. It remains to be seen how well I will do one month from now but for now it's all good.
Priest, warlock and paladin are quite rare on the ladder at these ranks.

Paladin burnbrittle seem like good pirate war counter if they can buff him a little (with all those hand buffs). I didnt get him from a pack but he seems pretty good for pally fans
oh shat I forgot to put Hobart in this pirate deck I'm so bad. hobart was 1st legend I got from a pack
(nvm I have him here he just never ever comes out)

Turn 7, but they had removal and/or taunt every turn, they had a perfect defensive hand and still lost.
2 mana muster for pirats.
this is why I am thinking Paladin is equipped to deal with Pirate Warrior? (I lost to a well played one just earlier but I'm no Warrior expert they my least played class on ladder)
But Rogues are frakked with no Taunt. Although I wonder would a Pirate rogue work with some deadly poisons

Anti decks don't work, I could make my deck to beat warrior every time but then I'd lose to everything else out there. Where I'm at right now is that the matchup would be good if my draws were more consistent but the only way to make it so would dilute the deck otherwise.
I dunno burnbristle looks really tight. I will craft him at some point if he doesn't get unpacked in a few weeks
WTF how do you feel remorse with that?!?!

My Goonies Paladin is doing quite well for me.
Even Turn 4 isn't that hard.

that's a 1 in 30, I love him but he's speed bump against pirate warrior and nothing else.
dang never did craft leeroy and now I regret it

Abyssal Enforcer is an insane common card. Warlock seems top tier in the new arena.

Found the pirate warrior nerf
actually faring much better with my tempo mage atm than my pirate war. Its a typical tempo mage with manic soulcaster to copy things 
I used to go to Wild to run Duplicate. glad i dont have to go there anymore to play around with duping things on a mage. can just stay on standard ladder
edit- my pirate warrior has hobart & patches but missing leeroy/brassknuckles so that might be the extra win more i am missing and due to lack of experience with Warrior.

ahaha redemption and getaway kodo a sludge belcher, why thank you opponent.
wait, you're saying Dog got legend with a deck that isn't pirate Warrior in a ladder full of pirate Warriors? B-but how, pirate Warrior is the most unbeatable and OP deck ever created, you can tell because some gaffers managed to climb out of their rank 20s with it.
he must have used hacks

people make legend with basic decks.
I still remember my first one and it was from a Priest too which made me extra giddy. even took a screenshot and posted here
(granted I get rage friends all the time but I normally turn them down)
