I'm not convinced that anybody will be playing the Rogue quest once the fun police come back. It is one of the least fun decks to play against they've ever had though. There's just nothing you can do to interact with what they're trying to do.

I'm 2-1 against them in games where they got the turn 5 quest with Murlocs. If Murlocs can smorc them then I'm pretty sure Pirate Warrior is never losing.

I'm not having any fun with this stupid Murloc deck either.

Seems like I should craft rogue quest; worst case it gets nerfed and I get my dust back. Watching it, its way easier to prock than I thought and really OP. How does pirate warrior do vs it?

They can't nerf the rogue quest. If they do, rogue has nothing.

http://metastats.net/ has been a fun site to see the win rates of the new decks. Pirate coming in right now at #1 fairly easily.

The rogue quest does seem really easy to proc, but thus far any face deck should be fast enough to beat it. I mean when their first four turns is just a bunch of 1/1s and maybe a brewmaster they get behind board pretty quick. I've had a few that draw the absolute nuts and still lost to hunter.

The deck that seems most challenging to deal with is Murlocs. The pressure is real.

Could not get a decent warlock quest to work. It is probably better suited to midrange or maybe even a Kazakus deck but then you are struggling to get the portal out. And with zoo there is so much variance and you are forced to tap to find your discards and just die.

Is it already time for pirate-crabs? I thought it would take a little longer for people to give up testing new decks and just run pirates. Guess not?

There is so much terrible **** in the world, but nothing makes me have less faith in humanity than the fact that people are already playing pirate warrior.

I've been running double crawlers in mid hunter, helps against rogues too. Drawbacks against non-pirates aren't as high in hunter either thanks to the beast tag and lack of non-situational 2-drops (grandmother surprisingly feels too slow a lot of the time, and other 2-drops require a board).

Yup

Initial impressions us Crackling Razormaw is awesome in hunter. Macaw or Alley cat into that is solid, or you can coin Gorlakka into Razormaw and just crush pirate warrior dreams so hard.

Remember when you played hunter and were like **** YEAH when you randed a priest opponent? Those were fun times.

I'm sure there's a better way to do this hunter quest but my god it sucks the way I have it now. Your hand is just empty by turn 6 all the time. And who knows how much card draw to put in because once you do hit the quest it becomes overkill.

razormaw is great but macaw feels really weak as a t1 play in a meta where everyone is either playing multiple pirates or a 1/2 firefly. Finding it hard to decide on a hunter list because there are like 50 cards you could fit.

The shell is
2x alleycat
2x macaw/firebat
2x razormaw
2x grandmother
2x crawler
2x animal companion (might not be good enough anymore)
2x kill command
2x houndmaster
2x highmane

After that I'm not sure.
0-2 bows
0-2 grievous bite
0-2 hydras
0-2 rocs (seem really good imo)
0-2 infested wolfs
0-2 rat packs (OP card if maelstorm portal didn't exist)
0-2 additional 1-drops
0-2 tol'vir warden (def included if you also run more 1 drops)
0-2 rhinos
0-2 hyenas
0-1 deadly shot/hunters mark
0-2 UTH
0-2 stampede
Swamp king dread?

Cloaked huntress and secrets seem too slow unless you are playing face hunter (which seems pretty strong too).

Yep same shell for me. Ive been using bows, grievous, one hydra, rat packs, two deadly shots, two hounds i think. Forget what else.

Two hyenas too.

Hydra is really interesting. Either it crushes or just forces an early removal turn by villain so you can keep up pressure with tokens and other stuff.

Ya, this is pretty oppressive, super annoying.

How does dirty rat interact? Doesn't count as played?

Yeah, dirty rat counters it as the quest is "play".

Was kinda surprised servant of yogg saron didn't count for quest mage, write up wise it seems like it should.

Then yogg would as well and I'm pretty sure it doesn't. The minion casts the spell not the hero. While it doesn't say specifically that the hero needs to cast it, I'm pretty sure that's the intention.
