    Pirate rogue

    Been playing a pirate rogue deck to get some dailies done as I didn't like the oil deck playstyle. Been going about 50/50 in the rat leagues but don't know if that is from synergy or people having no clue what I'm playing. Deck is currently as follows.

    Thinking I might swap out one of the assassin's blades for another sap. I don't not currently have captain greens kin or the sky Cap'n, or the captains parrot. I seem to run out of cards by turn 7 or 8 but think sprint would be far too slow, and any aoe larger than 2 just kills me. I'm not looking to take this deck to high rank just fiddling around with it some for some entertaining daily quests.

    lack of draw sinks that deck against anyone who paces themselves

    kind of sad, because pirates have never really been a viable playset and there's so many of them

    Yes that's my take on it as well. I feel like throwing in sprint and prep MIGHT be worth it...but I'd have to only play them together bc by turn 7 I'm either already winning or already dead.

    I would definitely take out one weapon for either removal or card draw. Prep Sprint is great but you'd need the combo. Coldlight Oracle maybe?

    I feel like in 3-4 expansion's time we'll finally have a real competitive pirate deck :P

    You may hate Oil but you REALLY want it in your deck. Your only chance of winning will be high aggression due to your lack of draw and lategame

    I would toss Assassins Blade and Perditions, put in two Oils and two Drakes

    Run a similar pirate rogue deck but I didn't bother with Salty Dog or Assassin's blade and unfortunately don't have any southsea captians.

    Forget the deck list but I know I used burgle, fan of knives and shiv for card draw (burgle was awesome).

    A legend player could hit legend with an all random deck. Legend for the most part isn't about skill or deck it's about how much time you can put into the game. Being good or playing a synergistic deck just speeds up that time.

    Yes I was missing some card draw but was trying to keep the pirate theme as much as possible and have little to no nonpirate cards. This was just a shits and giggles quest deck for the most part.

    I think Bloodsail Corsairs are too much.

    I have pirate decks myself, and I think Backstab or Cold blood would be a better option.
    Burgle and Cutpurse are also a decent option. Had a lot of fun recently with Burgle.
