Transcripts

this is a PowerPoint on pirate Demon

Hunter on the 17th I was in theory

crafting so I played a lot of pirate

Demon Hunter I went 4 and0 with this

list and actually felt incredibly strong

you have a lot of very good early game

options now with cards like patches the

pilot sky or Sigil of skydiving

adrenaline fiend hosen Ruff Houser and

coconut caner all of these new cards are

truly amazing for the early game you can

combo treasure distributor and sigal

skydiving if it doesn't die on turn one

or two which is you know not too common

but it does happen and you'll get a

gigantic Board of two ones with charge

and then treasure distributor will gain

plus uh three attack you can combo that

either with your adrenaline fiend to

give your hero a bunch of attack coconut

Canon ear can go in between them to deal

a lot of uh uh damage to your opponent's

face as well and the main combo is hos

and Ruff Houser it curves perfectly into

uh from Central skydiving where you can

then have two twos with charge because

they also gain that before they attack

it is incredibly powerful hosen Ruff

Houser felt really broken I don't know

why people were underrating this card it

genuinely feels so strong and I I had a

lot of fun playing this I do recommend

playing this I uh when it comes out

maybe not this list maybe someone that

makes a better one but I think that this

is pretty close to what a perfect list

should look like so we'll see uh I will

be making a video of course on this

again once it comes out but it was just

incredibly incredibly fun so let's start

with with something that I like to call

the power

turns I get to do it I get to do it

[Music]

chat good hit my

turn the banana it gives it a banana

that's so that's actually really funny

I'm not going to lie as you could see

the combo of uh hos Ruff Hower and sigil

skyly incredibly strong it lets you do

just so much it lets you fight for board

very efficiently if the if my opponent

didn't even have minions I was able to

have

uh while generating such a large board

it's really really good I think sigil

skydiving is incredibly underrated as a

card and I truly believe that it's one

of the best cards of this expansion so

let's look at some more

gameplay these cards allow you to do

some pretty disgusting lethals

adrenaline fiend just adds so much

damage to your hero it adds up a lot

because you have so many Pirates you do

run a few demons but I'm going to be

honest I don't even know if you need

those demons I didn't uh they didn't do

anything too special while I was using

them I think if anything the demons

might be worse than the

Pirates as you can see here I have

treasure distributor into Sigil of

skydiving it's genuinely so much damage

look at this

I summon three two ones that all have

charge I play adrenaline fiend and I

play uh of course I play Dean you know

you gotta play all your cards and then I

just I'm able to kill my opponent's

minion and send so much damage face on

turn three this is turn three and my

opponent's on 15 health absolutely

insane I'm then able on turn four to

transition it into a lethal just because

of cards like you know hosen Ruff Houser

giving stats and adrenaline fiend giving

a lot attack it truly added up to a

significant amount of damage throughout

the game actually just so powerful you

also have of course hosen Ruff Houser

which allows you to have some genuinely

surprising value as you can see I'm

going to coin Ruff Houser right here and

I'm able to trade into my opponent's

minion uh I wouldn't have made a play

like that if I didn't

have play my coconut caner as you can

see my hand I wouldn't have been able to

do that this turn I'm able to use

coconut caner to bump off the divine

shield on my opponent's minion I kind of

misplayed here I don't know why I played

it like this uh I definitely should have

just uh shot the the heart first just in

case but still you can do so much

because of the value of these uh Pirates

they actually let you trade incredibly

efficiently which can't be said for most

other aggro decks being able to trade in

uh positively into your opponent in an

aggro matchup wins you matchups just on

the spot because uh you're both not

really running removal and you both

don't have very much reload so so if you

do have any way to win the board

interactions you just kind of win the

game it happens again here I noticed

that my treasure distributor can

actually value trade into the 36 uh even

though it is a 63 currently because of

hosen Ruff Houser I can make this trade

positively and still be ahead on board

still have my very large attack minion

and still push a lot of damage look at

this it Buffs it before it would have

died and I still get to push a lot of

damage and buff my other

this of course leads to just killing my

opponent on the next turn because I have

such a large

board uh to be fair I will say not

everyone's playing you know perfectly uh

optimized decks this is Theory crafting

so you know there is are some mediocre

Decks that were being played however it

is something to talk about that when if

you're beating a hand buff Paladin with

uh pirate Demon Hunter it's probably

really

good if you're looking for more cards

you could possibly run in this deck you

could run things like through felon

Flames or metamorphosis I think that

these are a little subpar in my opinion

but if you don't own going down swinging

metamorphosis is a core card and of

course the fell in the Flames is just a

rare so it is something worth

experimenting with they give you just

more reach metamorphosis of course is uh

six Mana for 10 damage which does add up

it's probably about as good as uh maybe

a little bit worse than going down swing

uh around this it's of course around the

same power level I would say so it's not

the worst swap out possible and through

the Felon Flames would really help your

cards like uh sorry like your hosen Ruff

Houser or even your adrenaline fiend by

giving things rush so they can attack

the turn that they are played to get

benefits from those effects also your

coconut Canon ear things like that uh of

course a lot of your minions do have

charge so that's why again I would I

didn't put this in my list and it's

something you could run if you do feel

like experimenting with it but I don't

very much recommend it here's what I

expect this to look more like in Wild

you're probably going to put in cards

like patch of the pirate parachute

brigin ships Cannon you'll definitely be

taking out these slower more expensive

cards like going down swinging dangerous

Cliff side but I truly believe that it

will be a very strong deck and of course

it's going to be looking like this

you're obviously going to be running

patches you're going to be running ships

Cannon I think it's going to be looking

more like this some people don't think

you should run like hosen Rouser or uh

coconut Canon ear I think that Demon

Hunter is a little too strapped on

Pirates to not be running them uh this

list probably won't be that great and

wild do not get me wrong probably be

somewhere like a tier three deck if I

had to expect it's just a little bit

missing to be that great and wild now is

this going to be the best possible list

for this probably not but I do think

it's going to be quite decent you're

obviously slotting in your patches the

pirate shifts Cannon and parachute

brigin then you have access to Dead uh

dreed prison glaive which is an

incredible incredible weapon uh so I cut

down on one quick pick for it I still

think Quick Pick might might be good

enough so I want to experiment with it

and then of course you have arguably one

of the best cards ever printed in Mana

bur Mana bur is so so so valuable for

aggro demon Hunters that if you're not

running it you're actively not trying to

win but yeah that's going to be it for

me if you guys enjoyed make sure to like

comment and subscribe tell me you think

down below do you like pirate Demon

Hunter do you like the the wild list do

you like the standard list more uh and

let me think what let me know what you

think down below do you like perils in

Paradise I actually had a real good time

at Theory crafting and honestly I I

having a blast I think I'm going to make

the rest of

the uh the rest of my videos on decks

from Theory crafting similar to this or

just maybe a regular gameplay tell me

what you think down below and I'll let

and I'll see you guys next time

peace

again evil descends from the

skies the world cries out how will we

survive out of the Hall of explorers
