Pirate

For the Tavern Brawl minion, see Pirate (Tavern Brawl)..

Pirates are a type of minion.

The majority of Pirate cards fit a weapon theme and are most useful in decks that feature a lot of weapons. Pirates are associated with the rogue and warrior classes, although most Pirates and related cards are neutral.

Strategy[edit | edit source]

Rogues and warriors are ideal for a Pirate deck. This is because of the rogue's Hero Power, and the warrior's wide array of weapon cards that can be built into a deck. Paladins and to a lesser extent hunters and shamans can also make use of Pirates' abilities, depending on the card and the number of weapons in their deck. However, for maximum effect Pirates are best used in combination with a weapon-heavy class.

Name / Desc	Rarity	Subtype	Class	Cost	Atk	HP	Description
Bloodsail Flybooter	Common	Pirate	Rogue	1	1	1	Battlecry: Add two 1/1 Pirates to your hand. They’re pretty fly for some pirate guys.
Sky Raider	Common	Pirate	Warrior	1	1	2	Battlecry: Add a random Pirate to your hand. Maybe he should've hatched a plan that could actually carry booty back too.
Southsea Deckhand	Common	Pirate	Any	1	2	1	Has Charge while you have a weapon equipped. Pirates are into this new fad called "Planking".

Sky Gen'ral Kragg	Legendary	Pirate	Any	4	2	3	Taunt Battlecry: If you've played a Quest this game, summon a 4/2 Parrot with Rush. He's gunning for Sky Adm'ral.
