    I wouldn't see this in rogue, maybe warrior, but not too slow for rogue.

    It seems ok, and its nice to see a neutral weapon buff. 

    At this point I have spent too much money on these games to quit. 

    Now pass me another pack, and lets see what I pull.

    Decent body, is a pirate, and does the whole Weapon thing that most Pirates love. I think, because this is Neutral, that it has a lot more chances to see play. Rogue and Warrior immediately come to mind, obviously, but Paladin, Hunter, and Shaman lurk as potential homes for it as well. Likely only going to see play in an aggressive deck.

    I have spoken.

    I understand that the Pirate tag carries some weight, but...we literally just got Toxicologist in the Core set. I don't believe weapon damage will be that essential to run both of these.

    Maybe Warrior likes it because of Menageirs shenanigans, but they probably have better Pirates

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Pretty good pirate, will see play in weapon/pirate decks.

    RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.

    Generally attack buffs are worse than durability buffs, but I guess if you already have a weapon with a ton of durability you could use this. It just seems so much worse than a lot of other weapon buffs currently available in standard.

    I think in the new environment, getting a body along with the weapon buff will be important.

    On a flavor note, I was wondering when we'd see mention of Ratchet. My personal theory was that we had not seen it because they were saving Ratchet for the mini-set. I guess it could still be that, but seeing this now makes me think maybe not. But come on, we're due for a new Gazlowe card, don't you think?

    In weapon decks this is just good. In many ways I would prefer this over Vulpera Toxinblade, or just play them both in a very fast aggro weapon rogue deck.

    Anything that buffs weapons will at some point see play, so don't give your hopes up.

    This is a nice turn 3 play to follow up the Rogue hero power, but there's not enough Pirate synergy to make this all that good. Certainly marginally better than Toxicologist, but that isn't saying much.

    This helps a potential Pirate Warrior curve with Bloodsail Deckhand into Fiery War Axe. I don't know if Pirate Warrior will have enough consistent tools to see play, but Ratchet Privateer certainly helps.

    Auto include in weapon Rogue decks? Maybe in some warrior decks as well? I guess we'll have to see if any weapon decks are in play to know if this will have an impact.

    Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.

    Rogue T2 HP, turn 3 Ratchet Privateer. As far as curves go, this looks really good, especially with the premium stats.

    Rating cards on coolness factor rather than predicting power because I like screwing up rating averages (and because I suck at predicting real power levels, but we'll ignore that LUL)

    Solid pirate. Definitely a good slot into a pirate warrior. Maybe a pirate rogue can get off the ground??

    Actually a card with wild potential (pirate warrior) but 3 mana is expensive. Not sure about this one

    Replacement for Captain Greenskin? Clearly worse because there's no durability buff, but you can use two. And Greenskin is going to Wild, so there's that. Still, you'll probably just want to use Toxicologist except in Pirate based decks.

    Seems like solid support for both Weapon Rogue and Pirate/Weapon Warrior.

    Probably not worth it in just any old deck with weapons, but if you're playing Pirates you're most likely playing this. Definitely in Rogue, maybe in Warrior.

    Tharrr she be, matey!  Good stats, and a decent effect.  I don't see a reason not to run this in a weapon centric deck, and I imagine I'd throw it into most pirate decks, as well.

    Not sure this will make the cut in weapon rogue.

    Rogue or Warrior will find a good use for this.

    Bit too slow. Seems like there are better options.

    Feels more like a warrior card, seems too slow for rogue.

    Return of pirate warrior?
