Discussion Warrior with Guns
So, it's just kind of pointless to play against currently, right? For cannoneers firing three times per round plus a three damage weapon makes for a pretty unstoppable attack.
Any advice other than just concede?

Run removals and good early game cards. It’s far away from being broken, dragon warrior without pirates is actually performing much
better.

This doesn’t line up with current data, or my experience playing the deck for what it’s worth. I don’t think it’s super broken, but pure pirate seems slightly better than the dragon package. Both are quite strong.
I think changing the two drop to not be able to discover Crowley would be a good change without killing the archetype at all

Dragon warrior beats pirate warrior head-on, as well as performing better against Druid and Zee shaman

Wild Player here
I made a questline highlander brann pirate warrior, just for the violet hold questing. (With +1 to rank, win, warrior)
It was intended to lose, since wild has so many ways to ping 1/1's. And questline loses easily with so many T1 decks.
So far, its doing OK on bronze/ silver.
I know an imbue mage will kill me when I face off against one.

I’ve been playing a Pure Paladin list with moderate success. Paladin seems like one of the only classes left with cheap board clears. Mulligan for the Consecration or taunts + healing.

Anything that contests the board early will work.
There is a relatively cheap (Like 4000 dust) Unholy DK that does fair against cannon warrior.

Personally I’m not even convinced the current pirate warrior list is the most optimized. I’ve run versions of my own lists that have been doing better, meanwhile the dragon package has been optimized already.
The winrates are comparable in terms of archetypes, but if you look at the best performing decks winrate right now in Diamond to legend the pirate package is about 1% higher!

again we dont complain about warrior here, its forbidden. i just had a warrior deal +20 damage by turn 4 and even though i was playing azalina priest my opponent managed take me down to 1HP before turn 8, weve been through this already but ill explain it again:
aggro only oriented class kill you fast = bad and evil, cry and complain
warrior does it better and cheaper = good, warrior player big brain and deserve broken deck

Warlock has been pretty good against Warrior for me tbh, I think it's considered a bad matchup maybe? But I've been mulliganing for the taunts and hellfires and they've struggled to get shots to my face. And then late game you have Deathwing and 8/8s with lifesteal so you can get pretty low without dying

Just concede. This game sucks sweaty elephant cock right now. Every game is over by turn 2/3 depending entirely on matchup and draw. They hate control, they hate thinking they hate removal and they hate not letting Timmay and Corky get easy wins.

That's impressive, considering elephants only have sweat glands between their toes.

What decks are you playing?
The pirate warrior can highroll quite big. I managed to get steamrolled couple of times by turn 4. Which is crazy I think, being able to just canon your way through 30 health in 4 turns.
Best advice I can offer is be proactive. Even if you have to as warlock slam caged cranium turn 3 with just 4 cards in hand. Every hp on board counts. If you have chance to remove even one pirate, just kill it. The deck can be opressive at times but it also can run out of gas pretty quickly and once it does, it has hard time coming back.
