Really strong, gives a tool pirate warrior doesn't have and adds another good pirate to the rogue pirate pool specially in wild.

2/5, I feel like this won't be able to find a spot in any deck. Good for arena though.

I honestly didn't remember that one, and if you come to think about it then it makes sense... Either that or some other form of Polymorph might come in and they're trying to give it space for later on. 

However I do find devolving misiles a worst option, not to mention the randomness involved, sometimes it even backfires. 

Since Inner Fire is going Wild, I can’t wait for Roffle or someone to figure out an OTK with this guy.

Maybe some mana discounts, hand buffs, with no minions drop two buffed up boys and Inner Rage both to attack face!

Not to mention with Overlord’s whip it becomes Battlecry: Take one damage and randomly attack an enemy!

Since Hunter's Pack give you a beast I would have liked that this gave you a pirate or another tribal, just to follow the same path. I like it better that it is a warrior minion but for me it loses a bit of flavor haha.

Libram Paladin has a lot of cards with strong synergies with Libram cards and broken cards for this deck like Lady Liadrin (mega refill) or Barov. It's not even comparable. Priest has no synergies at all. Blizzard knows that Tempo priest will never be a thing, they know it, but still gives tempo cards to them without giving it draw. It's like they want Priest to be bad on purpose. I'm getting tired of this. 

Tempo Priest has been a great deck before, so this idea that Blizzard is just pushing a junk archetype rings false to me. Back when the Boomsday Buffs came through (Summer 2019, I think), Buff Priest was hugely effective. (Here's a video from Kibler about the deck from July 2019.) The deck was so powerful they had to un-buff Extra Arms.

You're right that tempo decks rely on synergies, and that was true for the Buff Priest too (e.g. Grave Horror's synergy with cheap buffs), and they need decent card draw/resource generation. The landscape has changed, but there are some corollaries that suggest this could be a real deck in Year of the Gryphon. Crimson Clergy replaces Northshire Cleric, Voracious Reader replaces Acolyte of Pain, Power Word: Feast replaces Extra Arms, the Grave Horror spell synergies see some replacement with the self harm tempo package (Raise Dead, Brittlebone Destroyer, Flesh Giant, and Soulbound Ashtongue).

It doesn't look exactly the same as Boomsday's Buff Priest, and it doesn't look exactly like Libram Paladin, but there are a lot of good building blocks here, and it wouldn't take much more content to push this archetype over the edge.

I mean, 5/5 card, works with any current pirate warrior deck, not sure what else to add, it's just a archetype buff.

Bad card overall, it will see play if there is nothing else to play at cost, however, if it shows the minion it gives you info, and if you can silence it easily then that's really good.
