Aranna Starseeker, eh? I wonder if she is Elise's daughter :o If so, it is cool that Hearthstone is developing not only unique characters, but family ties/lines. That would be really awesome!
This sounds like a great idea, instead of constantly removing parts of the minion pool. Lets them add more and keep the synergies somewhat consistent. Good job Blizz!
Wait, does Jinx's level up effect check while a spell is resolving?
Like in the case of Rummage. If I only have two cards in hand, would she level up when I discard the first two cards? Before I draw the next two. Or does the effect have to wait until the spell is resolved to check? (in which case, I don't see any synergy)
Her level up (and L2 rockets for the matter) trigger the instant your hand is empty. For Rummage, it is as soon as you cast it since its burst speed and your hand is temporarily empty. For Get Excited! and Draven's axes, its also as soon as you cast since the discard is part of the cost. For Augmented Experimenter, however, you need to wait for the skill to resolve since there it's part of the skill and its only at fast speed.
But, that's not the optimized burn list... At least not anymore, anyway. Legion Rearguard is absolute trash and needs to be replaced. This is the current go-to burn list.
If OP doesn't have that demon (Teemo) yet then some additional burn will suffice at lower ranks. Get Excited!, Blade's Edge or, if you want a fun card, try Jinx.
I would classify Teemo as a sidegrade. Sure, Rearguard now dies to literally any 1 drop (edit except for Unscarred Reaver lol like anyone actually plays her)--but they still need to find a 1-drop, and many decks can't. Both die to Thermo Beam or Vile Feast. Basically: you're gambling the potential 3 damage from an unanswered Rearguard against the ~1.5 damage from a stealthed Teemo. I could definitely see the arguments for saying Teemo is a bit more consistent in the current meta, but at the end of the day you have to accept that all burn decks are inherently more about how successfully your opponent is able to counter your early pressure than whatever mini-maxing you're doing on your end.

The problem with pirates in battlegrounds, as far as I see it, is that most of the cards would have to be specific to battlegrounds, and the classic pirate design space of weapons cannot be done in battlegrounds.
Maybe something with a BG variant of ship's cannon or something to do with coins could be interesting.
I actually like thermogenic beam. It lets me either remove early blockers or mid game large threats. It hasn't been a liability yet. And I find it fun to play. Granted it sometimes can be a disadvantage to be able to only play it for full cost. But I guess the ability to be both early and late game removal can't be free.
But yes, I will eventually be replacing the areonaut when I find something that fits. I've been on the fence over Get Excited! because the deck tends to already give me card disadvantage against my opponent. And the 3 cost slot tends to get clogged as well.
Unless you want to make decks only by yourself try looking up other people's decks (and meta).
I'll be looking up the meta eventually. But I want to start by constructing myself and learning from my mistakes. Otherwise, I find that my outlook becomes more narrow.
Boomcrew Rookie is already in the deck.. I've been considering the other 2 cost cards. I just don't have them yet.
Jinx isn't a very strong champion ATM so I'd avoid her,
I'm only using her because it was the best option among what I have. I want to play the deck a bit before I start using my wild cards.

I have a strange feeling that people are not actually looking at my decklist....
Starting with Patch 1.5 (in about 4 weeks), we’re updating Vault unlock timing to put it more safely after our patch timing. Vault unlock will move back from Tuesday to Thursday at 8 AM (local time based on shard). The week we move the Vault, we’ll have an extended, nine-day Vault to make the transition.
I'm actually a little sad about this. Sure, it's a quality-of-life improvement over-all. My thing is: there have been so many Tuesdays when I've woken up, started in on my humdrum weekday routine and then suddenly realized "oh wait it's Vault Day--I should go see if I got anything good this week!" It was a nice little mid-week bit of excitement. Thursday is almost the weekend--it just won't be as emotionally impactful then.

Too bad no new cards as in GA.
But the new content looks fun, and it's free, so it's all good!
Also, is that Aranna Starseeker the sister of Elise Starseeker?

Its probably akin to Heroic adventure bosses, would be my guess. So only part of the adventure probably.

Is the challenge mode the new promised gamemode or will that come only with the second expansion of the year?

Finally. Some good fucking news.

Dragons in constructed are centered around having one in hand, so they are almost all new cards in BGs.
I don't think that is really a problem. Too many creature types might start becoming one however.

Pre-constructed decks.
But my first deck already looks like that lol.
But I know what the deck issue was. It seems that the image on the decks is random. That's why I thought we had different ones.

Fixing Kinkou Elusives - Patch 1.2
Guess what, we get to talk about everyone's favorite stealthy list, and how to fix it.
- The solution was simple, just splash frejord. Now every wayfinder can pull out omen hawks and buff all future elusive draws.
- The evaluation works like this, if a wayfinder pulls out 2 hawks that's 4/5 strength plus 4/4 strength into future draws.
- That is 8/9 stats on turn 4 so consider me converted, all the list needed was a tier 1 splash. Not to mention the deck thinning potential.
- You also get access to burst speed spells that keep your elusives alive like fury of the north and elexir of iron.
