Rakdos Pirates (Standard)

This is a go wide, mid-range creature deck that is looking to build and maintain board presence.

Dire Fleet Captain wants you to amass a horde of pirates, while Fathom Fleet Captain does most of that heavy lifting. A cavalcade of scurvy dogs will fill in the lineup, while Lightning-Rig Crew abuses the pirate synergy to devastating effect.

These pirates love their ships, and the Fell Flagship is the prize of the fleet! Crewing this ship with your low level swabs will force your opponent to pitch valuable cards from their hand, while also acting as a mini anthem!

With your board presence built, make sure to Insult // Injury your opponent into an early grave as all of your pirates will be swinging across for double damage :D

The side board of this deck is particularly nasty, as it looks to put the lockdown for a surefire pirate victory! God-Pharaoh's Gift? Torrential Gearhulk? Time for a Dispossess. Opponent going wide? Let loose the Fiery Cannonade! Up against another creature deck or fast aggro? Gas them out with Kitesail Freebooter and Heartless Pillage. Vraska's Contempt is there to round out other threats, such as gods and planeswalkers.
