Pirates vs Kraken duel decks

[kleer001]

Hi All,

I've been working on these two decks so that they compliment each other.

My goal was to make a pair of fun maximum flavour, high RNG, low cost, medium difficulty strategy, decks for at home play.

What're you thoughts?

Mono blue kraken tribal

Treasure Based Pirates

Also, oh gosh, they're basically the same cost on paper.

Just glancing at them, the kraken deck looks like it'll be much more consistent. Only one color, most important spells are relatively cheap, more interaction, better top end. I think the pirate deck could pull one out occasionally, but I'd bet on the kraken deck to win 3-4/5 games.

All of that being said, I mostly play edh, so take it with a grain of salt.

Good points. I've updated with a couple changes to make the deck run more consistent and themed and added Dire Fleet Neckbreaker for some high cost oomph.

Sure, the mana situation looks dire, and Treasure Tokens are a little slower than straight lands. But I've got Abundant Growth , Unknown Shores to help out with the Treasure generator spells and creature.

I found, using the "Starting Hand" tab in the deck builder I could get going pretty good by turn 10 at the latest. And at best I can do 20 damage by turn 7.

I like both of these decks, I may use them for game nights in the future.
