This looks great and Treasure is essentially ramp, so you're right about not needing another form.

Your Deck doesn't have much removal (at least not that I can see); is that ever a concern?

The deck is made for a simplistic story line. Pirates looking for treasure and going off into the sunset.  We have our captain Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Malcolm%2C+Keen-Eyed+Navigator) and 2nd in command Akiri, Line-Slinger (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Akiri%2C+Line-Slinger) and they've all ready have landed on an island (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Island). They are digging all over the island (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Island) looking for this treasure. The digging comes from all the wheels we have in the deck. The attacking of pirates is to attack what natives are on the island (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Island). The pirates find a treasure here and there on the island (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Island) but nothing major. The biggest find of course is mechanized production (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Mechanized+Production) and when they get this they do leave with said treasure into the sunset. There is a dragon on the island (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Island) that will take all the treasure and fly off with all of it as well. So there is only 2 ways for the story to end is gaining all the treasure or the dragon who gains it all. Granted I could have a ship and a treasure map (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Treasure+Map) added to this story as well,

Granted I could have added a ship and a treasure map (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Treasure+Map) to this deck to tell more in depth of the story but again I kept it simple and it really is supposed to be fun trying to get immersed into said story.

Oh, I didn't realize that you cared more about telling a story than winning the game.  Kindly ignore everything else I'll ever write because I'm usually even more dense than this.

LOL no you aren't dense. That is usually my playstyle that you are correct on. My main goal isn't normally aiming to win it is about making the deck simple and fun. If someone likes a deck I post and wants to add other stuff to it and call it their own I say go for it. One could add more counter spells, more ramp, different creatures and so on. However I will revise this deck into a more winning strategy :)

Ok, I've read your argument against the need for more ramp, but...
Goldspan Dragon (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Goldspan+Dragon)? :P

I like it because it gets haste but more importantly the treasures get 2 mana instead of 1 so thank you. To expand on the treasures is I am trying to keep it in a theme. Pirates digging for treasure and with enough they'll win. 26 Pirates looking for treasure, while digging (drawing and wheels) looking for treasure (tokens), and Mechanized Production (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Mechanized+Production) or Hellkite Tyrant (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Hellkite+Tyrant) to win.  Admittingly there could be more things added but keeping it themed as possible is my goal.
