New Commander rock star card Black Market Connections can make 3/2 Shapeshifters with changeling, so they count as Pirates too! Exiling Opponents’ Cards If you find yourself wanting to add a fair number of non-Pirate creatures to support any other themes or goals in your deck, you can ensure all your creatures are Pirates with Maskwood Nexus or Arcane Adaptation. The cards I call out above represent the cream of the crop, with Amphin Mutineer as my favorite I love the exile removal attached to it, with the encore ability just gravy. There are currently 74 Pirates in the Dimir color combination, so we can certainly round out the tribe with lots of choices. Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator has been doing good Pirate plundering since its release in Commander Legends. Let’s see what other cards we’ll want in our deck: Pirates MatterĮven dropping red from our Pirate deck color identity, there are plenty of great cards that care about Pirate tribal. A Ramirez DePietro, Pillager deck will need plenty of ways to cast any color mana so that you can cast those exiled cards. Ramirez DePietro, Pillager is a much better design, retaining that Pirate “pillage and plunder” feel while not directly impacting opponents’ battlefields or preventing them from playing their game. This leaves player removal as the best option to get back to a regular game of Commander. You’re also discouraged from casting permanents that might get stolen, and since Admiral Beckett Brass is the commander, it’s nearly impossible to keep it off the battlefield. Basically, once Beckett Brass can be cast or threatens to be cast, you have to stop attacking with your creatures so that you can ensure you’re not left vulnerable to getting hit by three Pirates and getting your most valuable nonland permanent stolen. But if you’ve ever played with or against Admiral Becket Brass, you’ll have noticed the Commander play experience isn’t great. Wait a minute, isn’t there already a Pirate tribal leader? The first two incarnations didn’t much care about Pirates, but Ramirez DePietro, Pillager is the Pirate tribal leader we’ve been waiting for! It’s interesting to note that we had already revisited DePietro with a card representing their ghost in the original Commander Legends. It’s nice that they shaved a black and a generic mana from the mana value and added a lot to the text box to make this much more playable in contemporary Commander. The Pirate’s Life for Meįirst up is the third incarnation of the jaunty Pirate, Ramirez DePietro! We got previews for three of the uncommon ones, and I’ll go over them here today. The set also has “Legends Retold” box toppers, and each Set, Draft and Collector Booster display will contain one of nineteen legendary creatures (and one planeswalker) with new designs inspired by a legendary creature found in the original Legends set.
WotC has announced more than 40 legendary creatures across the set.
Legends Retoldįor Commander fans, the news that’s aimed straight to our lifeblood is the announcement that every Dominaria United booster pack will contain a legendary card, just like the original Dominaria did. They really should have put these in Draft and/or Set Boosters, even though the drop rate would have been a lot less than 3%. A much less “the rich get richer” move would have been what WotC already did with the Priceless Treasure promotion from the original Zendikar release, where expensive old cards were bought up and then seeded into the regular booster packs that players could run across at Prereleases, Drafts, and Sealed Deck events. Limiting it to Collector boosters is disappointing, since that’s a product aimed at the whales of Magic who already have more disposable income than the average Magic player. One of the most eye-popping things? Wizards of the Coast (WotC) ran across forgotten pallets of boxes of the original Legends set in a warehouse that’s shutting down, so they opened the packs and will slide the minty-fresh contents into 3% of Dominaria United Collector Boosters for Magic fans to discover.
