Pro Comment: Giving all of your creatures Explore is pretty darn good, and this will generate all sorts of value for you. You of course need a very high creature count, and the more creatures that make more than one body the better (like Jungleborn Pioneer), but that isn’t super difficult in this format. The biggest downside here is simply the fact that you pay 4 mana for something that has no immediate impact on the board, and sometimes that’s a liability, but the upside is certainly worth it.

Pro Comment: A 3-mana 3/3 with Flash is always playable, so the Hexproof upside here is nice. You will find you don’t always get to use it, because you just need to be playing this 3/3 – and sometimes flashing it in to block a 2/2 is just what you need to do. However, when you do get to take advantage of the Hexproof, it feels pretty nasty.

Pro Comment: You do have to pick your spots with this, but if you do, it ends up being absurdly powerful. Stealing your opponent’s best removal spell from their graveyard and using it to off their creature is amazing. And, you get a two mana 2/1 with First Strike at the same time! Sometimes you do just have to play it to have a two drop, so its nice that it is pretty reasonable when you go that route.

Pro Comment: This has great stats and its also a pretty nice utility creature to have in your main deck, as sometimes you run into problem Artifacts and Enchantments in game one, and this actually gives you an answer to them.

Pro Comment: There aren’t enough Enchantments or Artifacts in this format to put this in your main deck.

Pro Rating: 3.0
Pro Comment: This is a powerful card that you really want at least one of in all of your Pirate decks. It is a decent trick on the face of it, and it turns into a very real win condition in Pirate decks thanks to the massive amount of damage this card can help your Pirates do.

Pro Comment: A Hill Giant that makes a Treasure token is pretty solid in this format. Getting fixing in Red is quite nice!

Pro Comment: This has pretty bad stats, and even if you’re desperate for a 5 drop, this doesn’t do a great job. Playing almost any other Black card in the set is probably better.

Pro Comment: This has alright stats and a useful creature type, so it makes the cut sometimes.
Fathom Fleet Boarder

Pro Rating: 2.0
Pro Comment: This is mostly a vanilla 3-mana 3/3 in the pirate deck, and a 3-mana 3/3 with a sizable downside outside of that.

Pro Comment: Clones are pretty nice in Limited, since they will always be whatever the best creature on the table is. This Clone demands Raid to do its thing, and that’s a real requirement, but its still a pretty nice card overall.
Relentless Raptor
Average Picked At: 7.00
Total Times Picked: 3
Average Last Seen At: 4.62
Total Times Seen 17
Pro Rating: 3.0
Pro Comment: This obviously has some incredible stats as a two mana 3/3 with Vigilance. The requirement to attack or block every combat does mean its usually going to die in a hurry, though.

Pro Comment: Even in a deck with 0 merfolk, a 5-mana 2/1 that draws you a card is sort of passable. So, the fact that you can play this as a two mana 2/1 that draws you a card in Merfolk decks is pretty great.
Vampire Revenant

Pro Comment: These aren’t great stats, but it does have evasion and a useful creature type, so you could do worse.
Tomb Robber

Pro Comment: The starting stats here aren’t great, but the ability to turn cards you don’t want into Explore triggers is quite powerful. It will feel sort of similar to looting, except that it often also impacts your board.
Needletooth Raptor

Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: The Enrage trigger here is very powerful, as it effectively lets you kill an opposing creature. This is a rough card to have to attack through, and a rough card to be attacked by, since you know that trading with it is a disaster, and even without a trade it can probably destroy your best creature. It gets especially nasty if you find ways to trigger Enrage in other ways, like with the Dinosaur Forerunner.
Hornswoggle

Pro Comment: This is a decent counter spell. Three mana is a touch more expensive than I would like, but the fact you get a treasure back softens the blow.
