Kindred Summons, Kindred Dominance, Realmwalker, Masked Vandal all seem stupid good in this deck.

Heroic Intervention is excellent protection.

I'd also recommend some more ramp like Nature's Lore, Three Visits, Farseek, Skyshroud Claim and the likes.

Lastly, some more removal might be nice like Rampage of the Clans (which is also a hilarious combo with Crafty Cutpurse

I think the most recent one I'd like to make happen would be Crafty Cutpurse + Mystic Reflection + The Phasing of Zhalfir.

CamraMaan on Interaction between Cabaretti Confluence and …

1 year ago

This was hard for me to research... so my opponent casts Cabaretti Confluence, electing to make three token copies of one of their creatures, to which I respond by flashing in Crafty Cutpurse to steal them. Do I have to sacrifice them at the beginning of the end step, or is that tied to the caster of the spell? Thanks in advance!

Lol win conditions? Stealing IS winning. But seriously, this deck doesn't have many easy win conditions. Pulling Insurrection is possibly one. Basically, when someone else has a winning board, just swipe it for a turn and win in their stead.

Also, Crafty Cutpurse can steal someone's "I make 1,036 copies of this creature because of my multiple non-legendary copies of Adrix and Nev, Twincasters" moment.

Other than that, it's basically just a slow, somewhat ineffective beat down by stealing their stuff and hitting them with it. Just hoping they will be even less effective due to losing their commanders and sometimes enchantments/artifacts.

Maybe this deck would be better for two headed giant matches instead. Either that or just throw in a couple infinites and have the thievery buy you time to get those infinites. Though I myself am not generally a fan of infinites since it just feels a little unsatisfying to win that way.

Echoing wallisface, budget aggro lives or dies by casting 1 mana spells as fast as possible.

If you move to straight rakdos colours, you lose only Daring Saboteur and Frantic Inventory , while your mana becomes a lot more reliable.

With the land set here, I'd go so far as to run almost entirely 1 colour with splashes for higher cmc spells.

A few options; Deadeye Tracker + Grasping Scoundrel + Outcast with a focus on 1 and 2 mana black spells - Kitesail Freebooter in particular is good in a black shell with other sources of discard.

Rigging Runner + Daring Buccaneer + Fanatical Firebrand will work well with a focus on fast damage partucularly spells that deal direct damage and like creatures. I'd look at Captain Ripley Vance and the budget staple Curse of Stalked Prey alongside sources of evasion.

Blue as a primary colour has some neat options if you want to go for a more instant-speed tempo game - Siren Stormtamer , Spectral Sailor , & Brineborn Cutthroat , while opening up sideboard tricks like Crafty Cutpurse and cheap past staples like Mana Leak .

There are a few notable pirates to build combos around - Skyship Plunderer , Timestream Navigator , but they don't have a coherent theme which will make builds awkward.
