Pirates was a tribe that had a little support when Ixalan came out, but it wasn't great. I featured a decklist on my YouTube channel when Ixalan came out with a lot of the best Pirates available at the time, which you can find here: Ixalan UB Pirates.

Now that Rivals of Ixalan released on MTGO, it's time to include some of the sweet upgrades available to the UB Pirate archetype. I just released a 3-video series with the new build and the deck performed splendidly. You can watch the new series here: Rivals of Ixalan UB Pirates.

After playing with the deck for a little bit and hearing some feedback, I have added updates. These updates were played in a Standard Competitive League here: Rivals of Ixalan UB Pirates 5-Match Standard Competitive League Video Series.
