Pirate ship —Jan. 27, 2018
I've decided to test Fell Flagship over Dire Fleet Captain for the time being. My reasonings are that the ship fits on curve a little better, as I have a lot of two drops right now. DFC to me is the weakest of the 2 drops so it was the choice to cut. The flagship has a few synergies I'm excited to test out, these being, Rigging Runner an addition +1 with first strike damage seems real sweet. Next are the multiple menace creatures, pretty obvious but it needs to be said. Finally if played on curve with Dire Fleet Neckbreaker the +3 to attack is nuts! Kari Zev, Skyship Raider and Fathom Fleet Captain both attack for 5 power with menace, that is a very fast clock, the first strike on kari zev makes blocking especially difficult. You can also crew the ship with meckbreaker for an extra attacker while still getting the +2 for your other pirates. Finally the ship allows nearly every creature to crew it, besides kari zev and an unraided runner the +1 allows my creatures to crew the ship creating value out of my top decks on the mid to late game. Also out of the board, the ship give me more ways to turn on unlicenced disintergration

I like this deck. I was thinking of doing this aggro pirate deck myself. I'd probably keep the 2 [card:https://tappedout.net/mtg-card/fiery-cannonade/] in the deck or the [card:https://tappedout.net/mtg-card/unlicensed-disintegration] for creature removal. I like a more clear board to bombard them with pirates... probably take 2 [card:https://tappedout.net/mtg-card/ruin-raider/] out but overall looks good enough for me to definitely build it

Thanks a lot audiofission! Be sure to tell me how it goes if you end up building it!

Thanks for commenting on my deck! I had thought about both, mainly Fell Flagship for the +1+0. The only reason I'm not currently running it is my lack of testing, I'm actually going to try it in place of Dire Fleet Captain as I don't think the capt'n does enough on his own and my curve could use another couple 3 drops. As for the forerunner I think it's great, just a bit too slow for this build though. I can see it playing a huge roll in blue/black or grixis pirates.
