Standard RUB Pirates

Arbitrage engine. Sacrifice Dire Fleet Hoarder to Ruthless Knave and it creates +3 mana of any color for turn 4 or 5 decision-making and helps with other synergies. If you have Pitiless Plunderer you can create a pay 3 get 4 for 3 mana and see dramatic mana swings. Use March of the Drowned to bring TWO pirates back from the graveyard.

Now turns 4-7 get interesting once you bring out Marionette Master or Salivating Gremlins... or both.

Basic removal and damage is dealt with Fanatical Firebrand and Lightning Strike.

Will sideboard Duress and Shock for sure.
