Creating a Pirate Tribal when Ixilam comes out and making use as much as possible of the new tribal cards. The deck consists of early turn drops that as time goes if they haven't already dominated early board presence they become much larger threats.

The idea is as follows. You start on turn 2 with Skyship Plunderer. Then, on turn 3, you cast Jace, use his +1 ability, attack with Skyship Plunderer, loot, and use the trigger to bring Jace up to 5 loyalty.

On turn 4, you cast Anointed Procession, and this is where the fun begins. You immediately ultimate Jace, giving you 4 copies of the no-longer-legendary planeswalker. You activate each copy's -2 ability, which again produces double the tokens, yielding a grand total of 16 power on turn 4. Oh, and you still have 4 planeswalkers lying around in case that somehow isn't enough to win the game.

As the game continues you make more and more copies of the new Jace and doubling and possibly quadrupling loyalty and the tokens it makes each turn.

Any constructive criticism is appreciated.
