Pauper's lack of Enchantment destruction in Grixis colors really makes this deck shine. Also, never knew about Azure Fleet Admiral until today, so ty!

Ardenn-Esior Caw Blade [Pauper EDH] "Contest Deck"
2 years ago
Thanks for the reply. I'm confused though. There is quite a bit of card draw and tutoring in the deck. Granted, this is an older build that hasn't underwent any changes since Commander Legends. This was a contest deck built solely for that purpose with what I believed to be at the time the best cards for this deck in specific.
When you note, "I don't see a lot of draw in this". I'm wondering if you really looked the deck over. I noted in early playtesting that it was lacking draw so I added as much as I could without concentrating solely on drawing cards. Examples below.
And on top of these, Flicker effects can blink Archaeomancer or Mnemonic Wall to get you back your Ghostly Flicker plus an Anticipate, Impulse, Ponder, Preordain etc over and over.
So I mean, There's plenty of draw and pseudo "draw" with transmute and tutor effects. There have been some other cards printed since that should probably be reviewed but I didn't intend on this being a deck I would really spend a lot of my time on. It was built primarily to showcase partner commanders. Especially those being newly released.
I'd be more than happy to hear out any changes that you think should be made. As far as I can tell the best pauper draw spells that are in this deck's color pie are already included in the deck. (Providing they were available for use when CMDR Legends was released).

Azure Fleet Admiral is better than the Rig-Hauler whose ETB is situational - You can always get a card off Monarch and if they hit you it becomes unblockable. It can also benefit from other decks playing Monarch.
Burdened Aerialist is better than the Tormentor whose ETB is situational and it might not always trigger. Yes you can cost the opponent a card sometimes but the Aerialist will always get you a treasure token and can always gain flying. It also benefits from treasures created by the Dire Fleet Hoarder.

Izzet Pirates? It Iz! (Malcolm/Breeches Pirates)

Azure Fleet Admiral could pack a heavy punch as a value card.

Thanks abby315 for the upvote and the tips! There are some contenders there I think:
- Tezzeret, Artifice Master is a pretty good draw option with all the treasure, except that I'm not in a very good position to protect planeswalkers with this build, which is why I did not add it.
- I initially started out with Thopter Spy Network and a lot of other cards that create thopters, but I steered away from that idea. Now I have don't have any artifact creatures anymore, so there's not a lot of synergy with spy network.
- Dispatch is a solid removal option. I will consider that one!
- I'm not sure about Amphin Mutineer and Azure Fleet Admiral. They are a bit expensive mana-wise. Mutineer does not have evasion, so does not really synergize with malcolm without additional support. And with the admiral I have a similar issue as with planeswalker that this is not the kind of deck that can protect monarch very well I think.
- Vedalken Humiliator looks pretty fun. Could be strong with some of the pingers as well. Will consider that too.
Thanks for reaching out!

Super fun deck idea, I love it! Here are a few cards you might consider, but I'm not going to pretend to know whether they're worth cutting anything:
Tezzeret, Artifice Master
Thopter Spy Network
Dispatch
Vedalken Humiliator which has incredible flavor and can also help your pirates connect
Amphin Mutineer
Azure Fleet Admiral because monarch is good, and because it'll always be an unblockable pirate whenever you lose monarch.
Looking forward to seeing how this deck evolves!
