Hello so I actually played two games last night with your deck online and I ran into a few issues.
-
I only drew two theft cards my first game and one my second, so that mechanic just wasn't working for me.
-
Attacking the player with the most life turned out to be very difficult in both games, in one I had the most life most of the time, and still lost. In the second the person with the most life had a pillow fort.
-
The most of the pirates I was drawing where just bad, they didn't even have come into play effects which I could have used by getting them +1/+1 counters and then sacrificing them. I feel that in decks where things come back, one would want to maximize the come into play and leave play effects.
In the cone version I made of my own I found that the pirates that create treasure when they come into play are actually very good, if you can make them repeatedly come into play. All three Rishadan pirates are very good I did a board wipe before by cloning one multiple times. They are probably the best pirates for this deck in fact. And are not very expensive.
Swaggering Corsair and Rigging Runner can give you infinite mana with the Alters. Or at least enough to cast your whole hand since you can't actually use infinite mana for anything in this deck.
I'm making my own build, which is going to not be 100% pirates only, but I will try and keep it pirates as much as I can.
