Concept

I built this deck to do one thing, and that is to make Treasure and win. Cards are from Ixalan Only.

Win Conditions

This deck actually has three different Win conditions to take advantage of.

• First, and most obvious is Revel in Riches. With more than half of the cards to make Treasure this one is the easiest to do.
• Second is to put your opponent to 1 life with Vraska, Relic Seeker and then swing with Daring Saboteur or Siren Lookout.
• Third is build up as much Treasure as you can and swing with Deadeye Plunderers.

Sideboard

• Vanquish the Weak instead of Walk the Plank if playing vs. merfolk.
• Siren Lookout can be used in place of Daring Saboteur .
• Vanquish the Weak can be put in for Sword-Point Diplomacy.
• Use Duress in place of Opt to counter enchantment.
• Use Sorcerous Spyglass vs. energy counters.

Tips For Playing

• Saving your Spell Swindle until you see a late game 7 or 8 drop can break a game wide open.
• Don't be afraid to use some Treasure to get some Treasure.
• Save your Lookout's Dispersal and Duress to protect your Revel in Riches from enchantment removal.
• Don't attack unless you have to. Sailor of Means and Deadeye Plunderers are fantastic blockers.
• If you get Vraska, Relic Seeker out do your best to protect her for 3 turns and then hammer your opponent with her ult.
• Ixalan's Binding and Lost Legacy will wreck your day. Use Duress to remove it before it hits the board.

Comments and Updates

Please comment and give suggestions on how I can improve this deck.

• Oct.23/17
  I removed 3x River Sneak in favor of 3x Siren Lookout. Explore as an ability is more useful in this deck.
• Oct.24/17
  I finally got my third Revel in Riches. Took out one Prying Blade.
• Oct.25/17
  I discovered that I should be using Lookout's Dispersal instead of Cancel.
• Oct.31/17
  After getting destroyed by Ixalan's Binding, I decided that I needed some additional removal to kill it before it hits the board and ruins my day. I added Duress as a sort of patch to see if it will fix this issue.
• Nov.5/17
  I was able to trade for another Hostage Taker and the Dreamcaller Siren's as well as Sorcerous Spyglass to counter energy decks using Longtusk Cub and Bristling Hydra.
• Nov.14/17
  I removed Dreamcaller Siren because it did nothing for me. I added one more Sailor of Means and Prosperous Pirates.
• Nov.17/17
  I added 2x Field of Ruin because why not.
