Overview

Co-captains Malcolm and Breeches lead their crew in the pursuit of precious treasure tokens, building toward a win via either Mechanized Production or Hellkite Tyrant. While it is fun to get a cheeky, gold-plated win, this deck has ample aggression (aided by a small battalion of dragons) to overwhelm opponents with combat power alone. Many of our creatures bring a chest of gold with them, but those that don't play into the combat in one way or another.

Strategy

A Gilded Truce

With as many avenues as we have to gather treasure, digging up 8 (or 20) Treasure tokens to enable Mechanized Production or Hellkite Tyrant should not be difficult. Since these wincons check at the start of our upkeep, having instant-speed treasure production is key, enabling us to slide a couple more doubloons onto the table right before our turn starts.

Creatures that provide treasure, some repeatable:
Ancient Copper Dragon
Goldspan Dragon
Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator
Lightning-Rig Crew
Professional Face-Breaker
Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer

Spells that produce treasure:
Brass's Bounty
Hornswoggle
Pirate's Pillage
Pirate's Prize
Storm the Vault  

No Quarter

If we have no luck sticking one of our "peaceful" win-cons, we should have more than enough strength to overwhelm our opponents the old-fashioned way.

Noteable combat-aggressors:
Captain Storm, Cosmium Raider
Captain Vargus Wrath
Fathom Fleet Swordjack
Gadrak, the Crown-Scourge
Swashbuckler Extraordinaire (Doubles our combat damage triggers)
Warkite Marauder

Any helpful suggestions are appreciated!
