Great video. Opponent 2 at 14:45 was at an effective 21 as the next chapter of cruelty would force him to lose 3 life, so the game was very over. Fun fact, this opponent is also a cool, smaller streamer, he often posts great brews and low budget decks.
Really love this type of deck with a lot of creatures that synergize and provide value to one another, like the frogs deck too. Vulnerable to sweepers but them's the breaks.
Its funny seeing people make pirate decks now during Foundations, I had a really good pirate deck during Lost Caverns of Ixalan, the Pirate Ship vehicles are typically very good, most of the pirates have lots of value, and the ships synergize with Captain Storm.
It's one of the many viable Tier 2 options in both best-of-one and best-of-three on Arena. It's not the best deck, but certainly competitive enough according to Untapped data. It doesn't seem to have any results in paper tournaments so far.
I am using Pirates to climb the 2025 ladder as well. I also use Into the Flood Maw for more 'removal' and I think that you can add Mockingbird instead of some Firebrands. Mockingbird is amazing when it copies Slashers as well. Happy new Year!
Can you tell me the deck list and sideboard if u got? I like pirates I'm going to make the deck and yes, mockingbird is really good :) ar eu using roaming throne too? Thx
@@stultorumjunior Can't link here, but not too different than what you see from LegenVD. I do run 3 Thrones, 3 Mocking birds and Into the Flood. If you plan to go Bo1, this deck is totally weak against the two best decks in the format, Boros and mono red.
@panagiotisgeorgopoulos7478 ey hi, u play BO3? U can copy text the list here not the link :) What u put out for putting the mockingbird and into the flood? So its better for BO3 this?
@@panagiotisgeorgopoulos7478 I was playing goblins similar style to this with breeches, but maybe goblins is faster? I'm not sure I think pirates it's fast too no? So maybe they r similar? I hit mythic on #1239 position with goblin and I can go higher but it requires a lot ofatches Wich I don't have time, maybe pirates can go in similar position right? But yes is true that when u face a mono red is matter of if they get a good hand opening there is nothing to do, u r just dead
I have tryed other forms and i find standard MOST horrible form of MTG. Casual players dont have any chance in standard, its crowded by meta decks that pushes casual players rank down. I can still manage my Diamond T2 rank in Alchemy. (S1 Mythic-----S2 Diamond T3----S3 Diamond T2). Now playing S4.
pirates suck ass tbh, the best I've managed to do with them is tempo, by neutralizing opponents until turn 3 and blowing them up turn 4 or 5 using Dowsing Device, Captain Storm, and Equipments
Was about to say this. You lose 3 life regardless of what you do. Though opponent could theoretically have their own torch the tower to bargain away the saga but since the flipped discover land wasn't prompting any interactions it's likely they didn't have it
Another deck with Roaming Throne.
You could say Standard is in recline.
LOL
hahahaha, golden
🤣
😂
First the video title, now this?? You truly spoil us 😂
Best dad joke I've heard all year!
(so far)
Best video I’ve seen all year!
Great work in game 1, that was such a sudden turnaround!
And the production values keep climbing up with the new year! 46:12 🤩
This deck really reminds me of the "You are a Pirate!" song for some reason
Limewire?

These last couple of titles have been hilarious lol
As simple as they are creature decks for some reason have become my go to for having fun on Arena. Angels, Dinos, Dragons, Bats, etc. Love em all.
Good stuff. Would prefer to see best of 3 games for this format though.
Sick tribal deck, great plays and amazing content as usual. Thanks.
Happy new year! Thanks for your videos!

Roaming Throne! The best pirate ever printed!
おめでとうございます ‼️
Can someone explain me this word at 45:36? Ive heard it few times on different MTG videos. Is it Ex-axis? Exact sis? What does it mean?
Exacties; exactly lethal damage.
Its funny seeing people make pirate decks now during Foundations, I had a really good pirate deck during Lost Caverns of Ixalan, the Pirate Ship vehicles are typically very good, most of the pirates have lots of value, and the ships synergize with Captain Storm.
Indeed, I've built quite a few Pirate decks in the last year!
Belle et heureuse année 2025 ! Jusqu'ici 😅
Valgavoth, the big bad of a whole plane, just getting absolutely bullied by a bunch of monkeys. 10/10
You could also run with a Pirate cutless or two for some extra damage.
The headline title made me giggle 😃 😂
THE CHAIR!!! IT RETURNS!
The only thing I have to say about this deck is: Parlay?
Why is the rum always gone? :(
Yes, it is Pirates!
I love decks like this so much more than the low interaction combo decks
Variety is the spice of life !
Did you hear about the pirate movie? It’s rated Arrrrrrr
Izzet, my beloved
YO HO! Pirates are the best creature type in Magic and no I am not willing to debate this.
'..best Standard deck of the year (so far).'
I see what you did there.
I get the best in the year so far joke, but is the deck really competitive in standard?
It's one of the many viable Tier 2 options in both best-of-one and best-of-three on Arena.

@@stultorumjunior not really. This deck struggles against the top decks because it's low tier 2. My list is this
3 Breeches, Eager Pillager (LCI) 137
4 Corsair Captain (JMP) 11
4 Fanatical Firebrand (FDN) 195
3 Into the Flood Maw (BLB) 52
6 Island (ACR) 103
3 Kitesail Larcenist (LCI) 61
1 Malcolm, Alluring Scoundrel (LCI) 293
3 Mockingbird (BLB) 61
6 Mountain (ACR) 108
3 Roaming Throne (LCI) 258
4 Shivan Reef (DMU) 255
2 Soulstone Sanctuary (FDN) 133
4 Spirebluff Canal (OTJ) 270
4 Spyglass Siren (LCI) 78
4 Staunch Crewmate (LCI) 79
2 Subterranean Schooner (LCI) 80
4 Torch the Tower (WOE) 153
I play Bo1 on Arena. The deck is better on paper where not everybody runs Mice army.

Wait. Kaito sings? I thought it was you
Sailing past valgavoth with a flying pegleg to the face for 24. Gold.
Game 6 was interesting until the shuffler decided the opponent was due for a loss. That's what he gets for playing an original deck.
Please! Make a azorius cats deck.
I did a monowhite version:

I wouldn’t worry too much about rank unless you have fun climbing.

No chainsaw?
You ever seen a pirate with a chainsaw?
@ true. But then where are the blunderbusses?
@@Amishtroll I have played Flail in previous builds, not a bad 1-of!
nice deck that loses to boros burn

Yarrr you ready for this pirate pile?
Wait really!?!? … ohhh
Arrrrrrrtifacts
In 2nd game you didn't even needed 24 damage - 21 would have been enough, because he would get 3 damage from tutoring...

Notification squad
At the end of match 2, yhe second chapter in their saga takes 3 life so you were golden
