Commander: Captain Howler, Sea Scourge

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Captain Howler, Sea Scourge leads an aggressive Izzet discard-and-combat strategy that converts looting effects into massive power boosts and steady card draw. The deck leverages cheap looters, wheels, and evasion to push substantial combat damage while filling the graveyard. Its primary win condition pairs Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator with Glint-Horn Buccaneer, creating an infinite damage loop funded by Treasure generation whenever Glint-Horn attacks and discards. Alternatively, the deck closes games through explosive combat steps using Temur Battle Rage and unblockable attackers, mass burn from Brallin, Skyshark Rider and Magmakin Artillerist, or swarms generated by The Locust God and Drake Haven.
