Deck overview

This is a Captain Howler, Sea Scourge discard-value deck. It uses cards such as Rielle, the Everwise, Brallin, Skyshark Rider, Glint-Horn Buccaneer, and Monument to Endurance to turn discarding into cards, power, Treasure, and damage. Key to the City, Misty Knight, Hero for Hire, Frantic Search, Windfall, and Tolarian Winds supply discard events, while Curiosity, Tandem Lookout, and Frostcliff Siege can improve combat-based card flow. Its normal operating state is a midgame engine, not a fast combo. The deck has some interaction and protection, but many key creatures must survive and combat damage must connect. It also lacks reliable tutoring and a compact way to convert its discard output into 120 damage or a lock. Additional combat spells increase pressure but do not solve the access and damage bottlenecks. Expect a turn-6 engine and a turn-7 must-answer value board when the draw cooperates, with no dependable finish turn.
