Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Admiral Beckett Brass leads an aggressive Grixis Pirate tribal deck centered on tempo, evasion, and theft. The deck deploys low-mana Pirates early to secure reliable attacks, turning combat damage into stolen opposing spells, extra mana, and permanent control. Beckett Brass rewards attacking a single player with three Pirates by permanently stealing nonland permanents, stripping opponents of key assets. Complementary powerhouses like Don Andres, the Renegade and Breeches, Brazen Plunderer convert stolen cards and wide attacks into overwhelming value. The deck finishes games by overrunning defenses with massive tribal buffs from Shared Animosity, repeating attack steps with Port Razer, or resetting blockers with Raise the Palisade.
