Pirates by AdrianC

Format: Commander

Commander: Admiral Brass, Unsinkable

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Admiral Brass, Unsinkable leads a Grixis Pirate tribal deck built on the graveyard, combat triggers, and Treasure generation. The deck mills and loots early to stock the bin, then Admiral Brass recurs a 4/4 hasty Pirate every combat. Secondary paths use extra combats and doubled damage from Port Razer and Angrath's Marauders to turn a wide board into a one-turn kill. Card draw from Coastal Piracy and Black Market Connections fuels the engine, while theft effects like Coercive Recruiter and Hostage Taker provide flexible interaction. The deck is a classic combat-centric midrange build: it grinds well but its clock depends on assembling anthems and damage multipliers.
