Deck overview

This mono-red aggro deck is led by Vaan, Street Thief, leveraging a synergistic tribe of Scouts, Pirates, and Rogues to steal opposing cards and amass Treasure tokens. Early turns focus on deploying cheap, evasive attackers such as Tin Street Dodger, Kari Zev, Skyship Raider, and Brazen Collector. Casting Vaan on Turn 3 enables combat damage triggers that exile cards from opponents' libraries or produce Treasures. Casting stolen spells places +1/+1 counters on the entire team, rapidly scaling power across the board. The mid-game capitalizes on impulse draw, mana acceleration from Crime Novelist and Academy Manufactor, and combat manipulation through goad spells. The deck closes games around Turn 6 to 8 by converting accumulated board presence into lethal combat damage using force multipliers like Swashbuckler Extraordinaire, Port Razer, Great Train Heist, and Embercleave.
