Edward Kenway
$9.12
Legendary Creature — Human Assassin Pirate

Grixis pirates and vehicles that turn tapped attackers into Treasure and steal cards off opponents' libraries with vehicle hits.
Read more
At the beginning of your end step, Edward creates a Treasure for each tapped Assassin, Pirate or Vehicle you control. Attacking or crewing taps them, so every combat turn pays you. Whenever a Vehicle you control deals combat damage to a player, you look at the top card of their library, exile it face down and may play it for as long as it stays exiled. The Treasure helps pay for those stolen cards. The deck is built on Pirates, Assassins and Vehicles that want to attack.
In the recorded games, Treasure was the steady engine. Reckless Lackey and other cheap Pirates attacked early to start the flow, and crewed Vehicles like Subterranean Schooner kept digging for cards. Playing cards off opponents' libraries gave real card advantage in longer games. Hostage Taker and Timestream Navigator showed up as strong top-end plays. The main weakness was the curve. Expensive Vehicles and a reliance on crew made some starts slow, and Edward only paid off once creatures and Vehicles were in play together.
