Nice, glad you enjoyed it! I think you're right, I struggled to find good blue pirates, this one seems decent. I don't think we've got enough raw card advantage to run md pitch spells in here though.
@FTW, both your lists look good! But you're missing the plot, we're trying to show how Wheel and Deal...arguably the worst card in mtg history...is good here.
Oh I see. And here I was trying to replace Wheel and Deal with a decent Magic card, while staying true to the popeye theme.
Well, Wheel certainly seems least terrible next to 4x Hullbreacher and 4x Chains.
I'd still change up Ruin Raiders, maybe Departed Deckhand, and consider cutting down on Chains copies just to have tutors for Hullbreacher instead (Forerunner or Intuition). Milling has a real drawback in Legacy, where a ton of decks use graveyard as a resource.
I also agree with drekonja that Azure Fleet Admiral is better than Ruin Raider. Even if it costs more, it also:
-doesn't require Raid, so it draws cards more often
-doesn't lose you life
-blue card for FoW
-bigger butt
-has evasion if they get Monarch
-has better Pirate themed art
The Monarch token is actually a Curse for the opponent when you have Hullbreacher (EOT create a Treasure) or Chains. The synergy with your deck is good enough to run up to 3 copies main.
Legacy Council tried Popeye Stompy! Skip to two hours in, link: http://www.twitch.tv/legacy_council/...?sr=a&t=11956s
Good fun.
