The stream guys are using Fade Away and Clone effects to capitalize the Rishidan pirates with Siren’s Ruse.
If you set up a Chalice on one plus Footpad, Siren’s Ruse, and other’s you can start pox-ing them right out.
It needs something else as a back up to Chalice.
The mana denial plan seems pretty weak so far. Fade Away seems interesting, though.
I'd def go UB over UR for Hostage Taker and play Curfew. Hostage Taker is insane. That said, this deck ain't the real pirate ninja deck.
I can only hope that the next deck to break the format will just play a bunch of trash rares like Parallax Tide and That Five Mana Pirate from 1999, it would be a fitting replacement to getting the format broken by a trash rare from Coldsnap.
THE LIST is coming. Hype!
Fair enough.

We're catching bullets in our teeth,
Its hard to do but they're so sweet.
And if they take a couple out,
We try to work things out.....

I see Snapcaster in a lot of these lists but I've yet to be impressed with him and the very small amount of hittable targets in the deck. How do you guys feel about Wasteland? I go back and forth between not using any and using a maximum of 3.
Thinking about Hostage Taker again, it seems pretty good with Siren's Ruse, e.g.:
- T3 Hostage Taker, steal your opponent's two-drop (bonus points for being uncounterable from Cavern)
- T4 cast two-drop, Siren's Ruse, steal another card, draw a card
- T5 cast stolen card
At that point, you're already up +4 CA while having multiple threats and a crippled opponent - with two cards that are good on their own.
I'm really looking forward to conversations like this:
Magic as Richard Garfield intended."Hey dude, what did you do on the weekend?"
"A Hostage Taker forced me to plow my own Mom."
You guys, now that the deck is going to be released, I want to take this opportunity to apologize for the way I acted in this thread earlier. Things got heated and I was a little bit too emotional. Ultimately I was just trying to protect something that my friends worked very hard on. Here's the thing - not very often does a deck totally come from out of nowhere like this - this was a masterpiece of brewing and we thought we did everything in our power to keep it a secret. But I think that's just impossible these days, and we need to accept that and not blame other people.
So I'm not angry anymore - I'm actually just excited. A lot of blood and sweat went into building this deck and I think people are gonna be thrilled when they see the final product. As soon as the list is published, I think the new legacy meta is going to be nuts and I look forward to being able to finally be able to play Popeye in public. I don't think it will last too long honestly, because there will be at least 1-2 bannings, possibly emergency bannings, but it will be a ton of fun while it lasts.
Anyway, I hope everyone here accepts my apology, I know I snapped at a lot of people.
