Notes

Teferi is a pirate. He lives on a flying pirate ship ( Skyship Weatherlight ) with a crew of misfits (e.g. Jace, Cunning Castaway ), gets in fights and spends his time digging for buried treasure. Now he has a proper pirate crew to support him!

Mana base is a work in progress.

There are five ways to guarantee triggering Revolt for Fatal Push :

1. Crack a Fabled Passage
2. Sacrifice Siren Stormtamer
3. Sacrifice Curious Obsession at the beginning of your end step
4. Exile one of your own creatures or artifacts with Hostage Taker
5. Bounce or Tuck one of your own permanents with a Teferi Planeswalker ability

There is an extremely unlikely infinite combo in the deck:

• 1x Forerunner of the Coalition
• 3x Hostage Taker
• infinitely drain opponent's life by exiling and returning 3x Hostage Taker in a loop

Forerunner of the Coalition is not here to enable a bad combo. It is here because it can put any pirate on the top of our deck and we have lots of ways to draw that pirate immediately ( Opt , Curious Obsession , Spectral Sailor , Teferi, Time Raveler , Teferi, Hero of Dominaria ). Our utility pirates are:

• Siren Stormtamer - Counterspell Pirate
• Kitesail Freebooter - Duress Pirate
• Hostage Taker - Removal Pirate

Sideboard

• Rest in Peace for graveyards
• Dusk / Dawn as a (hopefully) one-sided sweeper
• Disenchant for artifacts and enchantments
• Deputy of Detention for extra targeted removal
• Assorted Counterspells for control
