This deck is all about piracy. I want to copy and/or steal all my opponents cards! I'm not planning this deck to be strong or to win everytime, I just wanna wear my pirate hat and play with other people cards. If I win, it is their fault! xD

Upvote for our Admiral's sea supremacy!

"You and your ship will make a fine addition to my fleet."

- BRASS, Becket (Admiral)

This deck started on July 2017, with the idea of creating a cruel-control Grixis steal-your-stuff deck based on Nicol Bolas and his evil-doing vacation on Amonkhet. The thought behind the idea was:

{U} can copy, redirect or steal spells and permanents.

{R} can also copy and redirect spells, and can steal creatures until the end of turn.

{B} can revive creatures, stealing them from their owner's graveyards.

Soon after I had this idea, we got the Ixalan leaks, and among them was Admiral Beckett Brass. She (I didn't knew at the time the card was a she, because of the leak quality, it got me by surprise haha) was a perfect fit!

I was a bit early to plan a deck with her, but I did it anyway. DO WHAT YOU WANT 'CAUSE A PIRATE IS FREE, WE ARE PIRATES! It was kinda hard 'cause there wasn't many pirate cards, but I played a lot of steal spells and Conspiracy to create my own crew. (The only non-released card I was playing with my friends was the commander herself.)

Now, mid-September 2017, the Ixalan set was finally revealed in its entirety, and I could finally plan the decklist! It's still a little cruel-control/mean deck, but in a funnier way, I guess.

Alternate win-cons are Revel in Riches, Mechanized Production and Hellkite Tyrant, so I'm playing a heavy gold/treasure token creating and artifact stealing strategy. :)
