The goal here is pretty simple: use your pirates and their knavery to make enough treasures to win using Revel in Riches or Mechanized Production. Ideally, you'll have enough to win by turn 5 or 6? I'm still very new to the modern space, so I have no idea if this deck is a valid strategy, but it sure looks like a heck of a lot of fun.

There are a lot of pirates out there, and many of them are stupidly good and stupidly expensive (I'm looking at you, Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer ). But I'm hoping that you don't need to invest a lot to be the richest pirate.

Any suggestions are welcome! If there are pirates you think would be better to swap others out for, please let me know. I had a hard time choosing! Thanks for looking, and may the wind ever fill your sails.
