 King Of Hearts Set sail and conquer with Daring Buccaneer. Similar to Thunderherd Migration, this card is part of a tribal cycle where cards become cheaper if you have the right cards in hand. Red loves early aggression and there are a few one-drop pirates to choose from. Fanatical Firebrand has haste and Rigging Runner is a bit slower if you want to maximize its power. All are playable so its up to you to see which one works best. Constructed: 3 |

The Pirate equivalent of Silvergill Adept, more or less. While Silvergill drew a card, Daring Buccaneer is simply a 1 mana 2/2, which is almost always an excellent investment. It’s not great if you’re not in Pirates (a 3-mana 2/2 is fringe playable in Limited, if need be), but it does the job a Pirate deck wants: hit early and hit often. Constructed: 4 |
