Strategy

This is a powerful draw effect for decks that run at least some amount of Pirate and weapons. It's no doubt effective in Pirate Rogue decks, but any non-Pirate focused decks that run at least a few Pirates like Southsea Deckhand or Hench-Clan Burglar can make good use out of this card. The weapon drawing aspect is important for decks that rely on buffed up weapons like Spectral Cutlass or Kingsbane in Wild, and is the only weapon-drawing card available on Standard.

Dread Corsair and Waggle Pick work particularly well with this card, since both pieces can be drawn with one card and the Waggle Pick allows for playing 0-mana Dread Corsairs.

Patch changes

• Patch 14.2.2.31022 (2019-05-22): Now costs 4 mana (Up from 3).

Commentary: Rogue already excels at drawing cards, so having another powerful option that offers consistent results has resulted in Rogue games that play out a little too similarly than we think is fun. We're making this change to better represent the power level of drawing from a very specific subset of cards.

• Patch 13.0.0.27845 (2018-11-29): Added.
