Goblin Swashbuckler Ready to Plunder
Breeches, Eager Pillager plays like a compact engine in aggressive red Pirate builds. The card name signals a creature that does more than hit; as a 3/3 with first strike for {2}{R} it trades well on the ground and pressures blockers early. Breeches turns every attacking Pirate into a tactical choice, letting you convert tempo into value by generating Treasure, denying blockers, or digging for another play from the top of your deck.
From a lore perspective Breeches fits the Lost Caverns of Ixalan motif, a greedy buccaneer eager to expand both plunder and reach. In practice the card rewards attacking lines and Pirate tribal synergies while offering flexible outcomes that respond to combat states. Use Breeches to accelerate into key spells or to clear a path for a decisive alpha strike.
