Quick Cutlass and Coin
Breeches, Eager Pillager is a compact threat that pulls double duty. At {2}{R} this legendary Goblin Pirate arrives with first strike and a repeated attack trigger that forces opponents to answer pressure or concede value. The card rewards an aggressive posture: each attacking Pirate you control forces a choice between ramp through Treasure, denying a blocker, or digging a card from the top of your library and giving you permission to cast it that turn. It is straightforward to read and easy to exploit in a Pirate shell or any deck that wants incremental advantage while racing.
In practice Breeches fits into decks that care about tempo and on hit value. First strike keeps trades favorable when you push damage through. The Treasure option fuels mana curves and sacrifice synergies. The no blocker pick helps break stall lines against chump blockers while the top card exile provides selection and surprise plays late in the turn. From The Lost Caverns of Ixalan, this card is useful both in casual lists and in focused aggressive builds that want dependable triggers each combat step.
