Kenway, Blades and Booty
Edward Kenway brings a calculated aggression to the board that fits cleanly into artifact and tempo builds. As a Legendary Creature that costs {2}{U}{B}{R}, Kenway reads like an invitation to convert attacking vehicles and creatures with tap lines into tangible advantage. His ability to create Treasure tokens at the beginning of your end step rewards boards that attack and leave permanents tapped and translates combat engagement into reliable resource production for casting spells or fueling equipment.
The second ability turns Vehicle damage into information and optional card advantage. When a Vehicle you control deals combat damage to a player you can look at the top card of that player s library then exile it face down and retain the option to play it while it stays exiled. That effect can generate powerful tempo swings in longer games and enables unconventional card access that synergizes with artifact tutors and graveyard hate. For players who pilot aggressive artifact, pirate or blink shells this 5 5 body is both a threat and an engine. Consider including removal and ways to tap blockers to maximize Treasures and to trigger Kenway s second clause more consistently.
