Ruthless Privateer
Edward Kenway brings pirate economy and stealthy disruption to your midrange or artifact aggro lists. The card rewards aggressive board development and rewards Vehicle and creature tapping with Treasure tokens at your end step, converting combat commitments into mana advantage. His printed abilities force opponents to play around Vehicle strikes while offering you a way to loot the top of an opponent library when you punch through, so include him where you intend to pressure life totals and capitalize on repeatable value.
Play Edward Kenway as a finisher that doubles as an engine. He is a 5 5 that demands the table answer Vehicles or face the steady erosion of resources through exiled top cards you can cast. The interaction fits well in three color shells that support artifact synergies and evasive attackers. Add this Mythic to a deck that wants predictable treasure generation and a hard threat that turns damage into card advantage.
