Gemcutter Buccaneer — Forge Your Booty

They become Equipment in addition to being tokens and carry the equip Pirate 1 and equip 3 clauses, so you can turn your spoils into a recurring attack plan or piece of improvised removal on demand.
In Commander games the Buccaneer helps smooth mana and upgrade your board presence without needing elaborate support. It pairs well with on enter the battlefield pirates and any card that tutors or reanimates creatures. The printed text makes the functionality obvious so deckbuilding choices stay straightforward. If you want steady value and flexible payoffs in a red pirate theme the Gemcutter Buccaneer pulls its weight.
