Description
Quick Loot, Reliable Swing
Plundering Pirate is a compact red threat that buys you tempo the moment it hits the battlefield. The card name tells the intent. For {2}{R} you get a 3/2 Orc Pirate that immediately creates a Treasure token when it enters the battlefield, providing flexible mana or a fuel source for sacrifice synergies. In aggressive builds the body applies pressure while the Treasure smooths early curves or enables a surprise spell on the same turn.
The Lost Caverns of Ixalan foil printing gives this Common a crisp presentation and the artwork reinforces its role as a value engine and early attacker. Use Plundering Pirate in decks that prize efficient creatures and artifact interactions. It pairs naturally with cards that benefit from Treasure tokens and with decks that want reliable two drop pressure plus a resource on arrival.
