Ramirez DePietro: Treasure-Hungry Captain

Ramirez DePietro, Pillager brings a pragmatic pirate plan to the table. The entry trigger asks for two life but pays back immediately with two Treasure tokens, which keeps your mana options flexible. The card rewards aggressive pirate combat by converting successful attacks into card advantage through exile and permission to cast the top card from the defender's library. Use him as a tempo engine that taxes opponents while fueling off-board resources.

In Commander shells that lean into Pirates and combat damage synergies this creature turns every successful swing into a miniature loot run. His ability is straightforward and repeatable, and it pairs well with evasion creatures and Pirate lords that push more damage through. The light play condition means the card is ready for competitive decks and casual tables alike without altering the rules text or usability.
