Set Sail With Treasure
The Belligerent fits into aggressive artifacts and tempo decks where card advantage must be generated through combat. The Belligerent gives you a Treasure token every time it attacks and then opens the top of your library as a usable resource for the rest of the turn. As a five five Vehicle with Crew 3 it doubles as a threat and an engine. The extended art foil shows the ship riding a storm which matches the practical feel of trading damage for value in midgame states.
In play the card rewards disciplined sequencing. Attack first, collect a Treasure, then use the newly revealed top card to follow up with a land drop or a castable spell. It reads well both in decks that want to ramp and in red blue artifact shells that can capitalize on Treasure synergy. The Belligerent is a useful piece for pilots who prefer predictable lines and repeatable on attack effects, especially in the Lost Caverns of Ixalan environment.
