It really is super fun it's just not the best in the current meta in my experience. Who knows what they'll add next set to really push it over the top though. I'd like to see them support it more since it's really the only deck right now that is super location focused.

I've been playing a pirates deck focused more on challenging with Queen of Hearts and Shere Khan. It's pretty fun! It doesn't run bayou because 3 will power is just too low to stay on the board, but it pretty much runs all the other locations, along with John silver and Jim Hawkins.

@chrislandon4629 3 ай бұрын

Very cool deck. Been trying it on Pixelborn and this is probably my favorite currently. I am missing a lot of cards but have pushed them all to the top of my wish list. Fun factor is more important than having ‘the best’ deck for me, but this one is surprisingly good and you still get the fun pirate theme. I’d love to see your take on a villain deck at some point. My Amber Amethyst villain deck is my labor of love currently and I am working on optimizing it.

@thenerdcaveyt 3 ай бұрын

We did do an amber amethyst aggro build video. John was previously playing it with the queen that boosts villians quest power but we cut her ultimately. I could definitely try my hand at putting something together one of these days. Just brewed up a Sapphire steel deck I'm enjoying that I'll be sharing soon most likely. Appreciate the idea though, I have deck adhd sometimes haha. Hope you continue to enjoy the pirate build, if I was going to tweak anything based on meta it would probably be dropping a red hook & the 2 jim hawkins for more direct removal if needed.
