Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Captain Howler and his crew are here to take names, and plenty of booty right from you. The deck wants to get an evasive creature down early, and start getting in there , while setting up to bring Howler out along with a discard or two.\n\nThe deck makes use of a number of wheels to help pump a lot, and get cards flowing. There is some limited interaction and protection spells. The deck's curve is low (most things with cycling here are cycle) with only 1-2 cards that cost more than 4. It is surprisingly mana hungry with abilities, and wheels there.\n\nThe deck is not fully optimized - Wheel options could be improved, as could some of the creatures (where's my Invisible Stalker). Fierce Guardianship would be a good game changer because the deck can often be low on mana.\n"}]}
