(Image credit: Wizards of the Coast) MTG Foundations promises to be a no-fuss gateway into one of thebest card games, and its decks are advertised as an on-ramp for Magic: The Gathering’s many playstyles. To provide a taste of what you should expect when it launches this November 15, GamesRadar+ can exclusively reveal one of those decks from the upcoming Beginner Box. Containing several pre-constructed decks built around popular archetypes in the game, ranging from life-stealing vampires to cats, the Beginner Box provides players with a ‘foundation’ for choosing which style of deck they like to play. The MTG Foundation cards we’ve been given to reveal for you are a good case in point. Meet the Pirate-themed deck, designed to frustrate and harry opponents. Pirates is a Blue deck built around versatility and making opponents pay for crossing them. The deck includes seven Island land cards, a special land card (Uncharted Haven, which represents a color of the player’s choosing when it enters play), seven creature cards, three enchantment and aura cards, and an equipment card.

Both the Skyship Buccaneer and the Storm Fleet Spy have the Raid keyword, which allows the player to draw a card when the creature enters play if the player has attacked that turn. The Kitesail Corsair, meanwhile, is flying only when attacking, which means it’s able to skim past most defenses for aggressive attacks. Image1of3 (Image credit: Wizards of the Coast) (Image credit: Wizards of the Coast) (Image credit: Wizards of the Coast) Blue decks are known for their ability to counter almost any strategy. The Pirate deck in the Foundations Beginner Box is a perfect example of what a blue deck can be capable of. Although it lacks a lot of punch, the Pirate deck is designed with versatility in mind. Players should enjoy combining the Pirate deck with other decks in the Foundations Beginner box to find the perfect deck combos, either to lean into the aggressive gameplay style or balance it out with characters and spells that have some staying power. You can check out the full Magic: The Gathering Beginner Box when it releases on November 15, 2024.
