Pirates: Spicy Brew
Three Rishadan pirates each make the opponent sacrifice a permanent unless they pay, so the whole deck exists to make sure they never have the mana: Rishadan Port, Wasteland and Aven Fogbringer strip lands while Ancient Tomb and Mox Diamond deploy the crew a turn early. Tradewind Rider then bounces your own pirates back to hand to charge the toll all over again. One warning before you sleeve it up: Parallax Tide was banned in January 2026, so those two slots need a legal replacement today.
