Template:Blackwater Pirate strategy

This card is obviously only desirable in decks that have weapons. And because of its low stats but relatively high cost, it's best to equip the weapon the same turn you summon the Pirate, since the opponent may remove it before your next turn. Blackwater Pirate is best played in a deck with many weapons, ensuring it is available when needed.

Playing a weapon card with a cost of at least 2 while Blackwater Pirate is on the board effectively recoups 2 mana from its otherwise high summoning cost, making this card reasonably efficient even if only a single weapon is played before it is removed, providing a 2/5 for 2 mana. If the player is able to keep the Blackwater Pirate alive long enough to equip additional weapons, the card will quickly become highly efficient.
