The 10 Best MTG: Arena Beginner Decks (MTG: Arena Best Starter Decks): Page 5 of 10
6. Pirates
Tribal decks have proven again and again that tutors on legs are efficient enough. The second ability will take a chunk out of their life total if not dealt with swiftly.
Tribal strategies are great for beginners, with obvious synergies and strategy. The pirate decks on Arena are derived from Ixalan and can take on one of two roles in three colors. They range from R/B aggro strategies to U/B/r tempo builds, all offering their own advantages and disadvantages. This particular aggro list looks to swarm the board with vicious pirates to kill your opponent before they have a say. You start by deploying cheap threats and assessing as time goes on.
The main advantage of this deck is the exceptionally low curve, with as many one-drops (creatures that cost one mana) as anything else. You can do a lot of damage before your opponent can go wide or wipe the board. It’s hard to remove all of these threats efficiently, so something will stick. Kitesail Freebooter, and Direfleet Poisoner help you deal with problem cards in your mid game. Your three drops, particularly Forerunner of the Coalition, draw you cards and help you deal those extra points of damage before things get dicey.
