Piracy Charm - Kills bob, snapcaster, some merfolk. Pumps a flipped delver, can have a player discard two cards at instant speed for 1UUU, with the aid of snaps. Anyone try this out?
What does it fit in that doesn't really already have better options?
The thing I like best is that kills an unflipped delver

Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.
It's versatile but practically the only thing you'll use it for is to kill 1-toughness creatures.
Islandwalk? Card disadvantage.
Discard? If you don't get to choose, it sucks.
+2/-1? It kills 1-toughness dudes, but so does Gut Shot. It pumps your creatures, but Gut Shot can be aimed at face too.
Gut Shot or Darkblast would be better slots for removal.
I don't know, being able to make an opponent discard at instant speed is not all that easy to come by, and can be oppressive at the right point in the game. If you can find the room I don't think it is a terrible idea at all.
I'd rather have Gut Shot or Vapor Snag at that cost-ish. Gut Shot goes to the dome or as removal, and Vapor Snag can deal with way more than one toughness dudes. The versatility is nice, and instant speed discard is neat, but I'd rather have reliability and a hint more versatile reach, at least in most decks I've run Snappy in.

This is why I started playing magic in the first place. It wasn't PT aspirations just making noobs cry by doing things that are perfectly fair.
Imo, best case scenario is casting this twice for discard when your opponent draws and they're at two cards, and they're not playing instant/flash cards.. I can see where these somewhat functionally similar cards loses value.
I don't think Gut Shot is better though. Vapor Snag.... I can see that being better. I can see Path to Exile being better that than unless straigt blue is a requirement, or you're playing U/B

Seems good if people are playing enough 1-toughness creatures. Bob, snapcaster, vendillion clique, and delver are the biggest threats, i think.

Some facts of magic:
-Terror is an emotion which, when experienced, results in death.
-The pox was a disease notorious for having killed one-third, rounded up, of Europe’s population. Smallpox, on the other hand, killed only a single person.
-A person riding a horse cannot be stopped by foot soldiers, large animals, walls, archers, or even catapults.
Venarian Glimmer. An :xmana::symu: instant discard, but YOU get to pick.
Cool card, thanks. Mind find a home in my Grixis control sideboard...
