Xanathar, Guild Kingpinutility$1.42A Dimir/X-multicolor commander that thrives on stealing or using opponents' cards, giving you a similar “play from others” gameplay pattern. It rewards hijacking resources and creates strong value from cards that aren’t yours.Gonti, Lord of LuxuryutilityBudget$0.30Exiles and lets you cast an opponent’s card, making it one of the cleanest functional overlaps for playing with cards you don’t own. It’s also in black, so it fits the same colors and theft-centric style.Etali, Primal StormfinisherBudget$0.42Repeatedly casts spells from opponents’ libraries, echoing the “use cards you don’t own” payoff. It’s a high-end finisher that converts stolen cards into immediate board impact.Prosper, Tome-Boundutility$14.93Rewards casting spells from exile with Treasure, which closely mirrors Don Andres creating Treasures off noncreature spells you don’t own. It’s one of the best color-identity and engine parallels in the format.Faldorn, Dread Wolf Heraldutility$6.22Creates tokens when you play cards from exile, giving a similar resource-conversion engine around off-zone cards. It’s more creature-token focused, but plays a comparable value game with stolen cards.Zara, Renegade RecruiterutilityBudget$0.29Steals creatures temporarily and makes them attack, matching the pirate-theft play pattern and board manipulation. While it doesn’t buff owned-by-opponent creatures, it strongly overlaps with the “use your opponents’ stuff” plan.Captivating CrewutilityBudget$0.29A repeatable theft effect in Rakdos that converts mana into borrowed creatures, similar to Don Andres’ stolen-board theme. It’s slower, but very on-plan for a pirate-adjacent midrange deck.Munitions ExpertremovalBudget$0.28A cheap removal option in black/red that fits the aggressive pirate shell and can be efficient in tribal or token-heavy boards. It isn’t a theft card, but it matches the deck’s low-curve interactive role.
