Legendary Pirates

[Hakima]

Flavor Text

The High Seas can be a place of wonderment and adventure, but just as often, they can be a cruel and unforgiving mistress. Only the bravest of souls will ever choose to try and endure her harsh and temperamental treatment, sailors and pirates, but only a few of them - the Legendary Pirates - will ever make it to the goals they set out to accomplish. The rest of the hopeless souls - the Unworthy Pirates - will meet their end when the tide rises. What about you? Will you ascend to the top and take your place among legendary names like Davy Jones, or capsize along with the masses?

Cove of Legends

Field Card

While this card is face-up on the field: once per turn, you may use an “Unworthy Pirate Token” as material for an Xyz Summon, but only for the Summon of a “Legendary Pirate” monster.

If this card would be destroyed, you can remove 1 “Legendary Treasure Counter” instead.

Information

I wasn't going to post this until I had an entire deck written out, but I hit a block on where to go. Since I'm kind of new at this whole card creating thing, do any of you have some advice on how I could change what I have to be more balanced, or cards I could create that would add more synergy to the deck?

 

Legendary Pirates = the boss monsters

 

Unworthy Pirates = a bit of an engine, a bit of utility

 

Pirate's Stash = Set of spells I plan to flesh out more

 

It will probably become obvious pretty fast that I have a thing for pirates. xD

I've searched for the creators of the other two images, but I can't seem to find them. I just know that I didn't make them.

Bump. Edited the deck a lot and added a bigger line-up of monsters. Was trying to do something unique with them, but it's either OP or UP. CnC wanted.

Looks awesome, can't wait to see what else you have in store! I'm not the best person for OCG fixes, but from what I can tell you don't have any errors aside from the caps on Francis Drake's first line. I actually came here from your intro post, so I'm also going to welcome you to the community!
