On the whole, Steelswarm Operator looks a bit worse than something like Oaken Siren, but Im not going to complain about the ability to cast 4-mana artifacts on turn 3
I know this leaves off Discovery and Enterprise, as well as the movies, but you cant have it all
The Team Rocket set introduced Dark variants of popular Pokmon, and Dragonite's version features dramatic, moody artwork that still looks incredible decades later
They have strong sizes to casting cost, a strong ability when they are on the battlefield, and when they die they turn into their Temple, which taps for their mana and then heads back with a tap at sorcery speed but with a harder to do activation
Ill include outlaw commanders in this list and specifically evaluate them as pirate commanders
