Here, I agree with orian. It was a good article, though; I liked how you compared the deck against several FP decks. Try taking out 1x Raider Halberd and putting in an extra Fierce In Despair. I give it a 4, but barely. |

| I don’t normally understand corsairs. If I feel like building a corsair deck anytime soon, I’ll copy this onto my computer. Corsairs are a hard deck to use, IMHO. |

| I find Corsair’s extremely boring by themselves, because there is basically very few cards to build a deck with them, and therefore almost all corsair decks are carbon copies... imo |

I think I misjudged the depth of your reflexion about corsairs
 
 
nevertheless my advices are based on the corsairs deck that made top8 in major events for 2 years and you can see that almost none play boatswan, none play ruffian, all run 4 plunderers 4marauders and 4 WTSS (and generally more than 1 Fierce in despair) |

my thoughts excatly I think therer were other things you could have done as well. if it was corsair 101 why not explain all the corsairs?
 
 
also fierce in decpair could be a beast so I would have mroe then one. |

| Guys, there is NO REASON to play more than one Fierce in Dispair. You can get it back with Ships of Great Draught. The only reason I could even possibly see running more than one copy is for better drawing consistancy (but even that’s pushing it, seeing how it will take you a bit to set up for it). And with all the cycling going on, you shouldn’t have much trouble getting it. |

just to say that I recently saw a deck that to me is simply killer, it relies on fierce in despair x4 + tons of tokens and WTSS to keep marauders alive. 
 
 
marauders + quelled discarding your opponents way of killing you
 
 
I had like 2 companions discarded each turn. That was simply crazY. I wonder if this deck could be the future of corsais   |

2 are needed to draw one early when your opponents play his companions but has not played dmg+X cards yet |
