About Storm Fleet Swashbuckler

Storm Fleet Swashbuckler, Creature — human pirate, designed by Kieran Yanner first released in Jan, 2018 in the set Rivals of Ixalan. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of € 0.30.

A deck that focuses on quickly amassing permanents would benefit from including Storm Fleet Swashbuckler, particularly in an aggressive red deck that can easily achieve the city's blessing condition. While this card can be powerful with double strike, there are potentially better options like Adanto Vanguard or Swiftblade Vindicator that offer similar effects with more consistency and versatility. Ultimately, whether Storm Fleet Swashbuckler sees play would depend on the specific strategy and synergy of the deck it's included in.

Rules

19/01/18

A permanent is any object on the battlefield, including tokens and lands. Spells and emblems aren’t permanents.

19/01/18

Ascend on a permanent isn’t a triggered ability and doesn’t use the stack. Players can respond to a spell that will give you your tenth permanent, but they can’t respond to getting the city’s blessing once you control that tenth permanent. This means that if your tenth permanent is a land you play, players can’t respond before you get the city’s blessing.

19/01/18

If Storm Fleet Swashbuckler gains double strike after it has dealt regular combat damage, it won’t go back and deal first-strike combat damage. On the other hand, if it gains first strike somehow and then it gains double strike after dealing first-strike combat damage, it will also deal regular combat damage.

19/01/18

If you control ten permanents but don’t control a permanent or resolving spell with ascend, you don’t get the city’s blessing. For example, if you control ten permanents, lose control of one, then cast Golden Demise, you won’t have the city’s blessing and the spell will affect creatures you control.
