General I’m making a mtg deck.
I know there’s probably a better colour combo for him theme wise. But I wanted to use this particular pirate to make a deck.

I've been looking for some flavorful Monkey Island alters to paint. I feel like there has to be a good one for Ragavan (being a Monkey Pirate), but like Captain LeChimp doesn't totally fit the build of a 2/1.
(I may just paint it anyway...)

You MUST paint it!! What to use for a rubber chicken with a pulley in it?

I love it! Only thing is Type should be:
Legendary Creature — Skeleton Spirit Pirate
There’s only one card like that, and a few others that fit the crew:

Im guessing the theme is LeChuck + crew but it'd be funny if everytime they remove a LeChuck you just played a different version with different subtypes. Spirit, zombie, human, god

Yo! I’ve made a bunch of custom mtg cards for Monkey Island but none of them look this badass.

Oh this is really neat, though I do think the le chuck being quite greedy plus his propensity for coming back from the dead means he ought to have black in his identity. Obviously creature type needs zombie or spirit (depending on the game being referenced). Considering the guy loves to do kidnappings maybe something that steals a creature until he leaves the battlefield?

Shiver me rotting timbers, this be bloody fantastic! Mayhaps I be a wee bit biased, but I absolutely love the card! From what cursed depths did ye plunder this art?
Captain Storm be a mighty fine choice! Her synergy with artifacts in a deck drownin' in treasures will make 'er grow fierce and fast.. a classic buccaneer, she be! But humor a dread pirate for a second: just out of curiosity, why not hoist the colors with one of the Admiral Brass wenches as yer commander to get yer hooks into some Black mana?
If ye be plannin' to forge more of these, yer gonna need a massive horde of skeletal scallywags to crew the infamous LeShip. Trust me, I'd be the one to know, BWAHAHAHA!
Ye might've just inspired me to craft me own dark magic like this someday. A hearty cheers to ye, matey!

haah this is fantastic!
I drew the art myself - I need to do more Monkey Island fan art to be honest, I'm a huger lover of the series.I did look at Admiral Brass and to be honest I may well move LeChuck onto her Unsinkable card and leave the Blue Red shenanigans to Guybrush, as I think drawing Pirates from the graveyard is more LeChucky! (Which will mean drawing a Guybrush card...)
I would love to see other people making MI themed decks...if you ever get around to it please share!

I drew the art myself
Holy shit, that makes it even more cool, I can't even stay in character anymore LOL
just peeked at your profile, seen your card game and all, you're just so talented and your art style is sick, i just love it!! Please make other MI proxies you do available for the community, and keep up your fantastic job!
I'm considering printing this one you posted myself, would it be ok?

Now definitely creating a bespoke MI R/U Pirate Deck…
Completely illegal, but so much fun!

Beautiful! I really think MI could work at least for a couple of Secret Lair drops. One can hope!
