About Merchant Raiders

Merchant Raiders, Creature — human pirate, designed by Deruchenko Alexander first released in Oct, 2020 in the set Commander Legends and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.

This card, Merchant Raiders, would be beneficial in a Pirate tribal deck in Magic: the Gathering, where it can synergize well with other Pirate creatures to control the board by tapping down opposing creatures. While Merchant Raiders can be a useful addition to such a deck, there are potentially better options like Kitesail Freebooter or Siren Stormtamer that offer more immediate impact or versatility. However, Merchant Raiders could still see play in a more casual Pirate-themed deck for its thematic appeal and potential control strategy.
