Still, I think it could use at least one more ability to make it a more interesting commander
Cards like Jim Hawkins, Poohs Pirate Ship, Kakamora, and others will make your other pirates perform better
In Commander, there are plenty of ways to generate unbelievable amounts of energy get something like a Sphinx of the Revelation going and Galvanic Discharge practically removes any creature by the late game
Overall, this card is a draw engine, and if you build around it, the strategy is perfectly playable, even if it's not to most players' taste, especially as playing cards exerted can be risky against more aggressive decks
Being able to put an exiled creature card onto your side of the battlefield is pretty nifty as well, and it's where Ashiok really lives
