Description Arr, all aboard the High Seas Bandwagon!!

I had an idea over the weekend for a creature that 'looted' in the more traditional sense of stealing gold and booty from other people. It just so happens that Ixalan previews started this week and boy it looks fan freaking amazing. Pirates and treasures and vampire conquistadors and dinosaurs and dino worshippers. I'm super hyped actually. So because of that, I sped up this bad boy's design so I could get something out while the excitement was going about.

When thinking about lootin and pillagin, two things came to mind. Pirates, and Orks. Because there's nothing more a pirate loves than treasure. And orks krump humies and loot shiniez. So it all fits together and that became what I wanted for this card. Fortunately, piratey orks happen to be a thing in Warhammer (They're called freebooterz, and they're pretty badass), so with a bit of research, I came up with this little guy. 

On the mechanical side, Kaptin Flagrippa lets you loot treasure from anyone who leaves the battlefield, as well as artifacts. This includes killing, bouncing, exiling and flickering, which are things blue/black/red are pretty good at. Whenever they die, they leave behind some loot, which anybody can take by aggressively attacking the lands where there's treasure about. Note that only opponent's creatures/artifacts will leave behind loot. Your creatures won't leave anything behind, cause they're savvy enough to keep all their belongings jealously guarded. This means that your opponents will more likely be fighting amongst each other for the lootz. (In single player, it just means your opponent won't benefit from dis Kaptin)

Thinking about giving this guy haste. Fits him being an ork and all. And as every ork oughta know, red cards go fasta. I think I'll let this one sit for the time being and come back to see if he needs a bit of a boost.

Shoutout to the artist FredrikEriksson1 who let me use his art on a very short basis. Thanks dude

Some points:

-The color indicator is redundant because he already has that color identity anyway.

-You have to spell the creature type "Orc" regardless of how the actual race is spelled in the specific setting (See: Boggarts and other alternative race names) unless you're making a new creature type, which I'm against on principle.

-The way it's worded, you can actually end up with loot counters on yourself, if you remove a foe's permanent that you own. I'm pretty sure that was a mistake.
