Strategy
Ghost of Ramirez DePietro is a sneaky tempo pirate that rewards you for filling graveyards while being hard to block. Your main game plan is to enable discard and mill effects—either your own or opponents'—so that when Ramirez deals combat damage, you're recovering valuable cards from the graveyard. Since it's a 2/3 flyer with partner, it slots perfectly into tempo or graveyard-focused shells where you're actively milling or making opponents discard. You win by attacking in early and often while gradually building value, turning each hit into card advantage while Ramirez slips past larger blockers.
The deck leans on efficient evasion, cheap cantrips, and blue's wheel effects to stock graveyards and push damage through. Cards that mill both players or force discard create the setup Ramirez needs. You're not going for a quick combo kill; instead, you're playing a grindy midrange game where every combat phase nets you resources. Once you've built a small army of flying threats and refueled your hand from the yard, you transition into a straightforward damage race.
