H.M.S. Bounty, Unlikely Timeship

H.M.S. Bounty is a flying Spacecraft that rewards you for dealing combat damage by drawing cards and enabling extra turns once you control a Whale. The core gameplan is to tutor out a Whale (a small creature type with growing support in the set), deal combat damage to create card advantage, and leverage that draw to fuel more turns. You're essentially building a tempo-control deck that pivots into extra-turn threats: early Whale tutoring sets up your late game, then each hit triggers both card draw and an extra-turn trigger, letting you grind out victory through commander damage or simply overwhelming opponents with time and resources.

The deck leans into blue's classic strengths—cantrips, efficient flyers, and card draw—while the Whale synergy gives you an unusual tribal flavor. You'll pack cheap flying creatures and evasion effects to ensure H.M.S. Bounty connects, then fill the deck with extra-turn payoffs (Temporal Trespass, Capture of Jingzhou) and control elements to protect your board. Since Whales are rare outside this set, you'll include any blue creatures that function similarly (flying, evasive, low-cost) as pseudo-Whales, and fill slots with mana ramp, card selection, and bounce effects to set up combat wins.
