Then at the beginning of your combat you can return, for free, a Pirate from your graveyard to the battlefield but you'll put a finality counter on it so if it would die, it gets exiled
Getting to 12 loyalty when this comes in at four isnt too hard, either
First, for each opponent, you can turn up to one non-Creature Artifact they control into a 0/4 Wall Artifact Creature with Defender for as long as you control this Saga
Your creatures can also help produce mana , either by making things cost less (like Goblin Anarchomancer and Drumhunter) or by letting you play more lands every turn (like Loot, Exuberant Explorer or Silverback Elder Elder)
Whenever a creature would die, its controller may its mana cost, if that player does, they may return it to their hand as a replacement effect
It has definitely helped me get better at remember my triggers and making sure to try and not miss any
