­Nezumi Cutthroat thought this needed a slight drawback. Given the 2/2 version is {1}{b}{b} (Severed Legion) rather than {2}{b}, I think that's probably right.

Hmm. What would you suggest? I don't want to make it exactly like Nezumi Cutthroat, though that's probably what would make the most sense.

Cannot attack alone?

That sounds excellent.

Yeah, you never see Space Pirates alone.

This card should be red or white, not black. "Cannot attack alone" is totally against black's philosophy, and is a lot closer to white's philosophy (The effect totally makes sense for troopers though). Pirates are all about freedom (red), not necessarily selfishness (black).

Eh; I could see pirates as selfish - they want the rewards and they're willing to do the horrible things (like attacking in a horde) to get it.

It is more of a red (cowardice) or white (preparedness) ability though, I agree.

hmm. That's a good point. I still think the space pirates should be black, because they don't much care about individual freedom and aren't very altruistic, even with themselves.

Bad Metroid games, Space Pirate Troopers aren't pirates :( . Heck, calling them Troopers pretty much outright disqualifies them from being able to be pirates.

you could make an argument for them being black/white, they are organized and follow orders in order to promote themselves as a whole.
