Angrath, Minotaur Pirate hits the board threatening an ultimate that steals permanents and deals damage on a six-loyalty clock — but six mana in Rakdos is a steep ask when that slot is crowded with closers. Outside a dedicated Pirates shell helmed by Admiral Beckett Brass, he rarely earns that cost.

Admiral Beckett Brass
Admiral Beckett Brass wants every Pirate it can find, and Angrath, Minotaur Pirate pulls double duty — ticking up to threaten a board-stealing ultimate while his Pirate type feeds Admiral's steal trigger whenever three Pirates connect.

Angrath, Minotaur Pirate is a Commander card through and through — the format's slower clock gives him room to ultimate, and tribal synergy with Admiral Beckett Brass makes him a genuine include rather than a filler curve-topper. In competitive constructed formats like Modern and Pioneer he's never seen meaningful play: six mana planeswalkers need to win the game on the spot, and Angrath's loyalty abilities don't come close to that bar. Legacy and Vintage are even less hospitable. Oathbreaker is worth a look if you want him as a signature spell target, but the six-mana cost strains that format's resource economy too.
