Do you like Dolly Parton? Are you ready for people to constantly sing "Joleeeeeeene" at you and it not be funny after the 12th time? Have I got a deck for you...

A balancing act of a deck of creating and using treasure to kill people with a multitude of options.

Contains enough removal, strength, and utility for you to hold your own

How to win

Voltron-ene

Jolene, the Plunder Queen has an amazing buff ability, however getting 20 treasures out can be difficult on a budget

Cards like Brass's Bounty and Reckless Endeavor, can help pull large amounts of treasure at burst.

Else, slowly gaining them throughout time and then doubling with Second Harvest and Parallel Evolution are just as good

Once treasured up, use Whispersilk Cloak, Access Tunnel, Gilded Pinions plus more to sneak her through

If for whatever reason, you didn't quite do enough, you can always Fling Jolene at someone's face (or if she's about to die)

Burn 'Em Down

Sometimes, one big Jolene might not be the answer or you might need to finish a couple low life opponents off. This is where burn comes in {R}

When you create a bunch of treasures, cards like Ingenious Artillerist and Reckless Fireweaver can do 10+ damage to all in a turn and if left alone could hit burn some more (Though will mostly draw hate)

Pyre-Sledge Arsonist is a great tool for A. mass-sacrificing treasures to Jolene or B. just before a board wipe

Just Win

Hellkite Tyrant will never see a rotation at the table (or see you alive by upkeep)

However, with Magda, Brazen Outlaw, you can pull Hellkite Tyrant at instant speed just before your turn

A flaky combo but with a mix of treasures and general artifacts, plus Feldon of the Third Path to even target Magda, Brazen Outlaw, it is pretty easily sprung on opponents

Utilities

A Treasure Isn't For Christmas

• Inspiring Statuary and Jaheira, Friend of the Forest turns treasure from one-use to more lands!
• Fangren Marauder turns treasure from win-con to live longer
• Ghirapur AEther Grid doesn't require you to use treasures to pick off creatures or chip at health

• Rampage of the Clans good removal, but also great for changing Treasure into 3/3 bodies

Other People Are Doing Better

Blasphemous Act to wipe the board when people start going wide!

Disrupt Decorum is great for making people lose valuable creatures and blockers

Boom / Bust is great for pesky land removal like Maze of Ith or better for wiping everyones mana. You've always got treasure as a kickstarter

Visions of Ruin has to be played at the right time for removal, but is also great for essentially "stealing" treasures if they've been triggering Jolene

Upgrades

The deck can be easily upgraded if you feel like splashing the treasure!

• Parallel Evolution -> Parallel Lives is an obvious upgrade. Much better with counter benefit for Jolene
• Savage Ventmaw -> Ancient Copper Dragon is just a better dragon upgrade
• Gadrak, the Crown-Scourge -> Goldspan Dragon is another better dragon upgrade
• Impulsive Pilferer -> Dockside Extortionist while 535x the price (currently), is great for recursion
• Fires of Yavimaya -> Xenagos, God of Revels is a better spot "Haste" creator and for getting Jolene online
• Daretti, Scrap Savant -> Goblin Welder as a repeatable treasure to artifact recursion tool (plus its not a hatebearing planeswalker)
• Boom / Bust -> Devastation hit creatures as well, leaving you with no blockers and treasures to pull back the missing land from
