Strategy
Bartolomé del Presidio leads a deck built from the cards players most often run with it, sacrificing its own creatures for value and draining the table. The list holds 12 ramp pieces, 9 pieces of targeted interaction, 2 board wipes and 9 sources of card draw, at an average mana value of 1.95.
Early: Use the early turns on mana and on the commander itself. Greedy Freebooter and the other 11 ramp pieces are there to power what comes after Bartolomé del Presidio, not to cast it - at 2 mana it should be on the table almost immediately.
Mid: Once the commander is down, the deck wants to be doing two things at once: advancing its own board and answering everyone else's. Swords to Plowshares is the first answer you will usually reach for, and Unearth keeps the hand full while you do it.
Late: Hold Damn for the turn the table gets ahead of you - with 2 in the deck you can afford to use one early and still have an answer later. At 1.95 average mana value the top end is cheap, so expect to deploy several spells a turn.
Win conditions: Wins by draining life a few points at a time while the board keeps recurring.
