Strategy
Corsair War Galley is a potent initiative tool for the Raider culture. With Corsairs' various token-adding tricks, it is easy to gain the threshold of 6 Raider tokens on any card.
Because of the fact that Corsair War Galley spots Raider tokens on any Raider card, you can easily gain initiative and cycle your hand with Ships of Great Draught (8R65) . This fits snugly in either an Initiative Southron or Corsair strategy, as both need initiative to be completely effective, and having recursion in Ships of Great is a helpful bonus.
Within the Corsair archetype, gaining initiative allows for powerful cards like Corsair Lookout (8U56) and Wind That Sped Ships (8C66) to function. When you have multiple copies of the War Galley and a fleet of boats in your support area, you can discard a galley to allow for a well-timed Fierce in Despair (7R148) .
