The Captain’s primary objective is to acquire 20 artifacts and protect the Hellkite Tyrant for a turn. Her backup plan is to resolve a lethal Fireball variant with the help of treasures and damage doublers. A more challenging tertiary option is to win with commander damage using the same doublers in conjunction with her triggered ability.
They're definitely on the short list if Lannery fails to perform. Truth is, by the time I included everything on my mind when I had the idea, I ran out of space. In fact, hitting 40 nonland cards caught me off guard in deck construction. Also on my shortlist are cards to protect the good Captain as she attacks - probably the biggest vulnerability I see right now. Fortunately, I don't have to ride Lannery home all in one go, because she's pretty cheap. I hope to threaten on the artifact and burn fronts simultaneously. I can't say I really take stock in the commander damage option outside of a duel, and even then, I'd call it a long shot, but one thing I'm sure of is that this deck isn't grinding out a victory in the combat step like a Boros deck.
Consider Reckless Fireweaver to rack up damage with all those Treasure tokens.
Treasure Map should quickly transform into Treasure Cove, which lets you cash in some of those Treasure tokens for cards.

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
