this card is so incredibly underpowered.
i leave it a little smile though for the realistic orientated effect. ;)

yet since they didn't change the oracle to "sacrifice this creature", you could also use it with bounce effects to destroy some of you opponent's creatures. this will still be quite expensive, but it's the only good use i could think of...

I wouldn't say that this card is worthless... Like Mode said, you can use it to destroy enemy creatures. This + Master Transmuter = repeatable creature destruction.

@AlphaNumerical:
I suggest you read the card again. Creatures destroyed by the Barge can't be regenerated.

Use with flickerwisp and Glimmerpoint Stag. Maybe a Galepowder Mage so you can spend all your mana on sinking your opponent's creatures.

Kinda funny how if you give a giant sea monster like Lorthos or the god of the sea a ride in your boat and it sinks, they drown.
