This is the first card with landhome, but why would anyone use the pinging ability on this card, it's a 4/3, attack with it...This is a very flavorful card...

PIRATE SHIP.

PIRATE SHIP.

I like the flavor of this card, especially its tap ability. It's like you're turning it to fire port!

The proof that Blue not only values logic, knowledge and giant sea monsters, but also PRECIOUS BOOTY!

i am giving this 4.5 stars just for having the best flavor i've ever seen.

Let's break it down... the Pirate Ship can't "attack" the other players unless there's a water path to that player. However, it can shoot tiny cannon balls at creatures and planeswalkers once a turn. But if you don't have an Island for the ship to hang out at, the ship gets marooned, and dies.

@Flaming0: I completely agree. Tapping the ship feels like you're firing a broadside, but attacking with it (when you're able to) feels like your pirates are raiding an island or a sea port. Funny thing is that your pirates do more damage in melee combat than when firing the ship's cannons. Guess they're a bad shot? or perhaps the ship isn't well equipped - mind you, it has to be light and swift to catch up to those Merchant Ships.

Yar har fiddle dee dee...

Being a pirate is alright to be,
Do what you want cause a pirate is free,
You are a pirate!
