This card is pretty useless...Lifegain is largely irrelevant, and it has Islandhome...One of the worst creatures ever printed...

Why does this not have the type 'Ship'?

Useless. Merfolk of the Pearl Trident win games faster than this.

Well, it's quite charming, at least.

What a wonderfully flavorful card. I wish something like this would be printed these days, with a more useful rules text.

This card likes Spreading Seas. Just saying.
And @A3Kitsune: How many other cards do you know that could possibly have the subtype "Ship"?
That's why.

I love this. It's flavorful and fun to play in multiplayer. I just wish it would draw you a card too.

If this let you draw a card, it would have been an insta-sideboard against all blue decks. As it is, it's one of the worst creatures ever printed.

Can be a sideboard against blue!??!?!?

Man, if you can get 2 swings in, you just effectively cast sacred nectar for 1 mana! And have a chump blocker to boot! Talk about good!
