So, a comboing version of Owl's Eye that only lasts 5|6 turns unless buffed? Interesting.

So... does this effect happen each turn or only the turn its played... or is it an activated skill... or a skill that occurs upon attack. A little more detail would help with balancing here.

Interesting concept though.

Added such details to the notes section.

Kinda underpowered. The only deck I can think where this would be useful is comboing it with SoPa and inundation to stall until you can OTK. But I still think using SoPa with wardens and tridents would work better for this type of deck (after 2 turns the wardens are dealing more than 3 damage per guard), even with the lack PC.

I was thinking it could be mixed with Steam Machines.

The problem is that you need flooding for this to work. As this is a fire card you'd need to keep unflooded spots free so this would need to be among the first creatures you draw. If you draw this early but don't have a flood, the fire quanta would be better used buffing the steamies. If you just play early you are wasting turns of CC unless you have purify. I think squids would work better in this case even wth their ability not being free.

My suggestion is either making this a permanent or immune to flooding.

[ARTHANASIOS]

I think the idea is good but having forced combo with a card outside its element ( Flooding ) greatly reduces both its power and its versatility. Problem is, neither nor have health-buffing cards ( , , ) or creature swarming cards ( , ) to manipulate this combo for something more powerful. However, the relatively low cost of the card as well as the zero-cost of its automatically activated ability is going to give this card some good use.

I like the idea, but I don't like the forced combo nature of this card. I would suggest having the boat lose 2 HPs regularly, 1 HP if "flooding" is in play. I would also, then, decrease the cost of both cards, or change the HP values.

[OdinVanguard]

What if the ability has some other negative effect unless flooding is in play rather than requiring flooding.

For example: "Loses 2 HP (1 HP if flooding is in play) and deals 3 damage to random creature each turn."

Or maybe:

"Loses 1 HP and deals 3 damage to random creature each turn. Absorbs each turn unless flooding is in play." (substitute if forced duo is desired)

There is plenty of space on the card to fit in something else so you have a pretty wide range of options.
