NAME: Pirate Island ELEMENT: Earth COST: 5 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: : By the powers! Burrow target permanent. It can't be used or targeted.

ART: http://www.filterforge.com/forum/read.php?FID=11&TID=6431 IDEA: Drobbit and Liruken NOTES: Permanents with passive abilities as Pillars can't use it's skills as well. If Pillars are targeted they get out of the stack when burrowed and return to the stack when unburrowed, so you can't affect the entire stack. Better use to avoid your permanents being destroyed or to deny an enemy hourglass to work for one turn because after unborrowing it it needs one turn to activate its abilities.

Why not call the skill jolly roger? Saw that card already.

Notes edited. Now it affects also passive abilities (like quanta generation) but can not affect the entire stack of pillars, just one. I did that to make a difference between this card and Protect Artifact. This card protects your artifacts but they are useless while protected.

Decent idea, but the skill change to 0: Unburrow will overwrite whatever the permanent previously was able to do.

[Drobbit]

that's it
Pirates like to burrow they treasures on a lonely island. So why not to be able to burrow your permanents (or the opponent's ones) to protect them? But also you won't be able to use them until you unburrow them.

I think it's very ingenious. 
I like it! 

But ability name is funny.

What if one were to use this skill upon a Vampire Dagger and then Fly it?  Does the Vampire Dagger stay burrowed on the field?

you cant fly something that is burrowed, that would mean technically targeting it, but if i am wrong, then that is how i should be

Actually, Flying Weapon does not target the weapon slot, similar to how you can Fly a Morning Glory when it is immortal.

[Drobbit]

if you fly a protected weapon it doesn't become immortal, so you'll still be able to fly a burrowed weapon and it won't be burrowed.
the only thing you can't do while burrowed is use it (it doesn't attack and you can't use its abilities)

ok maybe i was wrong on both accounts, thnaks for the correction

Drobbit, in my post above I meant permanently overwrite.  Like if you use Liquid Shadow on a creature that had an ability (say, Devour), that ability can only be recovered via Reverse Time.
