hmmm. It's like Mindgate. You can't do the rewind combo with it though, but you can be guarenteed a creature, which is probably it's main selling point over mindgate.

What if they have no creatures though? I assume you get nothing.

[Drobbit]

If there are no creatures you get nothing, so then it will be a useless card. But I gess it would be very very rare.

[Drobbit]

Don't you think that the cost could be lowered due to the mix of elements here?

[Ryli]

I like it where it is, due to the fact it can be more stable. If you do reduce the cost though, it should be 1 to both casting costs. It will probably become unbalanced if you do anything with the ability cost though.

I kind of like it, but as morningstar say, reducing the cost by 1 quanta could potentially make it a more intriguing card over Mind Gate, excluding the potential weaknesses of the card (getting weak creatures, getting no creatures if you're up against a Fire stall deck, etc.). Out of all your Pirate cards so far, I'd unfortunately would have to say that this card would probably be completely ignored in the polls due to its overwhelming similarity to Mind Gate, but who knows, this could be a fun permanent to play along with in a duo.

Hummm that makes me think about puting some changes on the card to make it more sweet.
The original thought was: "Put a random creature from your deck into your hand"
I don't know why I did not go through. How do you see it?

[Ryli]

That could easily be manipulated, by only having 1 (or several copies of 1) creature in your deck, which makes sure you draw it. It takes away from the point of the card.

[Drobbit]

Yeah, that reminded me why I went throught the actual option
I see a lot of utilities for this card. In a rainbow deck you can almost forget about puting creatures into your deck, you can play with the opponent ones. And if you have some of this in play... well, imagine.

Maybe I'll just low the cost as says Kuroaitou. I can't figure how to improve this card.

[Drobbit]

Cost lowed and image changed (I hope I finally get it).
For a theme pourpose I added the title of the ability (Stand by for boarding!), because I think that explains the meaning of the card. I pretended, for my pirate series, to figure that both me and the opponent are ships and the creatures are the mariners/pirates in that ships. This card is like a boarding card that aproaches both ships to kidnap some creatures (in a copy aether way).

-After careful research, the art that you used had this as its main source (Use this link in the ART section of the table): http://www.fondosgratis.com.mx/items/3d/vehiculos/2828_carabelas-en-combate/
-*Please try to keep the ability name simple. Remove the exclamation mark from the ability name (i.e. - rename it to something more appropriate, like "Aboard", or even "Fishing"


* = suggestion

[Drobbit]

Changes done.
I preffered not to change the ability name, because it is part of the thematic. I used the same style in other cards like Pirate Ship or Pirate Island.

The issue this seems to have over mind gate is that the only way to get the quanta to play the creature is to generate it yourself. So unless you're a rainbow, you won't be able to play the creatures from 10 of the 12 elements.
