I'm surprised this card
didn't see more play. It definitely had it's
drawbacks as it was slow, not to mention there's
very few playable artifacts to search for.
Searching for a bunch of good creatures only to
have your opponent Disenchant the Skyship kinda
sucked too. Still, card drawing is card drawing.

I have been against
this card since I first saw it. The main
reason is that it is a huge gamble. You are
assuming that you can place cards out of the way
that you can get to and use. If you opponent
draws anything to get rid of Skyship Weatherlight
between the time you cast it and the time you use
the cards, it's a total waste.
The only way that the card is a total payoff is if
you get to eight mana. That way you can go
get at least one card and can get it right to hand
immediately. Then your next problem is that
you spent a turn using your mana to put the card
into your hand and still don't get to cast your
spell. It pretty much just functioned as an
expensive tutor spell.

This card is
horrible in my opinion. The only thing good about
it is its artwork. I would never put this in any
deck.

Skyship Weatherlight is one
of those cards that can look okay at first glance
and then horrible thereafter (unless your playing
5-Color). In Limited, you might have a few good
cards in your deck that you will want to fetch out
to stomp your opponent with (or just basic land
for stability). The problem lies in the fact that
if Skyship goes away, so do all those cards that
you just got. It doesn't get much better in
Constructed since many decks will have ways of
getting rid of artifacts quickly. If you go and
search out one of the key cards to your deck and
the Skyship goes away, the game just got harder
for you to win. This one's a Two-Star Turkey all
the way.

Um, this card pretty much sucks. Sorry - just wanted to intro a card
that way. Actually, it's good in the biggest "alternative" format - 5 Color
Magic. In that environment where everything is so spread, it's great. The
problem with it in any "60 card" constructed environment is you have to fear
artifact removal, which eliminates both the Weatherlight, and everything it
removed. Plus, it's a bit high cost on both casting and activation. Trust
me - if you want a tutor, there are much better things to use. In limited, I can see it being pretty useful. There, you often have
extra mana, and less chance of getting it removed. It can give you a good
3-4 turns of card economy, maybe enough to finish off an opponent. Take it
pretty high in a draft - first 3 or so picks, since it is colorless and
works anywhere.

Not all Legends
are worth playing. Especially not all Legendary
Artifacts. The Weatherlight is a piece of garbage
until it becomes the Legacy Weapon. Seriously. End
of story.
