Pirates of Davy Jone’s Curse - #061A Commander
Spencer Portland
Name: Commander Spencer Portland
Set: PODJC
Card #: 061A
Rarity: Common
Type: Crew
Cost: 7 Points
Faction: English
Ability: Once per turn before you give this ship an
action, roll a d6. On a 5 or 6, this ship may be
given the same action twice. This ship’s crew cannot
be eliminated unless she sinks.
Flavor Text: Portland’s disgust at having to answer
to Van Tyne and hear rumors of monsters and other
nonsense has him working his crew extra hard,
preparing them to fight for the crown—not some
fool’s errands.
So Commander Portland has VIRTUALLY the same ability
as the original Sir Christopher Myngs (SM-EC-002),
only Myngs doesn’t have the second part about crew
not being eliminated, and costs 4 points less. Oh
he’s also a rare instead of a common. AND he has a
linked crew. All reasons why if you’re thinking
about playing Portland, play Myngs instead.

Pirates of Davy Jone’s Curse - #-59 Trevor Van Tyne
Name: Trevor Van Tyne
Set: PODJC
Card #: 059
Rarity: Rare
Type: Crew
Cost: 7 Points
Faction: English
Link: HMS Bretwalda
Ability: This ship gets +1 to her boarding rolls
against the Cursed. As part of a move action, this
ship may initiate a boarding party against a ship up
to S away from her, without having to ram. The
boarded ship may not use any boarding bonuses.
Flavor Text: It did not surprise anyone that Van
Tyne would risk his reputation vanquishing monsters,
demons, and beasts in the New World. What surprised
many was how long it took him to find a woman to
share the glory. But one glance at Mademoiselle
Godiva, and it was a done deal.
Is it me or does Trevor look a lot like Hugh Jackman
in Van Helsing? He’s a faction hater with the
super-boarding action, for 7 points. Seems awfully
expensive to me. One of those great in theory game
pieces that will virtually never see game play in a
competitive environment. But hey, that’s a pretty
picture isn’t it?
Wild’ Will’s Patented EBAY Auction Review 7-30-06
# Closed Auctions: 1
Sale Amount: $0.99
Average EBAY Store Amount: $3.00
It would seem that collectors agree with me, not
paying more than a buck for this bad boy. Sure the
Ebayers and singles merchants would have you pay
$3-5 for any portrait rares, but we know better,
don’t we.
