Pirates of Davy Jones’ Curse - #034 Harbinger

Name:  Harbinger

Set: PODJC

Card #: 034

Rarity: Rare

Type: Ship

Cost: 16 Points

Masts: 5

Cannons: 3L, 2S, 2S, 2S, 3L

Cargo: 5

Movement: 1L

Faction: Pirates

Link: Jack Hawkins

Ability: 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: Captain Jack Hawkins used trickery and deception to steal his beloved Harbinger back from Blackheart. Now he must watch his back, as Blackheart will use the most unholy means to get her back.

Call me crazy, but if I have both versions of this ship, I’m going to use the original.  Sure it costs one more point, but the original’s ability is so much better than this new one.  Also the original’s fore and aft guns are slightly better (2L instead of 3L).  So you don’t get to Jack Hawkins (the NEW Jack Hawkins that is, not the previous two versions).  Whoopee.  I can do without that link.  As an update ship, this Harbinger really isn’t worth the slot in the set.

Low Sale Amount: $0.99

Average EBAY Store Amount: $7.47

It just goes to show that Ebay stores are usually overpriced.  An AVERAGE of $7.50 isn’t even among the highest sales in the last 90 days.  Most players realize this ship is not all it’s cracked up to be.
