Name: El Fantasma (Cursed)
Card: RF #017 (Rare)
Points: 7
Keyword: Loyal:Cursed, Eternal, Fear.
Ability: Once per turn before you give
this ship an action, roll a d6.
On a 5 or 6, this ship can be given the same action
twice.
This is El Fantasma's fifth appearance in Pirates.
He started life as a home-island robber in the
Pirate faction, switched to the Cursed as soon as he
could, and shifted his focus from robbery to battle.
He gives the Eternal keyword to whatever ship he's
on, and spreads Fear (a somewhat overrated ability)
one-third of the time. Add the SAT ability and
you've got a nasty mix of abilities. Seven points is
more than a lot of people will pay for crew, but
it's a fair price for what he gives you.
Many Cursed players will prefer the OE version (sac
captain), though, and since you can't use both at
once, this version of El Fantasma may not see much
action.
Keyword: Loyal:Pirate.
Ability: Once per turn, roll a d6. On a 5 or 6, this
ship can be given an extra action.
Sean costs you 5 points for an extra action. Calico
Cat gives a same-action-twice, a similar but less
flexible ability, for only 3 points. Guess which one
will be used more.
Or we could compare him to other 5-point crews. The
OE Crimson Angel gives both a SAT and a world-hater
for the same cost as Sean's second action. Guess
which one will be used more.
Unless your plan of action involves more than just
move/shoot combos, I can't recommend Sean. If you
plan to use a Shipwright, or both a captain and a
reverse-captain on the same ship, he might very well
earn his keep, though. He's useful, but overpriced.
