Pirates of Davy Jones’ Curse - #073 The Inquisitor

Name:  The Inquisitor

Set: PODJC

Card #: 073

Rarity: Rare

Type: Crew

Cost: 7 Points

Faction: Spanish

Link: La Catedral del Mar, El Cristal del Obispo, El Martillo de Dios, El Rafael, and Santos Romanos

Ability: Black Mark. If this ship succeeds at a boarding party, she may eliminate all of the other ship’s crew

Flavor Text: To have the Inquisitor notice you is to give up hope of a normal life.  With one glace you are faced with the punishment of god or banishment to the devil.  To hear his whispering voice is to hear the scratchings of 1,000 years of pain.

This is a phenomenal piece, though once again, it’s over-costed, ESPECIALLY if you use Black Mark.  However, the ability to eliminate all crew on another ship is particularly nasty.  Use with Castro’s Loyalists for a +1 to that all important boarding role, and try to get the Inquisitor on one of his linked ships for that +1 cargo bonus.

The only on-line stores stocking this piece have it higher than the Average Ebay store amount.  I’d say the auction route would be the way to go if you want to utilize this piece, and I would.  He’s one of the better and more unique crew in the game.

Pirates of Davy Jones’ Curse - #074A Don Osvaldo Guillen

Name:  Don Osvaldo Guillen

Set: PODJC

Card #: 074A

Rarity: Common

Type: Crew

Cost: 7 Points

Faction: Spanish

Link: Santo Columba

Ability: This ship may move and shoot using the same move action. 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.      

A captain with the super-boarding party ability, and wouldn’t you think that he would work well with The Inquisitor?  I sure do.  Yes, that ship would be loaded up with point cost, and the Spanish don’t have a Jonah type crew either, so you’d have to be very careful with that ship, but dang wouldn’t it be nasty if you could figure it out?
