Cadet-Captain Mike Name: Shadow (Pirates)
Card: SM #PS-005 (Uncommon)
Points: 13
Masts: 4
Cargo: 6
Moves: L
Guns : 4S,4L,4L,4S
Hit %: 133 (S), 67 (L)
Ability: This ship may dock at an enemy home island and load one treasure. If able, she must leave on your next turn.

The Shadow has mediocre cannons and is too slow to use her ability effectively. As such, she set the standard for most of the home-island robbers that followed after her. That's a shame.

Six cargo is tempting, though. Give her a Helmsman and send her to the wild islands. Her four cannons won't be too useful, but four masts means she can take a pounding and still get home with the goodies. If, through incompetence, the enemy gives you a shot at his home island, then go for it. Just the possibility that you could try it will keep the enemy off balance, and your other ships will probably be left in peace.

The Shadow is far from the best ship you'll find. But those deep cargo holds can come in handy if you're playing for gold. She certainly deserves a chance to prove herself, maybe two chances.

Goldship rating: 4.5 / 5
Gun Ship rating: 2.8 / 5
Boarding rating: 3.0 / 5
Value for points: 3.4 / 5
