Name: Cold Blooded
Card #081
Type: Advantage - Body
Rarity: Common
Payment: 1 Green
Card Effect: Your strikes have +1 Intercept while in
one of your zones with an ally.
Flavor Text: "They say ‘er sword, Silver Tongue, is
cursed—those cut down forfeit their souls."
I love this type of advantage, and typically I use
4X in every deck that I can. To me pumping up your
force and intercept is definitely one of the
stronger strategies, though if you rely on it too
much, you’re history. Of course, you can only use
Body Advantages with Greenbeard, Pintel & Ragetti,
Rachel Darling and Will Turner. You have the most
options with the first two, since they can both use
Dark allies, which seem to me to be stronger than
any other type of ally (Barbossa comes to mind). But
in the right Will Turner build, this card is
essential. Plus it’s an uncommon, so it’s easy to
get.

Cold Blooded is a very solid card. It is not quite
the little beater that its counterpart, Hot Blooded,
can be, but it is a very efficient way to add
intercept. It is also probably weaker than the
Avatar card that had the same effect in a charged
zone. And because it is a reactive card, opponents
cannot mess with your allies to affect it either.
All that said, Cold Blooded is an auto-play in any
Pirates efficiency deck.
