Booty Master IS undercover, though, right?

How powerful would such a card be? I guess it's hard to tell. Sure, you can attack six times without anyone knowing it was you. You better make those attacks count, though. I don't think it's overpowered. Also, I don't think there would be a need for a "cooldown" for this. Just make sure the card is sufficiently expensive (more than the suggested price, I think) - and the 40 turns to cast will also play a part. If you're gonna spend three of these; well, that's 120 turns and using three expensive legendary cards. Are you really gonna profit from that?

As a side note: If you want to hurt someone and remain anonymous, there are people for hire that do such things. Just sayin'....

Booty master is undercover, to a degree (depends upon fame levels). This card is as well, if you fail to win the battle, well, you gain the DR, the battle report shows who you are, and there ye be, standing in the light.

Expensive, yes - as 'profit' from it, sometimes profit is not the motivator for attacking someone. As to your side note, who would like such a card more than a hired mercenary?

I think there is place for just such a card....it simply needs tweaked and fine tuned to make a good fit.

Sometimes you have to attack with no great profit to be found, or even at great cost : its necessary to make a point, to draw a line and prove stepping over it comes with a penalty. I'll cite the recent Mexico invasion of the USA as such a case and, speaking personally, it was worth every coin it cost in terms of satisfaction and retribution exacted.

Assuming that is correct ***shudders**, I assume you would then WANT to be seen, and not use a card like this.

Anyway, I guess the card can have it's purpose. I suggest increasing the price a bit, though.

Made a few small edits too. Please re-read

a good use of this would be if you were a ally to a nation and you wanted to attack them without being seen

agreed. There are some very good uses, and I personally don't think its an OP card. I think it would be fun to have and play around with for sure.

3 Attacks only? -1, not much use. No one can "anonymously" sink a ship in 3 attacks.
