Captain kinda disagree with the notion that a $6 Duration „+1 Action, at the start of your next turn, +2 Cards, +1 Action“ (Horse Trainer + Turtle) is crazy. Captain on any cantrip is superior to the above and you are kinda sad when Pearl Diver is the best to pair with Captain.
Horse Trainer doesn't have the duration penalty; you're comparing Highwayman to Haunted Woods. And Captain is currently rated as the 26th best card, so anything comparing to that would ideally be tuned down a little bit.
I'd also like to add that Owl is A tier. Less easy to use than Otter, but still really strong.
Nah. As I said, Captain with Pearl Diver is super bad. Captain with something like Ironmonger is not broken and the advantage of Ironmonger easily compensates for the Duration.
Let us take another pick from the supposed list of broken Ways, Goat. Non terminally trash now, gain a Horse is fairly weak. Probably a weakish $4 and definitely far below the power level of $5s trashers like Junk Dealer and Upgrade. And we talk about a $6 …. So nah, nothing broken here either.
Horse Trainer is a weak $5.
