Pirates at Ocean's Edge

Pirates at Ocean's Edge is Wizkids ninth expansion in the Pirates of the Spanish Main series. This set was released in April 2007. It features giant crabs, prehistoric sharks and sea dragons. It also features the return of the junk ship from Pirates of the South China Seas and galleys from Pirates of the Barbary Coast. Three new ship types, Windcatchers, Sea Dragons and Catamarans, were added as well. A new terrain feature, whirlpools creates an additional navigation hazard. Along with being sold in the traditional booster pack format, the set also feature new two-player Mega-Packs, which are currently the only way to get sea dragons, windcatchers or catamarans. The story has been developed. Davy Jones, from Pirates of Davy Jones' Curse has returned with more power. Also a number of ships from South China Seas have been converted to English, French or Cursed. There is a new promotion, a Pirate 10-masted Junk, the Zeus, linked to Emperor Blackheart (often listed as 'King Blackheart'), as well as some other ships.

Set details

This is the first set to feature 32 Islands instead of the customary 16.

This set featured some new Mechanics:

Notable ships

Zeus-The largest Pirate ship in the game, and one of 6 ten masters. (For now) It is the cheapest of all 6 10 mast ships, and was formerly the Baochuan. It is assumed that its captain, Zheng He, was killed in the attack by the newly crowned Emperor Blackheart.

Divine Dragon- A new Cursed ship risen from the ocean depths by the power of El Fantasma. Its ability gives it all rank 3 cannons against all non-Cursed ships for a price of only 16 points.

Ghost Walker- A new American windcatcher ship (one of two). It is a special project conducted by the Americans. A prototype was stolen by the pirates, however. The Ghost Walker has the ability to cancel one ability per turn.

Shal-Bala-Is a Cursed dragon, which is one of Davy Jones' most powerful underlings.

Brachyura- A cursed titan crab. There are two different Brachyuras that are exactly the same, except that there is a super rare version with 'glitters'.

HMS Grand Temple - Rare, English 6 mast ship with very accurate cannons (2 of them are ranked 3 with range S and 4 ranked 2 with range L). Quite fast (S+S) and with capacity 3, ideal for crew (Pirate crew may use their abilities on it) and with ability Junk (ship's masts aren't blocking her line of fire).
