Wondered what the Navy mechanical themes really would be a bit, and thought up this gem.
There is already an artifact/enchantment theme in the set with Treasures/Vehicles and voyages/Curses, but Treasures will be Pirate-leaning and Curses are Sealife-leaning.
So white-blue get to play in the artifact space by getting some improved Vehicle synergy (though at least the other Pirate colors might dabble in it).
Finding a better differentiation for the Navy color pairs is a big step towards building the sets mechanical identity.
I considered multiple other little boons e. g. creating a token upon ETB, but the untap seems neatest.
