[quote]Skyshooter isn't too great of a card of it's own but does amazingly well in a deck designed to run with it. Take my Damage Ramp deck with Captain Combustible for example.[/quote]

I don't question this, but I do think you have better options. I don't doubt the effectiveness of your current build, but I think it is far from optimal. You will get by just fine though, since the opposition in ranked games is not much TBH.

I think basing a deck on Pod Father (I have to say I love that card for flavor though, more than power!) is a shaky proposition because it is so timing dependent. He is a good 3-drop in a pea-heavy build obviously, but he is pretty lack-luster to top deck on turn 5+ If you DO go with a pea heavy build though (I don't have Captain Combustible so I don't know if that is the best choice for him), I don't see why you would ever want a 3rd Sweet Potato over the 4th Torchwood. Also, even if you like the Skyshooter, you can only put one of them on a height so running 3 seems like an absolute maximum, though at 4 mana I'd rather run 2. Without Pod Father though, it is still just a 5/4 for 4 if you do get it to work out (as in, you weren't forced to play something else on the height lane before etc) and that's not broken enough for me to run in a tournament deck.
