2/3
I'm so happy that we got this lovely little theme going. Ixalan is probably my favorite plane, next to Mirrodin/New Phyrexia. It's what brought me back to magic singlehandedly. I miss the cycles, the lore. We only ever got a cycle of two hatchlings, one in red, another in green, but no flyer for white. It's a bit of a bummer if I'm honest. Wish we h- lol I got it.
Make a mythic, nonlegendary white dinosaur hatchling for the hatchling cycle. Raptor Hatchling , Cherished Hatchling , and then your creation here~
In uninterested, lets make another Grixis pirate commander for Ixalan, seems only fair since every other tribe has two really strong options and pirates really only received the one from the plane.

Always want to paly a Rakdos deck but never seem to have the cards for it.

DeinoStinkus says... #39
The idea was to begin to fill out the cycle from Shards of Alara, a la Resounding Roar, with wedge-colored cards. I might finish the cycle at some point, idk.

It might be a bit much, but I really wanted to see SOMETHING like this in Rivals of Ixalan. Instead, there were no legendary pirates.
Make a good Pirate. Not just okay like Spectral Sailor, and not something that warps a format like Dockside Extortionist or Ragavan.
