Sea Legs

Description

Released in 2018 as part of the Rivals of Ixalan expansion, Sea Legs is a one-mana blue Enchantment — Aura that provides flexible combat utility. Printed as a Common in the RIX set, this foil finish adds visual appeal for collectors who appreciate the shimmering treatment on lower-rarity cards. The card is identified by number 50 and features artwork by Alexander Deruchenko, capturing the maritime theme central to the set's identity. Mechanically, Sea Legs offers a distinct strategic choice for players building their decks. By casting this enchantment, players can attach it to a creature, granting it +0/+2 if the creature is a Pirate. However, if the enchanted creature is not a Pirate, it suffers a -2/-0 penalty. This conditional effect allows for versatile gameplay, enabling commanders to pivot their strategy based on the board state or the specific creature types they are supporting. The Flash ability further enhances its utility, allowing players to cast it in response to threats or to surprise opponents during their turn. For collectors, the Sea Legs foil represents an accessible entry point into the Rivals of Ixalan catalog. Its straightforward design and iconic blue border make it a recognizable piece for those tracking the evolution of Magic: The Gathering card art and mechanics. Completing a set of Rivals of Ixalan often includes this card, making it a standard yet valuable component for serious enthusiasts looking to round out their collection.
