Description

Illustrated by Xi Zhang, this Rare card captures the essence of the set's adventurous theme through its depiction of a Human Pirate creature.

This dynamic interaction encourages deck builders to consider how this 3-mana-cost creature fits into their overall strategy. Whether you are building a competitive deck or simply appreciating the intricate design of the Rivals of Ixalan expansion, this card represents a solid addition to the Magic: The Gathering universe.
