The first goblin tried to swim the canal. The second built a raft. The last and craftiest goblin launched herself from a firecannon and soared over the canal, trailing smoke. All were eaten, but only one was cooked.

Where it came from
Canal Monitor was released in early 2018 as part of the Rivals of Ixalan expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The card was designed to support the 'Explore' mechanic, a thematic centerpiece of the Ixalan block that emphasized the set's exploration and adventure motifs. As a common-rarity creature representing the reptilian inhabitants of the plane, it served as a functional piece of the set's Limited environment, designed by the Wizards of the Coast design team to fill a specific utility role for green-aligned decks.
The card’s illustration was created by artist Igor Kieryluk, who contributed extensively to the visual identity of the Ixalan block. Kieryluk’s design captures the monitor in a swampy, tropical environment, using a color palette and atmospheric lighting that align with the set's central aesthetic of a hidden, Mesoamerican-inspired jungle world. The piece was well-received for its consistent visual world-building, effectively communicating the danger and ecological diversity of the Ixalan setting.
