Where it came from
Slippery Scoundrel was released in early 2018 as part of the Rivals of Ixalan expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Set within the tropical, Mesoamerican-inspired plane of Ixalan, the card depicts a Merfolk pirate, reflecting the set's central conflict between various factions seeking the lost city of Orazca. Its design reflects the 'ascend' mechanic, a keyword introduced in this block that rewards players for managing the permanent count on the battlefield, effectively representing the race for power in the region.
The artwork was illustrated by Jason Rainville, who captured the fluid, agile nature of the creature to match its mechanical ability to gain hexproof. The card was designed to function as a resilient threat in limited formats, emphasizing the rogue-like nature of the Merfolk pirates inhabiting the coast. Upon its release, it was recognized by players for its utility in strategic gameplay, serving as a reliable utility creature that required specific board states to reach its full potential.
