Xolatoyac, the Smiling Flood — Tidecaller of Ruin
Xolatoyac, the Smiling Flood reads like a commander's primer in one body. The creature taxes the battlefield by turning lands into Islands when it attacks or enters, creating predictable blue access while rewarding board presence with flood counters. As a six six legend that flips a land into an Island and then untaps your permanents that carry counters at your end step, it fits decks that want repeatable tempo and value from manipulating lands.
Play it where you can protect it and where your lands matter. It lends itself to a control shell that wants extra Islands or to a counter synergy deck that benefits from untapping permanents. The extended art foil shown here gives the salamander serpent a heavy coastal weight that matches its effect. Condition is Near Mint Foil and the card is English from Commander The Lost Caverns of Ixalan.
