magniloquent: speaking in a grand or pompous style
xebec: small three-masted pirate ship

... well, that's a fine conundrum. A pompously oratorial pirate shp. Though I shall have to point out that, technically, it is merely a particular kind of ship, used for fast trading. Not solely for raiding.

Well, one has just the ship in mind. And the stats bring themselves into being. But how does one represent grandiose prose in a mechanical text? Trinket text? Or.. grand sweeping gestures?

Sure; the latter. Something like hellbent, only... moreso.

Very interesting idea in terms of color pie identity and design space. It works kinda wonky if it has 3 or more damage marked on it and one of your permanents get untapped at that point.

on wording:

> ~ has indestructible as long as all your permanents are tapped.

Yeah; the wonkiness is an edge case. I like the red colour identity for "While everything is tapped" but couldn't think of a good red ability to pair it with. The main reasonj this is red is because; well; it's a pink airship, dedicated to pompous declarations of eternal love. It can't not be red :)
