Forest... Sailor?

This is a card for the second set in my Egyptian Block. The first set ends with The Hylo arriving at the block's setting -- the second set twist is that it's all taking place on the same plane as Theros (just on a different continent), and the Hylo is a take on the Argo, and by extension, the Argonauts. Thanks to Kuanen basically boring a hole into the Therosian Underworld as part of his plans, a bunch of returned ended up on said continent -- including Elspeth ( Speth, Pharaoh of Masks ). Ajani hears about this and heads over there, going with the Hylonauts in order to have Theros' greatest heroes with him.

The name is a placeholder though.

I, uh, didn't think much about the name I picked to stand in for "Argo." IIRC I derived it from... "Hylus?" I think? The character who built the ship.

My googling tells me that, given its etymological similarities to astronaut and the meanings of the morphemes that make it up, "hylonaut" would mean something like a person who pilots vessels through a forest. Which is kind of cool, if you think about it.

That is cool. Not what I was aiming for, but very cool.

I'll probably want to change the name of the ship here, but I'll definitely be holding onto "Hylonaut" for future use in that context.
