Ultra Pro's Rivals of Ixalan product listings have reached stores, and they reveal new artworks from the upcoming set. Check out the artworks:

My LGS just got this in, there's a three headed dinosaur!

The playmats feature an image of Admiral Beckett Brass leading a charge. Another playmat reveals a three-headed dinosaur (probably Naya colors). There are also playmats with migrating dinosaurs. Among the card binders, we see Kumena and Huatli with the same three-headed dinosaur behind her. We also get to see an artwork of what seems to be a new Merfolk lord. Head designer Mark Rosewater recently confirmed that Rivals of Ixalan will introduce a new Merfolk lord, so that's probably our first look at him.

When Polygon previewed the Rivals of Ixalan Planeswalker decks and had an interview with members of the creative team. Here's what they said about the dinosaurs:

We also introduced six legendary Elder Dinosaurs who evolved separately from the colorful-feathered dinosaurs of the plane.

This is probably the progenitor of the Ixalan dinosaurs, and its power is probably the source of the Threefold Sun worship.
