Perhaps, like Nixilis, he doesn't care who wins the war as long as he can get back home. Which of course he won't be able to unless Bolas is defeated. And remember, Liliana is turning against Bolas, as are the Eternals under her control, so using Eternals =/= siding with Bolas.

Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
I don't think he gives two *****s about Bolas himself just what he can syphon off of Bolas to get what he wants and then be on his merry seafaring way, however that may be.
Good card nonetheless. The menace bit alone is lit

Why the title of Captain again? Hes not in Ixalam where he became a Pirate Captain of ncessity. I'm almsot sure hes not a captain in his home world, wich is where he came from. He hated Ixalam alot, so i bet he wouldn't want anything to do with it again.
Just because he has the Amass mechanic it does not mean that he is "team bolas", he could very well be amassing an army of his own.
If he is controlling eternals to raid things and fight other eternals and walkers then yes, he is kinda a captain.
Also yes he could be taking control of eternals (align with his flavor text about how some eternals would be the perfect crew for hin)
Why Amass instead of act of treason? first act would suck in a set that one of the mechanics is to make huge token creatures (even some of the non walker removal are just sacrifices without targeting a creature) seccond that amass is the BR theme mechanic for limited.
Maybe his ability could read: remove up to two +1/+1 counters from up to one creature then amass 2, but then it could be too good or not fit well in the card.
People need to relax and not be worried that one character is working with the villain just because he has similar themes/mechanics. Wait until the story is revealed don't freak over soo litle lol

I mean, in amonkhet/hour of devastation i played nissa with some eternals, this doens't mean she was working for bolas in the lore. Or how people in the prerelease played Samut with the red Eternals...
Gameplay design usualy doesn't translate into story elements. In my bolas braw deck i had gatewatchers and that doesn't mean those gatewatchers where working for bolas in the real storyline.
Angrath: ANGRATH HAS RETURNED!
"Who?"
Angrath: Angrath. Captain Angrath. Supreme Warlord of all Ixalan?
"Huh?"
Angrath: The Jade-Slayer. The Master of Pain. You may know me as the Beast of Vengeance. Uh...Maker of Widows?
"Eh."
Angrath: Okay, I used to work with Huatli.
