I kinda want one just because it is chupacabra. Creatures that are so dependant on the mechanics of one block exclusively aren't usually good, but it's FUNNY!

Project Booster Fun makes it less fun to open a booster.
Wait. Is this the first non-sentient mammal shown on ixalan? That also confirms that there are goats on the plane? Weird
Chupacabra is the name of the mythological creature. I don't think it requires goats to be on the plane.
That said, a little bit sad about being just a random uncommon. Hope that this won't be the only chupacabra card, and they make a legendary chupacabra (either in this or the next set). Boy that would be awesome.
EDIT: +10 points flavor text. I see they probably fired the person who wrote the flavor texts for Amonkhet.

Would you like to read Commander stories? Check my latest stories, coming from Lorwyn and Innistrad: Ghoulcaller Gisa and Doran, The Siege Tower! If you like my writing, ask me to write something for your commander as well!
All we need now in an enchantment which reads "whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control, it explores".
Personally, I'd prefer it be an attack trigger rather than an ETB to help screw with combat math, a little harder to interact with, etc. But... a mass explore card is a definite need.

I have to disagree with this, I count it as proof not only that Ixalanians have goats, but also that some of them speak Spanish (the people, not the goats).
Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!

Mammals coexisted with dinosaurs, it's not all that incredible that modern mammals could exist in Ixalan as humans do, they just won't waste time making cards for them because we already have a bunch of cats, hounds, etc.
And judging by the naming conventions they use, the ones that speak spanish are the vampires, as it should be.

Read my other stories as well (some ongoing):
Reaper King (a horror story), Kaalia of the Vast (an origin story), Sequels for Innistrad (Alternative sequels for Inn), Grey Areas (Odric's fanfic), Royal Succession (goblins),The Tracker's Message (eldrazi on Innistrad) and Ugin and his Eye (the end of OGW).
It's beginning to look that way. Refreshing to say "good" reptiles and "bad" mammals.

Real talk it's bad, but we'll have to see if there's enough Explore for it to at least be a good build-around for limited.
