  Maybe it's a portmanteau of illustrious and elusive?

  Illusive is a word, although I think Elusive was the intended word in this case

  Maybe he's Elusive, but he's also sick, thus he's Illusive...

  Heyo Everyone! Sorry I disappeared for a bit. Seeing some great entries, illusory or otherwise.

  @DaHernandez1127 I rarely suggest alterations to cards based on WoTC tradition, but I think Incoming Wave could benefit from including Serpents, Leviathans, & Krakens to play nice with sea creature tribal.

  @Corwinnn Here are the rankings:

  
  

  1st Place: Juno, Waverider Adept by @Void_Retainer
  

  This is a great card, and I think it deserves first place, even if the flavor of the middle ability is a little baffling.

  
  

  2nd Place: Tidal Pools by @pstmdrn
  

  This card is sneakily good in a couple of decks, and sorta synergizes with Moonfolk Landfall without breaking it. Good job.

  
  

  3rd Place: Beachside Fun by @SpellPiper2213
  

  Beachside Fun could stand to cost another mana, but it does fit neatly into current mono-white design. (You get to pick an honorable mention)
  

  
  

  My HM: Deteriorate by @AboveAndAbout
  

  As someone who lives near barrier islands, I love the flavor of this card. However, it's a little bit of a color pie break compared to current design.

  
  

  I'll be taking care of prizes over the next week or so. I'll let Corwinnn handle the circuit points.

  @IanLowenthal Thanks so much for the challenge! Good job everyone!

  @IanLowenthal fun challenge! I enjoyed looking at what everyone submitted. Personally, I'd like to submit @AboveAndAbout's card Iridescent Lagoon (https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/iridescent-lagoon) as an honorable mention. Its mechanic is a fun one, flavorful from the viewpoint of "buried treasure on the beach", and one I'd expect to see on a real card; however, in the right deck it can be a little overpowered.
