Costs one to much mana to be good. The flavor text however is killer.

a drake zombie that cries rainbows... what more can you want?


A flier(pluses from lord of the undead, and death baron)
he could be quite dirty in the right deck

i grabbbed a pair at a draft for my esper style deck, and they are usually game winners in draft, especially since no one seems to take them before like 10th pick

I actually like this card. A pretty efficient evasive beater.

It's won me quite a few draft games. I even run 2 in a standard zombie deck. With all the pluses and bonuses it can get, its well worth the 4 mana.

It's not cards like Progenitus that win games. I mean, yes, if you managed to play it, you'll probably win. But it's cards like this that really deliver the lethal blow early on. Don't underestimate it's power. As long as your opponent doesn't get an annoying Zephyr Sprite out, you'll be dealing tons of damage with him. And I know. :)

pretty interesting card,

i think its a little under-rated for constructed play
vs bloodbraid

drakes a little easier to cast
evasive, i dont think anything can block this in standard very well other than the 3/4 land but thats still a good trade

bloodbraid has
another point of toughness
cascades, which is card advantage. hard to evaluate this

im not saying the drakes better, but vs a lot of the white/blue decks that rely on wrath effects this guy can get 6-9 points of damage in before they decide it needs to be dealt with. both are good vs jace, fair against gideon, drakes very good vs elspeth.

plus the drake can just end games as a topdeck, i think the card is worth exploring in some sideboards.

In limited this was pretty beastly, only so-so in constructed. But like everyone says, the art and flavour text are amazing.

This can hit hard if you keep him in the clear. I'd add Death Baron.

It's not terrible, but still terribly underwhelming compared to the other cards of the horizontal Cycle with those triple colored semi-hybrid costs.

Really love the casting cost on this. If you pay BlueBlack, then the blue mana pays for the flying and the black mana pays for the haste. If you pay BlackRed for it, the black pays for the flying and the red pays for the haste.

One of the best zombie flyers out there.
