Amazing art wasted on a weak creature, how unfortunate.

Snapping Drake. The peak of blue power level now. Yep, seems fair to me.

How is this rated so low? This is really good in Limited.

Boring. That, and the flavor text doesn't capture blue very well; A blue drake would be totally cowed by a mage, and wouldn't be stubborn, poorly-trained, and foul tempered. Blue is about dominating wills and taking control, and a creature that is still untamed and blue is an oxymoron and a very poor representation of the color.

Well The Art Is Amazing And I Played Overrun Twice With Three Of These Guys In Play. Blue/Green Is Great.

I hope you catch the Irony in what you're saying. Blue is a domeneering and controlling color thus making it able to utilize drakes.

It's time to update the air force, Wizards. This and Air Elemental are going the way of the dinosaur.

There were a bunch of creature buffs (at least regarding green and white in particular), therefore i'd have liked to see Snapping Drake getting replaced for a new version of oldschool Phantom Monster.

best art on a creature i've ever seen :D
it's torture for me to have four of them and not be able to put any in my deck though... ):

Was Phantom Monster considered too powerful? %-(

Shows up in Magic 2011... it's the creature being torched in the art of Chandra's Outrage.

Great art... on a really crappy creature. I saw this on MTG on the xbox and I was like "That looks so bad ass! Its probably gonna be some new epic creature!" But no... it's a drake.

Strictly worse than Phantom Monster. I don't even bother putting him in my deck anymore; it's just a waste of a card draw.

Sure, this is a common. Lots of cards completely outclass Snapping Drake, but no, it's not as bad as some stuff.

Epic art for an average card.

Sure I'll put this on the field... on the backs of my sleeves. >:3

This art is the best of all the Snapping Drake art. My favorite blue creature next to Horned Turtle.
