A weak/expensive card that will strike terror in limited formats. 2/5! That's almost unbreakable without bombs or black removal. And then, you're using your removal on a 2/5 common. It's just demoralizing. Is blue on the weaker side in Zendikar limited?

It seems Wizards has repeated its mistake with Snapping Drake of putting amazing art on a terrible card...

When they finally make an awesome, rare drake card, it will have awful artwork.

Strictly worse Belltower Sphinx, but pretty awesome in limited. I've beaten down with a Sky Ruin Drake with a Trusty Machete many a time

Meh. Kinda one sided. I would rather pay the same cost to get a Blue flyer with an equal P/T

True, wizard has been pulling drakes out of thier * since technically they are the dumb down version of their dragon cousins. The artwork is masterfully down but th ecard itself is nothing more then a 5 drop 2/5 blocker with wings, and a pretty picture.

You'd think something called "Sky Ruin Drake would be a little more ruinous than P2... But it flies and has decent T, so it's not a complete waste; just a regular waste.
Is what he SHOULD have done to match his amazing card art D:"
not really....seeing as how Snapping Drake is 4 mana for a 3/2 flying, a 3 mana 3/4 with flying, great artwork, and a landfall ability to make it stronger would be waaaaay too abusive

So... I guess Air Elemental is now considered overpowered, so we get this? Really?
Certainly not a Constructed card, but in limited, a 5-pip butt is pretty big. There's not a lot that can zap out a 5-toughness flyer. Which still doesn't make him great, but having difficult-to-remove creatures in limited is rarely a bad thing.

Drakes will never amount to the awesome of full-on dragons... Especially blue ones.

A 2/5 for 5 gets a 2/5 from me.

Unfortunately for this guy, creatures meant to block tend to not be as good creatures meant to attack, for the same reason Lightning Bolt is better than Healing Salve

Strictly better than Armored Cancrix unless there's fly hate, or you're running Crab tribal.

This art is pretty decent. But the argument, "Putting amazing art on a terrible card" is flawed. Every card should have amazing art, I am only paying how much for a booster again?
