This art really evokes a sweeping sense of movement beautifully.

Flample is always good. This flying turquoise people eater looks to be a good Limited pick, if only to evolve your low-toughness creatures.

I could stare at this art all day.

And I'd still have no idea what I'm looking at.

A tear shed for Simic beauty.

Evasion plus Green's interpretation of invasion = quality common that I call will see some constructed play.

Aren't drakes already lizards?

Will be overshadowed by other evolve creatures for standard play, since the 3cmc slot is very heavy for Gatecrash... The trample is nice but evolve is nicer. Will still be a great pull for drafts and the prerelease, when you don't get perfect sets of cards.

If this card had evolve, i'd give it something higher but 3.5/5 is what it gets for being a good drake but a mediocre simic card.

a decent 3/1 flyer with trample is still a good UNICORN

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure a lizard drake is just a less intelligent dragon.

As soon as I saw this I knew the word 'Flample' would return. God I love Simic.

Cool card, but alas, the lack of Evolve kills it. Or, more accurately, anything with a power of 1 kills it. Had it been 1 more but had Trample, I'd be all over it, but it's too vulnerable for me.

I see no reason why this guy couldn't have had evolve. Still, nice card I guess.

Very very decent flyer. Quality common.

As the first lizard to achieve flying as a static ability (the other lizard with flying capabilities is Leaping Lizard although only temporarily )...

I shall dub thee Superlizard.

A Lizard Drake is a Dragon. :P Seriously people, you are all jacked up on Simic Hype, but this creature is not actually one of the wierd ones -_-

It has flying and trample. Very obviously it must be a Dragon. When you can't recognize a Dragon just because you don't see it breathing tons of Fire, you know you have been playing too much MAGIC as your exclusive source of Fantasy 'tropes'. :/

DORAGUN IT DOES ALREADY HAVE TRAMPLE! OMFG! >.<

Interesting card trivia for you:

A drake is a weaker form of a dragon without the more powerful inherent magical abilities and usually with a set of wings and a set of legs. Dragons generally have a set of forelimbs a set of hindlimbs and a set of wings as well as high intelligence and magical powers. So drake wing leases is a combination of a lizard (possibly for docility) and a drake (maybe for a large body). And before someone mentions, skyrim dragons are strange, they don't have arms...

Dies to EVERYTHING. Such a ripe target. Still, a nice little draft pick for simic.

@DarthParallax

in fact, it's not actually a dragon. it's a lizard drake.

@Black_Sun28
I've actually seen that a lot. It's not as weird as you think, if the creator is trying to make them seem evolutionarily realistic - imagine if birds had arms... it winds up being a halfway point between birds and lizards, really. With magical fire farts. And breathing too, I suppose.

Flying in green? Trample in blue (and not a leviathan)? What is this wizardry?

All joking aside, if you're in this guy's colors, draft him. Under no circumstances is he the wrong pick, aside from a bomb rare. He levels up your early evolvers, he's a 3-power flyer for 3, and even if he gets blocked he can still get through for a little. Hell, once I drafted seven of these guys in a GTC-GTC-GTC draft. Ended up going 3-0 too.

3 double evasion for 3 is good. Makes it a reliable beater unless they spend a card (most of the time), unfortunately trygon is so efficient this guy won't see much play unless you're *really* aggro in g/u; but then why not nulltread?

I love this card, its got a reasonable mana cost and great stats. And in a Simic deck, all you need is perhaps a " Give " spell and then ramp up the counters with Vorel. I couldn't say how many times I've won matches with a 21/19 flying trample ( or higher sometimes )

WHY don't you have evolve? Such a beautiful art and cool card but it's so removable with just 1T, an Electrickery can remove him so easily without even needing to target him...
I think Forced Adaptation was made to be put on him so he evolves every turn and in time this awesome card will become a huge Flampler.
