See that grin he has? It's because he's better than than Storm Crow. He has a less relevant creature type, but bird isn't an enormously supported tribe.

I'm calling him Happy. Happy the drake.

Looks like the merfolk finally became extinct...

Balanced, strong defender that can pick away life points. Beautiful

Oh. My. God.
It's a drake.
And it's balanced.
H**l, it's even good. A 1/3 flyer for 2.
A DRAKE (one of the most poorly designed and overcosted types to this day) that is better than a STORM CROW.
Never thought I'd see the day.
5/5 just for a good drake.

Now just reprint Force of Will in standard already! That way we can make jokes about how OP Seacoast Drake is in standard :P

Seacoast Drake is the absolute worst card in 2014... AND I'LL TELL YOU WHY!!!

He's the reason we didn't get a Storm Crow reprint after all these years.

Wizards truly fears the return of the Crow... and they print shit like this to try and keep it that way. But eventually, he'll get back in the game. And when he does, all formats will be broken in half. It'll be like the days of Caw-Blade x 9001.

And it will be glorious, just like Storm Crow.

Strictly more drake-y than Storm Crow.

We know what you're doing, Wizards. You can't just erase the legacy of Storm Crow that easily, though ;)

Just put a Quietus Spike on your Storm Crow. Then see who wins the battle.

This card is unusually OP as if storm crow wasn't op enough. I'll tell you why. Doesn't die to shock, chimney imp and storm crow. COMBOS with everything such as islands and ....and you get the point.

Doesn't die to shock, flies, and is a Drake that doesn't suck. 4/5

The cliffs in the background are the Cliffs of Moher from the west coast of Ireland. Look up a photo online, they're identical. You can't fool us, Scott Chou!

@PorkishFartillery

That just blew my mind.

Also, long live Storm Crow!

Should have been Storm Drake as a nice reference. Seacoast? What other kinds of coasts are there?

Almost as good as Storm Crow

I thought Storm Crow was insufferable. Another example of power creeping. Way to go WOTC.

Damn, now I have no use for Storm Crow or Maritime Guard. This is better than both of those.

I like how simple, yet still fun the basic sets have become. I haven't bought any since 9th edition and now I'm considering.

@Boros Greengrocer: Lake coasts, river coasts, pond coasts...

As to the rest of you...You DO remember Screeching Silcaw, yes?

If this gets inflicted with Stab Wound, it bleeds you out. The perfect design of Storm Crow doesn't allow for such nonsense.

Isn't this strictly better than Storm Crow? I don't understand that card.
