2/5. This drake isn't ultimately bad. A (in combat) 3/4 flier for 4 in green is pretty handy. I'd rather use some other method of dealing with flying enemies...like Hurricane. Plus having this guy out makes it so you now have something that'll die to your anti-flying cards. Still better than some other drakes in this set...ironically better than the blue uncommon drake that seems to be a part of this 4 drop drake cycle.

Um... just so everyone understands the drake doesn't get the +1/+1, the other creature does. So he is effectively a 1/2 in combat. I just can't see a use for this card. 1/5 stars.

Give it flanking to counteract its penalty!

This is just really depressing. A 4 mana 2/3 flyer should NEVER get a drawback, even in green.

The enemy gets a +1/+1 after having dealt with this creature because they are now absolutely determined to put this shrieking, flailing retard-dragon out of it's spastic misery.

Actually, I don't think it's all that bad. Green, especially in recent sets, has gotten plenty of flier-directed removal, which could mean that this drake would be pretty much unopposed on the attack. Of course, that doesn't solve the fact that it's still a horrible blocker, but hey, one can't have everything in life, eh?

Horrible, just horrible. This is by far one of the worst fliers to exist! 1/5
