What it does

Flying (This creature can't be blocked except by creatures with flying or reach.)

Foul-tempered, poorly trained, and mule-stubborn, the drake is the perfect test of the master's will.

Provenance

Where it came from

The Snapping Drake was featured in the 2010 Duels of the Planeswalkers expansion, a release designed to bridge the gap between the popular digital video game adaptation and the physical tabletop card game. This set allowed players to experience iconic creature archetypes in a simplified, introductory format, making it an essential component for new players transitioning into the broader Magic: The Gathering ecosystem.

Artist Todd Lockwood, a veteran in the fantasy gaming industry, illustrated the card, utilizing his signature style to emphasize the creature's predatory and aquatic nature. His design focuses on the drake’s agility and its sharp, snapping mechanics, which served to clearly communicate the creature's role as a mobile, airborne threat to players encountering the card in a competitive environment.
