Provenance

Where it came from

Snapping Drake was released in the Magic 2010 core set, which represented a significant shift in Magic: The Gathering history. This set was the first to introduce a cohesive storyline and planeswalker-focused branding to the core set series, replacing the older Tenth Edition format with a fresh approach intended to lower the barrier for new players while maintaining depth for veterans.

The card was illustrated by Todd Lockwood, a veteran fantasy artist known for his definitive contributions to Dungeons & Dragons sourcebooks. Lockwood crafted the drake with an emphasis on agility and predatory movement, utilizing a dynamic composition that highlights the creature's aquatic, raptor-like nature. The card was designed as a staple blue common, intended to provide reliable evasion and limited-play utility for players exploring the set's new mechanics.
