What it does

Flying

Orim regarded Gerrard coolly. "You are like the drake," she said, her expression unchanging. "It works hard to maintain its position, but to us it seems to glide along effortlessly. You must do the same."

Provenance

Where it came from

Wind Drake was released in 1997 as part of the Tempest expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, Tempest was the first set in the Rath Cycle and introduced mechanics like buyback and shadow. As a common creature, the Wind Drake served as a fundamental utility card in limited gameplay formats, providing a cost-effective flying threat that established the standard for blue-aligned evasion creatures during the late nineties.

The artwork for this iteration was created by Greg Simanson, whose illustration style emphasized the traditional fantasy aesthetic popular during the game's early development. His depiction of the drake was designed to communicate the creature's agility and aerial nature, aligning with the mechanical intent of blue creatures within the color pie. While the card is not a rare collectible, it remains a recognized example of the visual language that defined the Tempest set's distinctive look and feel.
