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."

Where it came from
The Wind Drake was released in 1997 as part of the Tempest expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Created by Wizards of the Coast, this set was designed to introduce mechanics like 'buyback' and 'shadow' while refining the game’s strategic depth following the high-power levels of the preceding Mirage block. The card serves as a quintessential example of the 'flying' archetype, providing a standard mid-game aerial threat that fit the set's thematic focus on the tempestuous, weather-beaten world of Rath.
The artwork was provided by the illustrator Daren Bader, whose contribution captures the classic high-fantasy aesthetic prevalent in the mid-nineties. Bader’s design emphasizes the creature's lean, draconic physiology against a sweeping, atmospheric backdrop, a stylistic choice intended to emphasize the creature's affinity for the skies. Upon release, the card was received as a functional, utilitarian component of blue-aligned decks, valued by players for its reliable evasion in limited play formats.
