Provenance

Where it came from

Waking the Dragon was first released in the 2018 set Cybernetic Horizon, though its inclusion in the 2022 Albaz Strike Structure Deck made it more accessible to a wider audience of players. The card was designed as a high-risk, high-reward trap that serves as a powerful deterrent against opponents who favor destruction effects, forcing them to consider the consequences of clearing the back row.

As a common rarity card, it reflects the functional design philosophy found within the Albaz Strike product line, which focuses on providing versatile utility tools for players building around the Fallen of Albaz engine. While the card itself is a utility piece rather than a central archetype component, its design effectively captures the 'dragon' theme of the set by allowing players to cheat massive, high-level threats onto the field as a punitive measure against removal.
