Sewn-Eye Drake

Description

Sewn-Eye Drake, identified as card number 135 in the 2009 Magic: The Gathering Alara Reborn set, is a distinct creature card designed for strategic gameplay. As a Zombie Drake with a mana value of four, this card requires a mixed color identity of blue, black, and red to cast. Its type line clearly defines it as a Creature — Zombie Drake, establishing its unique intersection of two creature types within the game's lore and mechanics. The card’s power and toughness are set at 3/1, providing a moderate board presence. Its most significant attributes lie in its abilities: it possesses both flying and haste. Flying allows the creature to evade opponents who lack their own flying creatures or removal spells, while haste enables it to attack or use activated abilities immediately upon entering the battlefield. This combination makes it a versatile asset for players looking to apply pressure quickly or bypass defensive strategies that rely on ground-based blockers. Created by artist Anthony S. Waters, the card carries the set code ARB, serving as a recognizable piece for collectors of the Alara Reborn expansion. The flavor text, attributed to Sedris, the Traitor King, hints at the narrative background of the creature, adding depth to the card's identity within the broader Magic: The Gathering universe. For enthusiasts of the trading card game, Sewn-Eye Drake represents a specific moment in the game's history, offering both mechanical utility and thematic interest. Whether building a specific deck archetype or simply collecting cards from the Alara Reborn set, this card stands as a notable entry in the catalog of Magic: The Gathering releases.
