Lore Drakkis

Description

Lore Drakkis is a distinct card from the 2020 Magic: The Gathering Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths expansion, carrying the catalog number 301. As an Uncommon rarity card, this release offers collectors a tangible piece of the set's design and mechanical identity. The card features the artist Andrew Huerta, whose work defines the visual presentation of this entry in the Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths series. For players and collectors alike, this card represents a key component of the mutate mechanic introduced in this era of the trading card game. In terms of gameplay identity, Lore Drakkis is classified as a Creature — Lizard Beast with a mana cost of {1}{U}{R} and a mana value of 3. Its color identity spans both Red and Blue, allowing for versatile integration within certain deck architectures. The card’s power and toughness are listed as 2/3, providing a solid baseline for its cost. The primary mechanical hook is the mutate ability, which allows players to cast the spell for an alternate cost to place it atop or beneath a target non-Human creature they control. This interaction merges the creatures, combining the top card’s stats with the abilities of those underneath. A notable feature of this card is its triggered ability: whenever this creature mutates, players can return a target instant or sorcery card from their graveyard to their hand. This effect provides card advantage and resource recursion, making it a functional piece for strategic play. Collectors seeking to complete the Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths set will find this card an essential addition to their collection. Its presence in the Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths core set ensures its relevance to fans of the 2020 printing cycle.
