Description

Eyekite is a blue Drake creature card from the Magic: The Gathering Jumpstart 2022 expansion, released in 2022. Carrying card number 293 in the set, this common rarity card features an illustration by Dan Murayama Scott. The card requires a mana cost of {1}{U} to cast and possesses a mana value of two. As a low-cost creature, it offers strategic flexibility for players building decks within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game ecosystem. The card’s primary ability includes Flying, allowing it to evade most ground-based blockers. Additionally, Eyekite gains a significant power boost, receiving +2/+0, as long as you have drawn two or more cards during the current turn. This design encourages card advantage strategies, rewarding players who actively cycle through their decks or utilize draw spells to maximize the creature's combat potential. The flavor text, attributed to Cyla, Lord of the Aerie, adds narrative depth by noting the Drake's reliance on external direction due to its brain size. Collectors interested in the Jumpstart 2022 set often seek out individual cards to complete their collections or to utilize in specific deck archetypes. Eyekite’s straightforward mechanics and iconic Drake subtype make it a recognizable piece of the 2022 Magic: The Gathering landscape. Whether used for casual play or competitive drafting, the card’s interaction with card draw provides a distinct tactical option.
