Peregrine Drake

Description

Peregrine Drake, card number 22 from the 2016 Planechase Anthology set, remains a staple in Magic: The Gathering decks that prioritize rapid resource acceleration. This blue creature, illustrated by Bob Eggleton, costs four generic mana and one blue mana to cast, bringing a flying drake with formidable reach to the battlefield. Its primary ability allows players to untap up to five lands upon entering, a mechanic that drastically speeds up mana development and enables explosive plays earlier than standard strategies typically allow. Collectors often seek this uncommon card for its elegant design and its historical role in the Planechase format, which introduced dynamic board-altering elements to the TCG. The Planechase Anthology compilation serves as a valuable reference for enthusiasts studying the evolution of alternate gameplay modes within the Magic universe. Owning a copy of Peregrine Drake from this release connects collectors to a pivotal era of format experimentation. The card's blue color identity and five mana value make it a recognizable piece for anyone building a blue-centric strategy or completing the PCA set code collection. As Magic: The Gathering continues to evolve, cards like this one maintain their relevance for both competitive builders and nostalgic collectors who appreciate the strategic depth of the game.
