Drake is a creature type used for flying reptiles in Magic the Gathering, similar to dragons but smaller and less powerful. Their minds are also more similar to that of an animal than that of true dragons, and they are more often aligned with blue than any other color, although drakes of all other colors do exist. It is often thought that drakes were descendants of the losers of the Elder Dragon Wars, like the wurms, but this is not true, for their ancestry can also be traced to the surviving Elder Dragons.
By and large, the difference between drakes and dragons is that dragons have wings in addition to their limbs, while drakes have one set of their limbs replaced by their wings, like birds or bats, though exceptions (such as Wind Drake and Dromar, the Banisher) exist.
Drakes have been seen on Dominaria (especially on Tolaria, the Burning Isles and Jamuraa), Rath, Mirrodin, Ravnica, Alara, and Zendikar.
Mechanically, Drakes are a predominately Blue-aligned tribe, though there is a smattering in all other colors save White. They always have flying, and often have greater toughness than power.
