{"product_id":"gilded-drake","title":"Gilded Drake (Repaint)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA repaint of Magic by artist Bob Eggleton of his most famous Magic painting, \u003cem\u003eGilded Drake\u003c\/em\u003e shimmers amongst the top “dragon” paintings in the game. A subject matter with origins dating back to 1993’s \u003cem\u003eShivan Dragon\u003c\/em\u003e from the alpha set, dragon paintings have their own massive fan-base and are justifiably highly sought after by collectors. \u003cem\u003eGilded Drake\u003c\/em\u003e is a two-mana blue creature from \u003cem\u003eUrza’s Saga\u003c\/em\u003e that swaps itself for an opponent’s creature when it enters the battlefield. This way you can steal their best creature and give them your 3\/3 flyer in return. The exchange is mandatory, but since you usually take something far more valuable, it can be a good tempo play and an effective solution at the same time. Because you “own” the \u003cem\u003eDrake\u003c\/em\u003e even when it’s not under your control, decks using blink or bounce (e.g. via \u003cem\u003eFlickerwisp\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003ePhelia, Exuberant Shepherd\u003c\/em\u003e) can steal, blink out, steal again, etc. That opens up interesting interactions in certain control \/ tempo builds. \u003cem\u003eGilded Drake\u003c\/em\u003e sees some niche play in Legacy (mostly in \u003cem\u003eEsper Vial\u003c\/em\u003e \/ \u003cem\u003eCephalid Breakfast\u003c\/em\u003e decks) but especially in some Commander\/cEDH decks. There it’s known as a low-cost way to steal game-winning threats or even opposing commanders. In Commander, many players find ways to blink or bounce \u003cem\u003eGilded Drake\u003c\/em\u003e to reuse the effect multiple times, which makes it even more powerful. \u003cem\u003eGilded Drake\u003c\/em\u003e is on the Reserved List.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"artwhirled","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44762042302509,"sku":null,"price":0.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/8000\/6957\/files\/Gilded_Drake_Repaint_front_a_white.jpg?v=1775127796","url":"https:\/\/artwhirled.com\/products\/gilded-drake","provider":"Art Whirled","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
