Deck overview

This is a mono-blue Drake tribal value deck helmed by Alandra, Sky Dreamer. The core plan is to draw as many cards as possible each turn, using Alandra's second-draw trigger to generate 2/2 flying Drake tokens and her fifth-draw trigger to pump all Drakes by hand size. A dense suite of no-maximum-hand-size effects (Reliquary Tower, Thought Vessel, Wizard Class, Proft's Eidetic Memory, Reed Richards, Smartest Man) lets the deck hold enormous hands, turning Alandra's pump into 10/10-20/20 flying beaters. The draw engine is exceptionally deep - Rhystic Study, Consecrated Sphinx, Kindred Discovery, Faerie Mastermind, and a dozen more - while Talrand, Sky Summoner and Drake Haven provide redundant token generation. Alternate wins include Triskaidekaphile (13 cards in hand), Twenty-Toed Toad (20 cards in hand), and Psychosis Crawler (drain per draw). The deck wins primarily through combat with pumped flying Drakes.
