Wait a minute... what? That thing is the size of a small falcon but it's as powerful as a bear? Come on WotC at least pretend to keep things somewhat consistent.

It's a drake, even small drakes are as dangerous as wolves.
Edit: Also, I like it. I'll easily find a deck to put it in.

It's about time for the reserved list to die, for the sake of Vintage and Legacy (And Commander).
I’m sorry, but like, did blue really need this? It would be a format staple if they’d made it white and called it like “Loyal Squire” or “Loyal Vanguard,” and it feels so wasted on blue which probably barely even plays it compared to other card advantage options. Ugh. I mean it’s cool and stuff but ugh.
So it's a Wind Drake that draws you a card a turn if you have you commander out...
Don't know about you guys, but I'm not excited with this one

What's the most resilient parasite? An idea.
A single idea from the human mind can build cities.
An idea can transform the world and rewrite all the rules...
This is such a workhorse. They've been steadily printing Phyrexian Arenas in blue at uncommon a bunch of years in a row now. This is super good for budget and Derevi and Ludevic appreciate it.
I love a good uncommon, and that's what this is. Doesn't draw too much hate but is subtly strong in the right build. Easy fit in my Edric or Derevi build.

Yeah, was about to say this. It really looks harmless so it will not draw too much heat.
Plus, art is great, even better than most dragon art.

Considering Gilded Drake is the first thing I think of when it comes to Drakes in Commander (Sorry I didn't run into enough Talrands), I was sort of expecting "Control of creatures can't change" from something called Loyal Drake...
Neat card for newer players for sure, but considering even Phyrexian Arena is losing favor with some players due to card choices, a situational one on a more fragile body most likely won't make the cut (and in the color that draws even better).

And it's evasive, so you might even get to tick down some life totals with it

Yeah, this thing is the perfect familiar for Edric, Spymaster of Trest.
However, in most cases, I'll take Rhystic Study, Mind's Eye, or Deathreap Ritual over this.
