Mono-blue spellslinger that makes a 2/2 flying Drake for every instant and sorcery, protecting itself with counterspells while the drakes attack.
Read more
Talrand is a 4-mana 2/2 that creates a 2/2 blue Drake with flying whenever you cast an instant or sorcery. Every counterspell, bounce spell and card draw spell adds a flier, so the deck can stay reactive and still build a clock. Lists run lots of cheap interaction, draw spells and a few mana boosts so that turns with three or four spells leave a full air force behind.
In the recorded games, Mana Drain, Delay and Void Snare handled threats while drakes piled up. Isochron Scepter with a cheap counterspell gave the deck a repeatable answer, and High Tide and Aetherspouts made for big tempo turns. Archmage Emeritus and Kindred Discovery added card draw, and Polymorph into Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur refilled a hand once. Gravitational Shift made the drakes much stronger. It usually won by flying over an aggressive opponent. Board wipes like Toxic Deluge cleared the drakes at once, and decks casting many spells in a row, like Jhoira, outpaced its counterspells.
