Its not Champion for the same reason Mistform Ultimus isn't a changeling.

one of the best blue cards i have seen, 3/4 flier for 3
champion a creature, is great, but you do need another crreature, so many applications though
cip effects and whatnot, or just protecting a creature from spells
5/5

@Dragoonmike: That doesn't work anymore, phasing doesn't trigger leaves play effects. Otherwise I'd be ordering a playset of these right now.

I loved using this in my teferi's veil deck. First time it attacks you get your creature back. I usually removed Thalakos Seer to this to draw a card then Id get her back and draw a card everytime she attacks with the veil up.

Strictly better than Serendib Efreet

This card is actually amazing, and it's strictly better than Serendib Efreet. With the same cmc, keyword and p/t, the efreet's drawback will always be negative while the drake's ability will always be positive (if you're playing it right).
Who would ever play this into doom blade? Please stop with the 'dies to removal' crap.

Fun fact: You can 'go infinite' with three of these, triggering "whenever a creature enters the battlefield" abilities as many times as you please. This is something you could do, if you're bored. You could also go look at trees. There are some pretty trees this time of year.
Infinite Reflection makes the going-infinite thing a bit more feasible, if you're nuts enough (or bored enough) to actually try it...
