Storm the Skies with Blue Dragon
The Blue Dragon from Adventures in the Forgotten Realms embodies the raw, tactical might of a seasoned sky predator. At seven mana, this 5/5 flyer commands the battlefield with an imposing presence, but its true strength lies in its signature ability, Lightning Breath. Upon entering the battlefield, it weakens multiple opponents' creatures by sapping their power, allowing you to clear a path for your own forces or properly position yourself for the next attack. This precise reduction in power across up to three different enemy creatures makes it an exceptional tool for controlling the tempo of a game, especially in mid to late stages where board control is paramount.
Blue Dragon pairs naturally with cards that capitalize on weaker opposing creatures, making it a strategic pick in decks that leverage removal or combat tricks. Given the creature’s flying keyword, it synergizes well with any form of evasion or cards that benefit from aerial dominance. Its effect not only disrupts attackers but can also protect you from dangerous blockers by minimizing their threat. For those looking to bring a taste of draconic power and cunning into their Adventures in the Forgotten Realms deck, this card is a solid, versatile choice.
