Character Background
Drake Hatcher is a clean blue tempo engine that rewards you for doing what blue decks already want to do: play cheap interaction, keep the board stable, and turn small windows of combat into lasting advantage. A 1/3 for two mana with vigilance means it can attack without leaving you defenseless, and prowess lets it scale naturally with cantrips, counters, and bounce spells. The incubation counter ability is the real payoff: once it connects, every hit accelerates you toward a 2/2 flying Drake, giving you a steady source of evasive pressure. In practice, it fits best in tempo or spells-matter shells, especially alongside cards like Opt, Consider, Counterspell, and bounce spells that both trigger prowess and clear blockers. Prioritize ways to force through damage or protect it, since repeated combat damage is what converts this wizard from a modest attacker into an aerial token factory.
