Power: 2 | Speed: 4 | Rarity: Common | World Region: The Tidal Channels
Origins: Shell Drake is Water's agile Common – 2/4, hard shell protecting a fast body, operating in the Tidal Channels where the current can be used as an additional speed multiplier. The shell is deceptive: it looks defensive but Shell Drake is fundamentally an offensive card that uses the channel system for approach angles, not protection. The shell is what lets it maintain 4 Speed through currents that would push a softer card sideways.
Finishing Move: Tidal Rush: Rides a tidal current at maximum Speed through the Tidal Channels, arriving on a wave that carries additional force beyond the card's own Power stat.
Synergy & Rivalry: Excellent Speed contribution in Water decks. Lightning's Flash Lynx has been racing it through various channel and trail systems with neither one willing to acknowledge the other's edge in their respective home terrain.
