Alandra, Sky Dreamer, is a legendary merfolk wizard from Shandalar.[1]
Description
Alandra is a girl with a flair for art and mischief. She was invited to join the first official multiplanar class of Strixhaven University on Arcavios.[2] This formal education helps prepare her to eventually take over for her father.[1]
Background
Alandra is a character that debuted in Jumpstart 2022 as part of the blue Think Again deck. No official lore was released about her at the time, so all that is known is based on her card and her similarities with others. She appears as a female blue-skinned merfolk with purple fins on her body and head. She resembles merfolk from Shandalar, and her name, epithet, and drake companions are similar to those of the Shandalar merfolk Talrand. Her Sky Dreamer epithet is illustrated by both her sitting outside of the water looking up into the sky and her creation of drake tokens. Her abilities ramp up based on card draw, with a drake token being created on any second card draw and a temporary power/toughness boost to her and the drakes based on the player’s hand size if five or more cards are drawn.
Trivia
- The name Alandra is often considered a variant of Alexandra, with roots in the Greek name Alexandros, meaning "defender of the people".
