Magic: The Gathering - Aetherdrift: Two New Cards Revealed

Cloudspire Coordinator, an uncommon card, showcases the red-white pairing in Aetherdrift. Representing the Cloudspire Racing Team from the plane of Kylem (introduced in Battlebond), this creature focuses on vehicle piloting. Its 3 power lets it crew vehicles, while its activated ability creates Pilot tokens for additional crew. A strong choice for red-white Aetherdrift draft decks.

The rare card, Count on Luck, is a 3-mana enchantment with a straightforward, yet powerful effect. At the start of each of your turns, you exile the top card of your library and can play it immediately. This "impulse draw" mechanic provides consistent card advantage for mono-red decks, offering immediate use or discarding the card.

Finally, we showcase Count on Luck's extended-art and First-Place Foil versions. While extended-art simply expands the artwork, First-Place Foils are a new Aetherdrift addition. These golden cards are exclusive to randomized buy-a-box promo packs included with each Aetherdrift box, encompassing all set rares and 10 full-art lands.

Aetherdrift launches in paper and online on February 14th, with prereleases starting February 7th. Learn more about the set's mechanics here.
