Magic: The Gathering - 2 New Cards from Aetherdrift

First up is the Cloudspire Coordinator, an uncommon creature card that encapsulates the essence of the red-white color pairing in Aetherdrift. This card represents the Cloudspire Racing Team from the plane of Kylem, first introduced in the 2018 set, Battlebond. With a power of 3, it's perfect for crewing vehicles, and its activated ability allows you to create Pilot token creatures to take the wheel. If you're drafting a red-white deck during Aetherdrift, this card could be a solid addition to your strategy.

Next, we have the rare enchantment, Count on Luck. This 3-mana card with an all-red-pip casting cost introduces an exciting "impulse draw" mechanic. At the start of each of your turns, you exile the top card of your library and can play it during that turn. It's a straightforward yet powerful tool for mono-red decks, offering you extra cards to use as long as you can play them immediately. It's a "use it or lose it" scenario that can really shake up your gameplay.

We also have a special treat for you: a look at Count on Luck in its extended-art and First-Place Foil versions. While the extended art simply expands the art box for a wider view, the First-Place Foils are a brand-new feature for Aetherdrift. These dazzling golden cards are exclusive to a randomized buy-a-box promo pack included with every Aetherdrift box. All the rares in the set, along with 10 full-art lands, will receive this stunning treatment.

Mark your calendars! Aetherdrift will hit the streets, both in paper and online, on February 14, with prereleases starting on February 7. To learn more about the set's mechanics, click here.
