Rev Your Engines: Magic: The Gathering - Aetherdrift Preview

The multiverse is gearing up for the race of a lifetime with Magic: The Gathering's Aetherdrift, set to release on February 14, 2025. This high-octane expansion combines thrilling mechanics, vibrant factions, and an epic storyline that promises to leave players and collectors alike on the edge of their seats. Here's everything you need to know about this adrenaline-pumping set.

 

What is Aetherdrift?

Aetherdrift takes players on a high-speed journey across three planes as part of an epic multiversal death race. With ten unique factions, each representing a color pair, players will encounter a world brimming with artifacts, vehicles, and explosive action. The race's prize? The coveted Aetherspark, which has ties to a deeply personal mission for the planeswalker Chandra as she seeks to restore Nissa's powers.

 

Key Mechanics and Themes

Aetherdrift introduces new and returning mechanics that emphasize fast-paced gameplay and artifact synergy:

  • Turbocharge: A new mechanic that provides bonuses to vehicles when they're "boosted" by other permanents.
  • Artifact Synergies: Many cards interact with artifacts in novel ways, giving new life to older artifact-heavy strategies.
  • Faction-Specific Abilities: Each of the ten factions has unique traits that enhance gameplay variety.
