Magic: The Gathering - Aetherdrift: Two New Cards Revealed

Cloudspire Coordinator: This uncommon red-white creature represents the Cloudspire Racing Team from the plane of Kylem (introduced in Battlebond). Its 3 power allows it to crew vehicles, and its activated ability creates Pilot tokens for additional vehicle crewing. A strong choice for red-white Aetherdrift draft decks.

Count on Luck: This rare, 3-mana red enchantment provides "impulse draw." At the start of each of your turns, you exile the top card of your library and may play it that turn. A powerful addition to mono-red decks.

Also revealed are extended-art and First-Place Foil versions of Count on Luck. First-Place Foils, shiny golden cards, are exclusive to a randomized buy-a-box promo pack included with each Aetherdrift box. All rares in the set (and 10 full-art lands) receive this treatment.

Aetherdrift launches in paper and online on February 14th, with prereleases starting February 7th. More details on the set's mechanics can be found here.
