Magic: The Gathering - Aetherdrift: Two New Cards Revealed

Cloudspire Coordinator, an uncommon creature, showcases the red-white archetype. Representing the Cloudspire Racing Team from the plane of Kylem (introduced in Battlebond), this card emphasizes vehicle piloting. Its 3 power allows it to crew vehicles, while its activated ability generates Pilot tokens for additional crewing. A strong contender for red-white Aetherdrift draft decks.

Count on Luck, a rare 3-mana enchantment, is a straightforward, all-red card. At the start of each of your turns, you exile the top card of your library and may play it that turn. This "impulse draw" mechanic consistently provides extra cards for mono-red decks, offering immediate utility. Use it wisely!

Finally, we showcase Count on Luck's extended-art and First-Place Foil versions. The extended-art version expands the artwork beyond the typical card frame, while the 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, plus 10 full-art lands, receive this premium treatment.

Aetherdrift launches in physical and digital formats on February 14th, with prereleases beginning February 7th. Further details on the set's mechanics can be found here.
