#aetherdrift

Before previews for Aetherdrift officially begin, I thought it would be fun to do another of my Duelist-style teasers where I give tiny hints of things to come. Note that I’m only giving you partial information. 

First up, here are some things you can expect: 

• 13/13 Vehicle with Crew 2 that costs one mana to cast

• Mechanic called Start your engines!

• Three planeswalker native to one of the worlds visited, and one non-native, gets a desparked legendary creature version

• Cycle of vanilla legendary creatures

• Cat and Dog Mounts

• An old God returns and new Gods are introduced

• New Lotus

• Cycle of multicolored Gearhulks

• Numerous mechanics from the worlds visited get cameos

• New Vehicle artifact token

Next, here are some rules text that will be showing up on cards:  

• “This creature saddles Mounts and crews Vehicles using its toughness rather than its power.”

• “Whenever you draw a card, each opponent mills two cards.”

• “Other Dinosaurs you control get +1/+1.”

• “Whenever a player casts a spell they don’t own,”

• “{T}: Add {R} for each Goblin you control.”

• “During turns other than yours, this Vehicle is an artifact creature.”

• “Whenever you activate an exhaust ability, draw a card.”

• “Put any number of permanent cards from your hand onto the battlefield.”

• “Whenever you attack, if a Pirate and a Vehicle attacked this combat,”

• “Creatures you control have base power and toughness 6/6 and are Oozes in addition to their other types.”
