Get ready to start your engines and crew your vehicles as Wizards of the Coast introduces a thrilling new Magic: The Gathering expansion, Aetherdrift, inspired by the high-octane world of professional racing. The expansion features a futuristic aesthetic reminiscent of Tron, with a focus on artifact vehicles and two innovative mechanics: "Speed" and "Exhaust." Aetherdrift also takes players on a multiversal journey, weaving through the existing Magic planes of Avishkar, Amonkhet, and Muraganda during the exhilarating "Death Race."
For those new to the game or seasoned players, I highly recommend visiting your local game shop for booster packs and event exclusives, such as Prerelease Sets. It's the perfect place to ask questions, learn more about the game, and discover new expansions and game modes.
For those looking to buy in bulk, major retailers have you covered. Aetherdrift is set to launch on February 14, and here's everything you can preorder from the MTG Aetherdrift expansion:
