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.”
Here are some creature type lines from the set:
