Cloudspire Coordinator, an uncommon card, showcases the red-white color pairing in Aetherdrift. Representing the Cloudspire Racing Team from the plane of Kylem (introduced in Battlebond), this creature boasts 3 power, allowing it to crew vehicles directly. Its activated ability generates Pilot tokens for additional vehicle crewing. A solid choice for red-white decks in Aetherdrift drafts.

The rare card, Count on Luck, is a 3-mana enchantment with a straightforward, all-red casting cost. 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" effect consistently provides extra cards for mono-red decks, offering a powerful, yet high-risk, high-reward playstyle.

PlayCount on Luck also features extended-art and First-Place Foil versions. While the extended-art version simply expands the artwork beyond the card frame, the First-Place Foils are a new addition to Aetherdrift. These golden cards are exclusive to a randomized buy-a-box promo pack included with each Aetherdrift box, encompassing all rares and 10 full-art lands.

Aetherdrift launches February 14th (physically and digitally), with prereleases starting February 7th. Learn more about the set's mechanics here.
