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.

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 – a classic "impulse draw" effect, ideal for mono-red decks.

PlayFinally, we showcase Count on Luck's extended-art and First-Place Foil versions. While extended-art simply expands the card art, First-Place Foils are a new, shiny golden variant, exclusively available in randomized buy-a-box promo packs included with each Aetherdrift box. All rares in the set, along with 10 full-art lands, receive this treatment.

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