But it’s not just the story that’s getting everyone hyped—it’s the incredible chase cards that collectors and players are already buzzing about.
Let’s dive into the highlights of Aetherdrift and why this set is a collector’s dream.
The Aetherspark: A Collector’s Grail
At the center of the Aetherdrift universe is The Aetherspark, a legendary artifact steeped in lore and coveted by racers and inventors alike. For collectors, this card is pure gold—or rather, double rainbow foil. Limited to just 500 serialized, borderless copies, these treasures will only be found in Collector Boosters. If you’re lucky enough to pull one, you’re holding a piece of Magic history.
Whether it’s the stunning artwork, the ultra-limited print run, or the sheer thrill of the chase, The Aetherspark is already shaping up to be the crown jewel of Aetherdrift.
First-Place Foils: Exclusive Box Toppers
What’s better than opening a booster box? Finding Box Toppers inside that make you feel like a champion. Each Aetherdrift Play Booster Box and Collector Booster Box includes a pack containing two first-place foil cards:
- One of ten breathtaking full-art basic lands
- One of 127 rare or mythic rare cards
These exclusive foils, with their gorgeous finishes and rarity, will have collectors scrambling to snag booster boxes early. It’s like taking the winner’s podium every time you open one.
Japan Showcase Cards: Art That Stuns
Fans of Japanese Magic art, rejoice! Aetherdrift reintroduces the beloved Japan Showcase series, featuring ten iconic cards reimagined by world-renowned Japanese artists. These aren’t just cards—they’re works of art.
With their special frames and vibrant aesthetics, these showcase cards will be the centerpiece of many collections. And for those who want something truly dazzling, fracture foil versions of these cards can be found exclusively in Collector Boosters.
Special Guests: Racing in Style
In a thrilling collaboration with the Secret Lair team, Aetherdrift introduces ten “Special Guests” cards that bring a fresh, playful twist to the set’s racing theme. These cards are as unique as they are collectible, and they’re available in both regular and first-place foil versions.
While the regular editions can be found in most boosters, the first-place foil versions are a Box Topper exclusive, making them a highly sought-after prize for collectors.
Why Aetherdrift Will Be a Collector’s Paradise
From its serialized treasures to its jaw-dropping showcase cards, Aetherdrift isn’t just a Magic set—it’s an event. The combination of stunning artwork, exclusive foils, and unique mechanics has created a perfect storm of excitement.
