Aetherdrift Previews Day 8 | Mtg

[@shiXlongXlang]

Helping hand ball lightning just to have it come in tapped and sac itself at end of turm 😂

[@matthewmarshall5234]

No no no he meant Helping hand the Ball Lightning back then cast and fling it with Voldaren Thrillseeker backup ability, dur 😂

[@LucasCastro-oc8tt]

Was going to say that 😂

[@HaleG9]

I am with you, Dev. Aetherdrift is a nice set, definitely from a players pov.

[@bradb8260]

"unsummon with buttercream icing" is so good hahaha

[@OronisTheWanderer]

Webstrike Elite is great, in a very simple, utility way. Not only draw a card for the enchantment/artifact kill, but as cycling, it's NOT A SPELL, so it can't be countered by most counterspells. That's so good, on top of a great rate body. Damn nice little card.

[@wesleyhowell8190]

Come for the standard previews, stay for the standard previews but also the stranger things take. Based, I feel so validated.

[@nichkendall3101]

I like your preview videos much better because you go every card thanks for your service sbmtg🙏

[@Seething_Ginger]

I am glad you love this set, Dev. I do think I'd like this set much more if it came out in 2014 as a splash of different flavor and different times. It coming out now spoils a lot of the joy it could have had from me, between my frustrations at UB, my eye-rolling at the inundation of puns and on-the-nose tropes, and other frustrations I have with the set itself its bouncing off pretty hard. Spikeshell Harrier is an amazing card and reference, its just sideyes enough to be worth it, that card is gold, but everything else has me out. I hope its glorious for you!

[@hilldn87]

Love you and all of your content. It's time to vacuum the couch.

[@dustinstrait9352]

Darksteel colossus can’t be reanimated if it goes to your graveyard from anywhere it gets shuffled back into your deck

[@ender4101]

Inb4 the "this set is not for me" comments somehow showing up at ep 8 of spoiler season.

[@hp5310]

Do you ever feel the breeze blow over your head?

[@suntzu6122]

Its a standard set lols. Standard is mediocre. Stuck

[@TheMikeMassengale]

It isn't for me, but that actually is fine with me, it's nice to have a set now and then that doesn't require me to rebuild my whole deck. There's some fun stuff though, and I am not at all invested enough to care all that much.

[@ender4101]

@@TheMikeMassengale That's fair. Of course, it's okay to not like it. I personally like the set, but the "wacky races/joke set/un-set/fortnite/mario kart/loot sucks/etc" comments are EVERYWHERE and it's really frustrating and repetitive. Dev is one of the few people who will actually evaluate cards and give them a chance instead of saying "I don't like this, it's cringe and bad" every 5 minutes, and even his comment section is not safe.

[@random135246]

I’m surprised by how much I like this set. It’s still a hat set, but it doesn’t feel as egregious as thunder junction or karlov manor

[@alexhilden4815]

Regarding Point the Way and the other speed cards, I suspect the Outlaws crime lands are gonna be helpful

[@samuelgames8970]

thats actually an insanely good point, those crime lands are gonna be an absolutely awesome include with speed

[@guybrushthreepwood8174]

Crash and Burn - usually in limited we get a "deal 5 dmg + some upside" for 5 mana, and it can be sorcery speed. So this one seems really good relative to the more recent versions of this i've seen.

[@matthewsantoro919]

I'm known to play ball lightning alongside recommission and return triumphant from time to time

[@EBurstyn]

Thrillroller also seems solid in the self discard deck that’s shaping up. Something you can discard for future value or an enabler

[@mitchelllurth1505]

The mouth on Wretched Doll is absolutely frightening!!! Pretty sick!

[@dankrocka64]

People don't like vehicles. Wrath protection isn't all that great when all the creatures are dead. Aside from that, set feels vintage in more than one way, and I like that.

[@dfw_sleepypillz1007]

Dev. Normally I agree with you on all things. However - Stranger Things was a great show. Love the previews! Rock on.

[@00naruhina]

Love this set, it's so fun and wild and brings a positive pulse pounding attitude to the world that hasn't been seen since...for me at least Neon Dynasty The characters in the set are having a blast. Having fun. Remember that? Fun? In this children's card game we all love? Lol. Keep up the amazing work Mr.Dev

[@HubsiCube]

Tell me you're 16 and play fortnite without telling me, you're 16 and play fortnite

[@Goldy01]

@@HubsiCube tell me you're 40 and cranky without telling me that you're 40 and cranky 🤣

[@jasonb3908]

Gastal Thrillroller I'm gonna try out in Gruul Delirium. I think it feels good in that sort of shell with it being an artifact to help trigger Delirium, and the recursion is nice. If you don't have Delirium yet then Beastie can pilot it. I think it's my favorite card so far.

[@andrewgolubiewski3463]

Literally forgot dark steel Colossus was even standard legal. Haven't seen anyone playing it in the reanimator decks, even as a one of, which is nuts to me. Sure there's exile removal right now, but there's also still a lot of destroy removal.

[@killtrend]

I love this set so far. Fight me, chat.

[@oatsen1618]

You can crew salvation engine with 2 thopters because of the passive. Thats not too bad.

[@tomserdar412]

Thanks Dev!

[@metal--babble346]

looks like a healthy scoop of draft chaff

[@serendiggiity6506]

darksteel colossus cant be reanimated?

[@weirdo82]

Darksteel Colossus's ability isn't a triggered ability, but a replacement effect, and thus never technically hits the graveyard, so even instant speed graveyard recursion doesn't help.

[@TylerGist-i8q]

Time to make the Trumpeting Carnosaur clone combo deck

[@STS-qi1qy]

Rover Blades ends up costing the same, as equipment, as Leyline Axe which also gives trample. So, yeah, it'll be interesting in limited but it's not cracking standard. I don't think crewing it makes up the difference.

[@vincanthofred8195]

7:45 I'm surprised they printed a card where cats get torched by a flamethrower. Seems strange.

[@joelmeeks8683]

I am looking forward to dying to a Phyrexian horde and then they cast Salvation Engine for a fast win. Like a white sun control deck needed more of this

[@albertKaltenbach]

The card that was teased that tap to make one red mana for each goblin u control has not been spoiled yet is it coming tomorrow

[@gilgamesh34]

Play salvation engine in the Boros vehicle commander that gives haste to vehicle creatures and animates them lol

[@imjusthere750]

After yesterday list of spoilers of cards with no abilities and not one of them being white. I’m convinced Isamaru is coming back.

[@MajraMangetsu]

It would mean he's immortal or a Spirit, lol.

[@Goldy01]

It's gotta be a 3/1 maan... right?

[@oscarv.1318]

Maximum Overdrive is also Pauper playable I'd say!

[@DynamicSheep]

Bounce Off AND Unsummon. Bouncy tempo

[@metal--babble346]

I'm gonna need new reading glasses. The ability text on some of these new cards seems exceptionally small

[@olivierbailly516]

@18:06: Kona works in a format where you don't consistently die by turn 3 assuming you never want to kill opponent's creatures. In the current meta, zero removal = guaranteed loss, unless you somehow beat the opponent faster. News flash: Kona is 4 mana and way too slow in this format to be effective. All these Elvish Piper effects are ungodly slow, and won't ever function in a format where Slickshot Show-Off and a bunch of other ultra fast cards are legal.

[@yannbeelen1630]

Any body reminds you of why is mouse sacred of éléphant in a Card ( exhaust card)

[@hippo1639]

Also love this set!

[@Athrolaxle]

Onwards! To the Algorithm!

[@ManaDrain315]

Why would you ever Helping Hand a Ball Lightning back into play? A tapped Ball Lightning doesn't do anything.

[@DriplessSet7]

How are they going to release a card called Maximum Overdrive and not have it animate artifacts or at the very least turn all vehicles into artifact creatures (or remove pilot requirements)

[@oia]

Clicking in at full speed!

[@thebarbecube317]

At max speed!

[@teejay5511]

Can we all just stop and look at wretched doll?? 4:45 Disturbing lore?! This cards artwork is straight wretched nightmare fuel.

[@Kjos_jax]

We've got all these wonderful tribes that need support but they want to lean into Mice hard? Keep that in bloomburrow

[@EarnestCreations]

StrangerThings instantly became my diamond in brute, loved the first season and how nostalgic it was for us born in the 80s, but then the innevitable happened: more seasons came shamelesly ruining every single good aspect about the original. Yet another one, yeah, they manage to do that, done it with Dark too. What a shame.

[@JetNAmplify]

Sadly the vehicle set has a lot of vehicles. Lots of cool card design tho

[@joshhudson9839]

The downside of the new clone is there's virtually no reason to not just play three steps ahead instead.

[@matthewmarshall5234]

Creature density? Uncounterable with Cavern of Souls? Virtually no reason to not play it in the "right" deck..

[@joshhudson9839]

@@matthewmarshall5234 Unless you're building some sort of combo deck I promise tsa is always gonna be the better inclusion.

[@alexj5940]

Third! Bronze medal for me 🤣

[@刹那-g7c]

In standard MTGA, don't be upset if you see "Good Game" in every game you see Aetherdrift cards, all standard decks aim for turn 3 or 4 win state and aether aims for turn 5 or more. a set below average, empty, directionless (in video games: a filler patch) with some reinforcements to discard and return but nothing outstanding.

[@chiefenumclaw7960]

Nascar meets MTG... let the entire franchise burn to the ground.

[@Goujiki]

Yea bro... Because people would be soooo excited with yet another "Werewolves & Vampires" set... Right? Lmao.

[@matthewmarshall5234]

That time of the month again?

​@@GoujikiRight, because nothing else exists.
