First Look at Aetherdrift Precons - Temur Energy & Esper Zombies!

[@Great.AnotherChristian]

Madison Li was before Satya, I believe.

[@coldpizza9028]

She was

[@nivada428]

i think the zombie deck could also use cycling very well with the embalm/eternalize

[@20stardust]

I couldn’t be less excited for an “in universe” set…..

[@MikeTheBFG]

Has his tone and inflection always been cranked up to 20? I have been having issues watching him in the last year.

[@mightyhulk1483]

Yep, and it seems like he’s just mad at everything related to mtg for some reason. Trying to relate to the audience I guess but it’s really not all that terrible if we all keep playing

[@MikeTheBFG]

@mightyhulk1483 yea, it does feel that way.

[@bocellisghost9840]

It's definitely become unbearable, I don't remember it being this need when I first started watching

[@chanceclapp5526]

Thinking the face of the zombie deck looks like perhaps a mummified Temmet Vizier of Naktamun, could potentially be since he was azorius so now he is potentially a mummy, just add black and it fits the theme

[@ZuluDaGreat]

99% sure it is he has the same exact sword and whip thing as well as identical clothes (minus the mummy wraps) as the art for temmet

[@tdot8280]

what are the themes if the decks? Red Bull vs Mercedes?

[@Syp.D]

I really hope that we get something like you envisioned for the esper commander; as it's essentially an Altar of dementia in the command zone

[@victorbourguignon6897]

It would be cool but boy would that be silly. Sac a souls of the lost to mill yourself, embalm for 2, sac again for a gratuitous mill again. Slap a mondrak in there, maybe a screeching scorchbeast

[@Gzilla313]

If the eternal might deck says grow your mummy army, couldn’t it also be built around amass?

[@MechanizedMinionMTG]

As the Energy King I'm super excited to see an Energy Commander with access to Green; I have 4 decks that utilize the energy mechanic already and this one seems like it'll be vehicle focused. I'm betting Saheli lets you crew vehicles with energy instead of needing to tap creatures or buffs artifact creatures you control for energy.

[@RyanRippengaleSkeet]

I would argue, since it's called ETERNAL Might, it's likely to bring back Eternalize rather than Embalm

[@aurabozzi228]

I think it's going to do both. The face commander is a mummy, and only Embalm makes mummies. Maybe they can redefine eternalize lore-wise and make it so it does mummies too? And I think having too many 4/4s might make for repetitive combat math, idk

[@nopedefnope9924]

Matchbox or Hotwheels?

[@heresyseed]

Matchbox for authentic replicas… hot wheels for concepts…

[@blakhawk999]

​@@heresyseedwell said.

[@cosmicodyssey3382]

Both

[@_Fido_]

What was the fundraiser at the start? I forgot.

[@DuskyPredator]

Madison Li's ability is similar to that, but getting thr energy when casting an artifact, which is weaker than entering. If just a guess, could the element of "living energy" actually be creatures, maybe not even artifact creatures? So it could be a balance of getting living (non-artifact) creatures to build up energy, and then use it to boost any artifact creatures?

[@theoceanman8687]

FINALLY! AFTER ALL THESE YEARS! A TEMUR ENERGY DECK!!!

[@Manustalgia]

New precons yeeeeees! ❤

[@aurabozzi228]

I really don't think the Esper commander would give Embalm, because that would discourage you from playing cards that already have Embalm/Eternalize because the effect would be redundant. It think it's more likely that the commander does something with zombie tokens, when cards enter or leave the graveyard, stuff like that. Burn through cards probably means surveil and cycling

[@blakewyatt6066]

Ok so i include Hare Apparent with your Ardek ability and then just triple or double up every token and then sac them all to mill all my opponents of all their turns with in a few turns

[@PapyMagic]

Good ideas!!! About the zombies commander, I'm missing the "burn through cards" effect, I was thinking a life lost or payment...

[@cosmicprison9819]

Which one of these contains Stardust Dragon, which one Red Dragon Archfiend…? 😁

[@joshuadutton1273]

Wonder if the zombie precon will include one of those Amonkhet block punch out cards with the embalm/eternalize markers, since there will likely be too many cards with those mechanics for the typical 10 tokens included in a precon.

[@MagicMonkZA]

I think the Esper deck commander is Temmet from Amonket, the eternalize token for Temmet looks almost exactly like the Eternal Might commander.

[@mercury3344]

man, i really hope I can steal some of these cards for my Satya energy deck

[@matthewjecelin8358]

SCIENCE came out before MH3

[@Quarrenn17]

Technically Mummy is a creature type, but it’s only appeared in silver-border. Also, it would be hilarious if by “grow your mummy army” it meant that you literally make Mummy Army tokens. Lol

[@xkidxander]

The embalm one seems busted imo with token doublers/does not even have to be zombies that get milled

[@lockekaotix2613]

Hoping there would be some new rad counter cards with this set.

[@gordonbusseau9349]

The energy deck is going to make thopters that you can sac for energy counters instead of mana

[@phyrexianjudgement]

We need more deserts that are decent and hopefully this deck does it

[@Jrknight215]

literally buying the zombie deck to make a new Varina deck

[@FatstaxMTG]

Just throwing it out there aether revolt and all will be one are fantastic energy cards.

[@Darthnova-rd9nk]

I thought you were showing off the commander abilities

[@jek15origami]

That esper one better be an amass deck

[@GhostlyGhost333]

I’m underwhelmed with this Aetherdrift set. They unmagiced the magic set. At least the energy precon isn’t another Jeskai deck. Thank you for at least being different in color. The Esper deck has me curious at least. I like zombies, as it’s one of my favorites! I’ve only been running Dimir zombies because I don’t have a Esper zombie. Depending on what that deck does, I could see a potential upgrade for me. As for the rest of the set, easy pass for me. Gonna wait for Tarkir.

[@Y0kAiS]

I was literally wondering why they don’t have at esper zombie decks….

[@Y0kAiS]

I was literally wondering why they don’t have any esper zombie decks….

[@sensoriko]

The Fallout Science deck is gonna go up in price, ain't it?

[@theanalogkidmodular]

The Science deck is only partially an energy-focused deck, it has a big artifact theme as well so I'm not sure it will go up. The only really expensive card in the decklist is not energy-focused (Nuka-cola vending machine), the rest is bulk pricing for the most. Satya was an ok precon too, but needed a lot of upgrades to make it a bit faster and reliable. If you really wanted to go hard on energy you were better off picking and choosing from those two decks and throwing in some upgrades.

[@CaitiffPrince]

Get ready for that Anointed Procession Reprint...that's all I'm saying...🎉😂

[@zamangwanezikhali1052]

That would be AMAZING!!!

[@alexanderwilson3767]

Nah, that's a $60 for one card. That one won't see a reprint in a commander deck besides the secret lair cats and dogs deck

[@theputnamto3468]

the mummy lets you mill cards to pay for colorless costs lmao

[@Radjammin]

Sweet Baby Inc Consulted on this set. So my expectations are on the floor.

[@elahem6940]

Get over yourself, quit making everything political.

[@angrynapolean3820]

​@@elahem6940They made it political by hiring political propagandists.

[@lockekaotix2613]

I was kinda happy about this set. If what you say is true. I'll skip it and buy singles. Not putting any money in their hands.

[@Mirthful_Midori]

They've been working with WotC for many years now.

[@myxini]

oh ffs LOL, get over it

[@N13J]

The important question is, can we play -mtg- card game on motorcycles in this set?

[@MrLucasrn]

You know what would ba twist? If a the race is won by Tezzeret, got a spark, gave it to Glissa and she becomes a phyrexian planeswalker

[@Zeckenschwarm]

I don't think even planeswalkers can travel to New Phyrexia right now, since it is currently phased out from the rest of the multiverse. So I don't think Tezzeret could get there so easily.

[@MrLucasrn]

@ yeah, they also made a BS non explainable situation where completed planeswalkers just suddenly cured themselves.. Jace, vraska, examples

[@theputnamto3468]

wilhelt should have learned their lesson with nontoken/token.

[@adamholcomb1906]

I’ll grab Eternal Might for sure and course upgrade it to a 7-8 power🤍💙🖤🧟‍♂️🧟🧟‍♀️👍🏼👍🏼💯

[@jebron319]

oh no my varina deck might have rival

[@jeremyswartz2743]

esper zombies? nah give me gruul zombies.

[@darkmagicianfan3423]

[@auirex4557]

Gonna be honest, I understand the upset and what you're upset about. But this comment is just spam lmao.

[@darkmagicianfan3423]

@ I’m honestly very excited about this secret lair. I hope we get a Mr Krab Smothering Tithe.

[@imnotacat5299]

​@@auirex4557 most people are excited for Universe's Beyond, that's why they sell so much and why WOTC is leaning into it so hard. It makes money because there is a ton of demand lol You just only ever hear the people complaining because people that are happy don't have a reason to ramble on the internet 😂

[@joshuadutton1273]

I'M READY I'M READY I'M READY

[@pepeflamingo9626]

Im not very excited for the pod racing set.

[@thereddevils091]

More energy? Poor mordern ahahaha

[@Kjos_jax]

Love this game but hate how quickly they pump out sets... I haven't even updated things from the last set. What is wrong with slowing it down and letting things trickle out over the course of decades? They could stop making cards for an entire year and people wouldn't even care

[@GoinEZ]

Seriously!? Already!?!

[@mr.wafflesrz1137]

Wtf are you talking about? This is not releasing until February

[@GoinEZ]

@mr.wafflesrz1137 I know that but it feels like the spoilers never end.

[@mr.wafflesrz1137]

@GoinEZ you'll forget it by the time of release

[@MrSantaklaus]

Based on the images, I would guess a distributor accidentally put images up too early, and someone decided to share what was supposed to be on the back end. This is the exact reason stores don't get to see what playmates and such look like during the ordering window. Instead, they only know they are ordering Innestrad Remastered Mythic A...

[@bigtree3187]

@@MrSantaklausthat one is amazon 😂

[@idontneedanameify]

It's too late, I've already got my Atraxa energy deck, don't need no red.

this set looks so goofy

[@Designer-Brandon]

My Little Pony, next? These decks dont look interesting. Hard pass!

[@aurabozzi228]

I guess everyone has their own opinion haha I think I've never been more excited for a set or a deck! I want the Eternal Might precon as soon as possible!!!

More shitty energy counter mechanics 🙄🙄🙄

[@xXNoverXx]

More humanoid commanders zzzzzz couldn't be less attractive rlly

[@MrABK108]

Thanks, I hate them! And I hate Aetherdrift and all these nonsense sets. We went from Urza's block to this.

[@ZombieExpert115]

Embalm is trash

[@Stevious09]

Energy seems cool I hope they make more cards to use it. I would love some grul energy decks

Saheeli will have "Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell you get *Energy* then you may pay an amount of *energy* equal to that spells cost, if you do copy that spell."
