15 More Top Cards from Aetherdrift

Reddit

Hello happy folks! Today is the third article where I am counting down my best cards from Aetherdrift for casual kitchen table decks like Commander, multiplayer, Highlander, Type Four, Five Color and even Peasant and Pauper. This is a sequel to the first one here. Remember this is not the Commander Cards since they were designed for us, it's the other stuff, that'll be later!

Ready?

Honorable Mention #1. (#16. Overall) Engine Rat

Engine Rat

This one-drop mono-Black common is hitting around here with its deathtouch to play keep away from people swing at your way with bigger bodies or costed stuff on the ground. Then you can mana sink six here to force your foes to each lose a pair of life, great mana sink win-con with that extra Cabal Coffers mana or just to get to Max Speed! Love it you will too!

#15. Caradora, Heart of Alacria

Caradora, Heart of Alacria

This four mana Selesnya colored rare legendary lady is next! She's got a 4/2 size and then an ETB ability Tutor a Mount or Vee to your hand from your library! Then when one or more counters would be put on a dork or Vee? Add one! Note that's not just Mounts, but all dorks! We know how popular and beloved +1/+1 counters are for play as well as a Tutor on a Command Zone able with a high power to crew/mount it!

#14. Push the Limit

Push the Limit

This weirdly uncommon (shouldn't it a be a rare?) mass recursion spell brings back all Mounts and Vees for a turn from your graveyard and gives them haste and crewed this turn if a Vee. Sure, they are only around for a turn but that could easily be long enough to kill one or two players. Love it way much!

#13. Ketramose, the New Dawn

Ketramose, the New Dawn

This three-cost legendary Orzhov God is next! With a 4/4 size and the expected indestructible, lifelink and menace too. Then this can attack or block all up and down the block if you've got 7 cards in exile. Then as players them there from the graveyard or play you draw and lose a life. For example, if you Swords to Plowshares an opposing dork, you'll cantrip. If you Bojuka Bog their graveyard draw one but that's probably enough to make this attack and block. Love that much but a Commander that really wants to lean on Farewell feels a bit pushed... hence it hitting here.

#12. Hulldrifter, Risky Shortcut, Voyage Home AND Kickoff Celebrations

Hulldrifter
Risky Shortcut
Voyage Home
Kickoff Celebrations

Next is this card drawing fun foursome. The common Vee costs five for a 3/2 flying crew 3 body that draws you two on arrival. The three-cost mono-back sorcery common draws you two for a splashable cost and then everyone takes two, your foes too! Love that much replacing your Sign in Blood effects. This seven-cost uncommon Azorius card draw affinity for artifacts is next drawing you three and you gain a triad of life too! Then the red common two-drop enchantment has start your engines and discarding one to draw two on arrival. You can sac it for no costs when you've got max speed to give your team haste, nasty good and then recursive card draw and graveyard filling for recursion like Sun Titan or Replenish is great here. Love this quartet much!

#11. Aether Syphon

Aether Syphon

This three-drop uncommon mono-Blue artifact with a Cancel cost is next! You'll start your engines when it arrives, and with max speed you'll turn drawing into all foes milling two. Then you can tap it as soon as it drops for two to draw that card to trigger the max speed too! Love it much but I wish you had the option of milling yourself.

#10. Aatchik, Emerald Radian

Aatchik, Emerald Radian

This has a legendary Insect Druid body with an ETB ability to make an Insect of the 1/1 variety for each card of the artifact and dorks in your graveyard when they arrive! Great stuff! And then when one of those precious tokens dies? (Or another Insect too!) Shoot each foe for damage and then this grows with that +1/+1 counter. Love that much with the self-graveyard filling we have as using it for another hand.

#9. Demonic Junker

Demonic Junker

This seven-drop max Vee with affinity for those precious artifacts is next! Minimum cost? One! It's on a 4/3 crew two and then it's here for that ETB to have each player destroy one target dork so a Ravenous Chupacabra for everyone! That's nasty in multiplayer and Commander. That's may, so you don't have to for some that are screwed. If you destroyed your stuff this grows too if you've got a token or Solemn Simulacrum to feed it. It's a multiplayer essential!

#8. Oviya, Automech Artisan

Oviya, Automech Artisan

Halfway on this list is this four-drop mono-Green fun legendary lady with the ability to give all creatures attacking your foes trample...not just yours! Great politics there from the Command Zone or with goad to improve them. Then you can tap her for one Green to toss a dork or Vee onto the battlefield from your hand, yay for free stuff from your hand. Artifact dorks dropped this way increase in size too!

#7. Perilous Snare

Perilous Snare

This three-drop artifact has start your engines and then is an Oblivion Ring for the same cost on an artifact not enchantment form! We know artifact synergies are way more powerful than enchantments ones too, right? Once you hit max speed tap this for no mana at sorcery speed to grow a dork or vee with a +1/+1 counter all up and down the block. Love that removal and then something else added too! Since Commanders could come back, answering them with this can sometimes delay or just add tax for the next round keeping it off the board if high.

#6. Agonasaur Rex

Agonasaur Rex

Our last one before the Top Five is this five-drop on curve trampler for an 8/8 game wining size, nasty! It cycles for three and then tosses a pair of counters on a dork and then gives it trample and indestructible that turn. Amazing as a combat trick, trample surprise over a chump blocker or answer to save your key thing!

#5. Thopter Fabricator

Thopter Fabricator

This three-drop 4/4 crew 2 flying too vee is next! When you draw that second card on each turn, not just yours, make a free 1/1 flying Thopter. Just two will pilot this. Love that with artifact matters, vees, flyers, tokens and loads more! From Favorable Winds to Tempered Steel this is amazingly strong! Great support.

#4. Gloryheath Lynx

Gloryheath Lynx

This two-drop Mount with 2/3 and lifelink and saddle 2 is next! When attacking with it saddled you can toss a basic Plains into your hand form your library! Note that's not "if your foe has more lands" like normal, so that's very strong all along!

#3. Transit Mage

Transit Mage

This three-drop mono-Blue uncommon 2/2 will ETB and then tutor to your hand a medium costed artifact of 4 of 5. Love dropping it the turn after you drop this! From nasty like The One Ring to ramp like Gilded Lotus and Solemn Simulacrum there are many great options here! Love it you will too, and it doesn't need to be in an artifact dense deck to work either.

#2. Daretti, Rocketeer Engineer

Daretti, Rocketeer Engineer

Love this 5-drop 5-toughness power equal to your priciest artifact's cost, love him so much I just built around him here - and I didn't break him like many. This has an ETB and attack trigger too like Sun Titan to swap an artifact from in play with your graveyard just like Goblin Welder but that's a tap. Not here! And the bigger the cost of what you bought back the bigger this is! He is built to abuse his own ability! Nasty! I love him so much!

#1. Far Fortune, End Boss

Far Fortune, End Boss

This Rakdos colored four-drop legendary dork is my final card on today's list and another powerhouse in your Command Zone! This starts with your engines and then when you swing you shoot each foe for a damage, that's for each dork that swung too. Drop him first, swing, and then smash. Then your max speed will increase all damage dealt to opposing stuff or them, but not yours so good for stuff like Pyroclasm et all. Including their own ability too! Love them loads! But pretty rough leading a brew for your foes. Be your own End Boss!

There we go! I hope you enjoyed my third week of top stuff, join me back next week for more good stuff!
