Get ready to ignite your engines and assemble your crew as Wizards of the Coast introduces the thrilling world of professional racing into the latest Magic: The Gathering expansion, Aetherdrift. With a visually striking aesthetic reminiscent of Tron, Aetherdrift brings a fleet of artifact vehicles to the game, along with two innovative mechanics: "Speed" and "Exhaust." This multiversal expansion spans across the planes of Avishkar, Amonkhet, and Muraganda, setting the stage for an epic "Death Race."
For those new to the world of Magic: The Gathering or seasoned players looking to dive into the latest expansion, your local game shop is the perfect place to start. Not only can you find booster packs and exclusive event items like Prerelease Sets, but it's also an excellent spot to ask questions and learn more about the game's expansions and various modes.
If you're planning to buy in bulk, major retailers have you covered. Aetherdrift is set to launch on February 14, and here's a comprehensive list of what you can preorder:

If you're looking to quickly build or upgrade a deck, Play Boosters are your best bet. However, it's worth noting that previous Play Booster Boxes, such as those for the Duskmourn expansion, included 36 Play Boosters, whereas Aetherdrift offers 30. If you're after alternate art and Mythic foils, the Collector Box might be the right choice for you.
**Aetherdrift Commander Decks**
The Aetherdrift expansion introduces two new Commander Decks, both available for preorder. These decks are designed for the popular Commander game mode, which supports multiplayer games. Commander Decks are an affordable way to get 100 cards ready to play, making them an ideal starting point for Magic beginners. Each deck includes a foil commander, a set of synergistic cards, and a Collector Booster Sample Pack.

01 ready-to-play Living Energy Aetherdrift MTG Commander Deck (100 cards), a 2-card Collector Booster Sample Pack, 10 double-sided tokens, and 1 deck box $45.94 at Amazon

01 ready-to-play Eternal Might Aetherdrift MTG Commander Deck (100 cards), a 2-card Collector Booster Sample Pack, 10 double-sided tokens, and 1 deck box $47.99 at Amazon
The first Aetherdrift Commander is Saheeli, Radiant Creator, leading an Energy-focused Red/Green/Blue deck named "Living Energy." The second Commander, Temmet, Naktamun's Will, commands a Zombie-themed Black/Blue/White deck called "Eternal Might." Both decks are available for around $50, with a bundle option including two copies of each deck for $180. You can view the full Commander Decklists here to see exactly what you're getting.
