Magic: The Gathering Aetherdrift revs up in the Philippines


Rev up your engines, Pinoy MTG players! Aetherdrift, the latest set from Magic: The Gathering (MTG), is shifting into high gear with prerelease events starting February 7. Get ready for a multiverse-spanning race full of high-octane action. The tabletop release is set for February 14.

In this thrilling new chapter, players will compete in the Ghirapur Grand Prix—a death race where the ultimate prize is the Aetherspark, a legendary Planeswalker Spark. Even Chandra, the iconic Planeswalker, is vying for victory to reclaim what Nissa lost. With fiery competition across Avishkar, Amonkhet, and Muraganda, only the fastest and fiercest will survive.
