Im excited to see that famously deep worldbuilding thats passed me by brought to the card game, and seeing which characters are revealed next has easily been the most engaged many of my non-MTG-playing friends have been with it
Bringing them back to the TCG 21 years later is an interesting mechanical shift, and one that makes sense given the Scarlet & Violet era of the card game is running a year longer than is normal The four trainers in Journey Together are favorites N ( Black & White ), Lillie ( Sun & Moon ), and Hop ( Sword & Shield ), joined by the most popular trainer from Scarlet & Violet , online influencer Iono
Its a good fit in lifegain/life drain decks, zombie typal decks, or even Bloomburrow -inspired bat decks that care about gaining and losing life
The latter is mostly due to the lifegain, sure, but getting to bring creatures back even temporarily can be really strong
However, I think the most surprising aspect of Aetherdrift Limited is how long the games can be
Ultra rare EX cards from different expansions
