A Sneak Peek At Cards From Upcoming Aether Revolt For Magic The Gathering
December 7, 2016 by deltagamegirl22
January 20th will bring the next set in the Kaledesh block into the game of Magic The Gathering, and it looks to be just as beautiful as the first set. Aether Revolt will continue the story of innovative Kaledesh as things take a darker turn, but perhaps the most exciting news is the coming of Ajani into this set.
The Kaladesh Inventors' Fair, a celebration of innovation and ingenuity, was a ruse.
For decades, Kaladesh was in the throes of an inventors' renaissance. The governing Consulate fostered innovation and optimism. But then, at the pinnacle of this era of creativity, the Consulate cracked down, confiscating inventions and detaining many genius inventors.
The Consulate claims their actions were for the safety of the citizens, but it has become apparent that the Planeswalker Tezzeret looms behind much of the aggression. A divide is forming between the Consulate and the inventors. Where once there was a shared spirit of innovation, now there is discontent and revolt. The renegades are rising...
Not only is his card art gorgeous, his abilities are RIDICULOUS! This guy is just begging to join a Commander deck. All those life generating and card control abilities are going to make things crazy!
There are plenty of interesting cards on the way and this gives you a run down of what's coming as part of the story. Ajani of course is awesome but there are plenty of other ways to create your deck.
Are you looking forward to Aether Revolt?

Hopefully this new set will bring people back in currently the secondary market it in tatters. I haven’t be playing for awhile… but hopefully my mates will report back on their thoughts.
Yeah, our friend owns a game store and he said they can really feel the drop in sales and players over the past year.
WotC have come out and said that they got the Zendikar block wrong with regards to who the threat should be, in addition to its tone. That it shouldn’t have all been about the Eldrazi. They then made the same mistake with the latest Innistrad block; people liked the plane first time round, because it was all about Vampires, Zombies and Werewolves, but then made it all Eldrazi. Mechanically, the set was sound, but on an aesthetic / flavour level, I’d argue otherwise. Personally speaking, I’ve so far enjoyed the Kaledesh block much more than the last 2 blocks, and… Read more »
I’d also say that WotC need to have a look at the rarity level of some of its cards. If you want to build a competitive deck, you are typically looking at £100+ just from sorting out your mana base.
And the reason that is, is because WotC seem to cater so much to the secondary market.
As Boros Vehicles deck player I am having my eyes on Heart of Kiran.
For some reason this new set hasn’t grabbed me. I’m saving my money for the Egyptian set coming after it
I love the artwork is Ajani the mane man in this game.
