Following preview season tradition, Magic: The Gathering Head Designer, Mark Rosewater, has shared a teaser for Aetherdrift to his Blogatog.

While each bullet provides a partial hint for things to come within the set, a few of the more interesting details include a cycle of vanilla legendary creatures, three planeswalkers and one as a desparked legendary creature, a mechanic called start your engines!, and, of course, a new Lotus.

Some tidbits of rules text that appears on cards includes: “Put any number of permanent cards from your hand onto the battlefield”, “Whenever you activate an exhaust ability, draw a card”, and “Other Dinosaurs you control get +1/+1.”

Additionally, Rosewater shared several of the creature types being included in the set: Creature – Dinosaur Dragon Mount, Artifact Creature – Robot Turtle, and Creature – Zombie Cat Knight.

With just these hints we see a new mechanic, new ability, the return of Mounts and Dinosaurs, and much more.

So what do you think of Rosewater’s teaser? Are there any specific hints that stick out to you? Let us know your theories!

Previews for Aetherdrift start January 21.
