We shifts into high gear on our unboxing of Aetherdrift, a Magic: The Gathering set that merges high-stakes racing with multiverse-spanning adventure. Releasing February 14, 2025, this set puts players in the driver’s seat of the Ghirapur Grand Prix (GGP), where the worlds of Aviskar and Amonkhet collide in an interplanar racing spectacle. The set introduces innovative mechanics that capture the thrill of racing. Let’s explore what each product in this high-octane set has to offer.
Play Booster Box: The Core Experience
The Play Booster Box serves as the main entry point into Foundations Aetherdrift. Each box contains a premium 2-card Box Topper, making the unboxing experience special from the start. Inside, you’ll find 30 Aetherdrift Play Boosters, with each pack holding 14 cards plus a Token or Art card. This balance of quantity and quality makes the Play Booster Box ideal for draft events, building a collection, or simply enjoying the thrill of opening packs. The 14-card format ensures a good mix of commons, uncommons, and the chance for rare and mythic pulls.




Aetherdrift Bundle
The Aetherdrift Bundle offers a well-rounded starting point with 9 Play Boosters. The package includes a Traditional Foil alt-art card as its centerpiece, complemented by a practical set of 40 Land cards split between foil and nonfoil versions. The included Spindown life counter, card storage box, and reference cards make this perfect for new players or those looking to explore the set without committing to a full booster box.




Premium Finish Line Bundle
Taking the bundle concept further, the Finish Line Bundle combines collector and player items. It includes 2 Collector Boosters and 6 Play Boosters, offering a taste of both worlds. The 20 foil Lands, 3 Extended-Art cards, and 2 Box Topper cards add significant value. Special additions like the foil card storage box, custom Spindown life counter, and decorative mana symbol stickers make this bundle stand out as a premium option.




Pre-Release Kit: Early Access
Pre-Release kits continue to offer the excitement of playing with new cards before the official release. Each kit contains 6 Play Boosters, with a special bonus – every pack includes a foil, year-stamped Rare or Mythic Rare. The included Spindown die helps players track their life totals during Pre-Release events, making these kits perfect for tournament play.




Commander Decks: Focused Strategy
Living Energy (GWR)
The first Commander deck explores Aviskar’s technological themes through energy counters and artificers. Led by Saheeli Rai, this Green-Blue-Red deck offers new ways to manipulate energy and artifacts. The deck introduces unique strategies that blend artifact creatures with energy mechanics, providing fresh gameplay options for Commander players.

Eternal Might (WUB)
The second deck takes players to Amonkhet with a White-Blue-Black zombie strategy. Featuring Temmet as the commander, this deck explores the Eternalize mechanic in new ways. It focuses on zombie tribal synergies and discard mechanics, offering a different take on classic undead strategies.

Both Commander decks introduce ten never-before-seen cards each, expanding the format’s card pool. These new additions come with alternative versions, adding variety for collectors. The decks also include reprints with new art that fit the Aetherdrift theme. Each deck comes complete with:
- 1 foil borderless Commander
- 1 additional foil borderless Legendary card
- 98 regular cards
- 10 double-sided tokens
- 1 helper card
- 1 deck box
- 1 Collector Booster Sample Pack (2 cards)

Foundations Aetherdrift successfully balances variety with accessibility, offering clear choices for different types of players while maintaining a focused product line that responds to community feedback.
