mtg aetherdrift card list (DFT) & Gallery - MTG / Aetherdrift

There are so many original characters, creatures and concepts to cram in, and only so many existing cards that are a thematic fit

Fire / Ice and Cryptic Command are examples of these and both are much better than Charm in terms of power however Command costs to much to be an aid in screws and Fire / Ice is just so off the curve in power that it outright wins more games in a dull way than it does rescue games from the clutches of a screw

No one way is better than another so long as it allows you to survive long enough to begin overpowering your opponents in the late game

It's also close to a one-sided wipe in a very popular archetype, though obviously if any of your foes bring +1/+1 counters too, its strength goes down significantly

This means I do have a bias against cards like Mind Twist and Treachery so while I class them as overrated that should be taken with a pinch of salt as I certainly underrate them

They cannot be easily milled or defeated and it takes the table to take them out
