Overview

  • The expansion is set in the Sothera system and features ’70s pulp sci-fi–inspired art alongside an extended narrative by Roy Graham and Seth Dickinson.
  • Spacecraft cards introduce a station mechanic that gains charge counters from tapped creatures to become permanent artifact creatures.
  • Five new planet lands use the same station system to accumulate counters and unlock powerful color-specific abilities after twelve charges.
  • Eldrazi cards gain a warp ability for discounted casting with exile-triggered recasting and a void mechanic adds kicker effects tied to warped or departing permanents, while lander tokens let players fetch basic lands tapped.
  • Commander format support expands as legendary vehicles and spacecraft can serve as commanders and a colorless Tezzeret planeswalker joins revived archetypes like Slivers and Llurgoyfs.
