Both the “Dates & Details” and product page for Aetherdrift have now gone live, providing us with a few interesting details. The biggest being that as of Aetherdrift, prerelease kits will no longer contain Arena codes. Instead, so long as you sign up for your event with the email associated with your Arena account, these rewards will automatically find their way into your Arena inbox within two weeks of the event. There is no indication at this time what the limit per account will be.
As previously reported here, Aetherdrift Play Booster boxes will be dropping down from 36 packs per box to 30 packs per box. The MSRP per pack is not changing, however, and you should expect Play Booster box prices to be reduced proportionally.
Moving on to the product page for Aetherdrift, we can get an early look at the Play Booster contents for this set. The rarity breakdown per pack looks like this:
1 – 4 Rares
3 – 5 Uncommons
6 – 9 Commons
1 Land
This is the same breakdown in rarity that we had with Duskmourn, so it seems unlikely there is a Bonus Sheet or a dedicated slot for Vehicles as was rumored. As a reminder, Modern Horizons 3 had a dedicated slot for new-to-Modern reprints while Outlaws of Thunder Junction had the Breaking News bonus sheet, and both product pages list the rarity breakdown as “1-5 cards of rarity Rare of higher”.
