Aether Syphon — Driftline Draw
Aether Syphon is a compact artifact that rewards timing and card advantage. At {1}{U}{U} the Syphon gives you a steady draw engine for tempo plays: pay two and tap to draw, and its Start your engines reminder sets a tempo track that climbs when opponents lose life. This Near Mint Foil exemplifies Aetherdrift's focus on resource flow and subtle interaction; the foil treatment highlights the siphon's crystalline conduit and the energetic exhaust in the art.
In practice the card fits into control shells and midrange decks that can trigger the speed gain reliably. The Max speed clause converts routine draws into a mill angle so you can pressure opponents both in hand and library. For players who value predictable value and a modest combo enabler, Aether Syphon provides clean lines of play that pair well with repeatable draw effects and mill synergies.
