Afterburner Expert — Aetherdrift Sparkwright
Afterburner Expert brings efficient pressure to midrange green decks and goblin artifact shells. This Near Mint Foil extended art from Aetherdrift shows the goblin artificer in active construction, jetting forward with volatile components strapped to its back. On the table it reads as a resilient tempo piece. For two and a green you get a 4/2 body that can grow quickly via its exhaust ability and that continually offers recursion when you trigger other exhaust effects.
The card rewards activation sequencing and synergy rather than brute force. Use the exhaust ability to bank two +1/+1 counters and leverage sacrificial loops or repeated activations to refill the battlefield from your graveyard. It pairs well with token generators, artifact tutors, and other cards that care about counters. If you build around exhaust interactions this Rare foil becomes more than art and shimmer; it becomes a repeatable threat you can rely on in mid to late game stages. Add it to your deck and test how many times you can relight the afterburners during a match.
