Start Your Engines
Amonkhet Raceway brings a tactical twist to your mana base and combat phases. Amonkhet Raceway is a land from Aetherdrift that enters the battlefield with a playful mechanic called Start your engines which tracks speed and rewards aggression; in practice it provides colorless mana and a conditional Max speed ability that can turn a steady board into a surprise tempo swing. Players who script precise attack windows will value the way the card converts incremental opponent life loss into increasing options across multiple turns.
Use Amonkhet Raceway as a utility land in aggro and midrange shells where haste plays and turn sequencing matter. The Max speed ability taps to give a target creature haste until end of turn, which pairs cleanly with creatures that benefit from one more attack step or sacrifice triggers. This copy is Light Play English from the Aetherdrift set and reads well on the table while adding thematic flavor tied to Amonkhet racing culture.
