Kick the Engines
The Starting Column is a compact utility artifact from Aetherdrift that rewards timing and incremental advantage. Starting Column gives you a predictable ramp path with its speed mechanic and a reliable colorless sink for three mana. In play it functions as both a mana fixer with a single tap to add one mana of any color and as a late game card selection tool when you sacrifice it at full tempo.
As a Near Mint Foil, this Starting Column shows crisp borders and a subtle foil sheen that catches light without obscuring the art. Use it in midrange decks that want smooth color access or in a tempo shell that leverages the speed mechanic to grow value when opponents take damage. Practical to slot into many builds, this is a common that often outperforms its rarity. Add this foil piece to your collection and tune your engine lines now.
